Eight Months

Hey friends!  I'm eight months old today!  Still no teeth, still not crawling, and not quite 17lbs.  I weigh as much as my mama did on her first birthday though.  We're just little :)  I love to chit-chat.  My favorite sounds to make are dada, nana, tata (always whispered), baba, and ppplllttthhh.  And I said, "mama" just briefly yesterday.  If no one is paying attention to me I let out a short high-pitched yelp to get someone to look my way.  I get really excited when mama sets me in her lap to read a book.  I just want to grab the book so badly and put it in my mouth, but I know we don't eat books so my palms sweat and I can hardly contain myself.  Mama and daddy play rough with me on the floor and it makes me laugh really hard.  I like to find and pick up any tiny thing (dirt) I can find on the carpet during tummy time.  I'm getting really good with my pinchers!  I love to eat apples and oatmeal, mashed potatoes and gravy, bananas, avocado, fruit and greek yogurt.  I do not love to eat peas.  I've finally gotten the hang of the church nursery and time without mama in general.  For my 2/3 birthday today I'm heading to Haven's to play with all of my baby friends.  Wednesday mornings are still my favorite.
