8 months old.

So many changes in the past month. We've welcomed two teeth without too much fuss. Given up solids for the second time. (She's 18 lbs + on momma's milk so she doesn't seem to be suffering.)

Made a long road trip to CA for Christmas with the Anderson side of the family. This was her first time to meet some great-grandparents and one set of cousins, aunt and uncle.

Her easy going attitude and joyful grin won many a heart.

Her newest acquired skill was pulling to standing the day before we left to come home. The huge grin lighting her face was followed by wails as she tumbled to the floor bumping her head. Hence the nervous look on her face in this first picture. She's getting better at getting down gracefully without as many head bumps.

She has discovered the joys of scooting around the bathtub, sending showers of waters flying from her kicking feet and patting hands. She still learning that if your put your face IN the water to chew on toys you'll also get the bonus of a mouth/noseful of water. Not quite so much fun.

Lucas is her life. She lights up when he comes over to play with her or take her out of her exersaucer ( gulp!) or help her walk across the room. Boy, does she love that.

She contentedly plays on the floor, making expeditions from the living room to the kids room where books/toys/ and papers make tasty snacks.

Always curious she curiously peers over my shoulder while yanking my hair from her perch in the back pack. What momma does is ALWAYS of great interest. The backpack certainly spares my shoulder. Very grateful for it.

She will be really movin' across the room in her commando crawl position, pauses and assumes a models pose on her side and elbow with and leg cocked.

The clapping of hands is a bit confused. She thinks that you clap your hands when in distress instead of a congratulations for a job well done. So, she cries and claps. Such a funny adorable baby girl.

Thank you Auntie Ingrid for the new jammies!
