Adlee....8 Months!

Finally....I am getting this post up!  Again....about 2 weeks late, but the picture was taken on the day.  She is doing her "so big" trick in this picture.  It was the only way to get her to not play with the sticker and stay still at the same time.  I'll take it :)  This little girl is getting quite the personality.  She is a very happy baby but knows when she isn't getting full attention too and that does not make her a happy camper.  I think she has gotten so used to the camera because as soon as I pull it out she knows what to do.  Loving puffs and yogurt bites (because she can feed herself) and prunes!  Of all things....
Adlee is also loving all things straps.  Her straps to her high chair, car seat, stroller, straps on moms bags, anything!!!! She loves sucking on them and feeling the texture.  Weird....  She is eating 3-4 oz bottle still and starting to eat lots of baby food, or I will puree what Dan and I eat.  She loves that too!  Still not officially a crawler yet, but she moves in her own way by scooting backwards, pulling herself in full circles, and gets up on all fours and rocks.  We definitely need to check what we leave on the floor and baby proof our house.  She loves swimming and when you are down on the floor playing with her.  She is sleeping through the night (again) and I'm hoping it will last.  One of her two front teeth have popped through on the top, and the other one is closely following.  She is clapping when excited and can make quite the few squeals too.  We are working on teaching her waving bye right now!  Another little funny thing, when you fake laugh at Adlee she goes crazy giggling.  Not when you are giving a nice real laugh though, only fake ones.  It is so funny!  Both Dan and I are not taking anything for granted with this little girl.  She is such a blessing and we are still thanking God daily for this gift he gave us.
