8 months old!

Oh how the months fly by...

8 months old!

Dad...I'm ready...

As I have shared in previous posts, one of Abby's favorite times of day is when I bring her in to the bathroom for her dad to give her a bath. It is fun to see how much more aware she has become. When she hears the tub start running she looks in that direction and makes excited noises. After I get her ready for the bath, I carry her to the door and she grabs the edge of the door, pushes it open and peeks her head around to find her dad. You have to be here to see how adorable it really is! This picture will give you an idea:

Mirror, Mirror on the wall...

Abby loves to sit in front of the mirror in her room and play. She has really started responding to the "baby" in the mirror and I was finally able to catch it on video. I don't think she knows it's her yet, but she is fascinated by the little baby moving in the mirror.

Prodigy?

So what's new?

What's new with Abby:

• She has not just one, but two bottom teeth.
• When we go to the store and the cashier (or another customer) doesn't pay attention to her when she is looking at them, she makes herself known. She yells at them until they look and then she smiles!
  
• She thinks it's funny to spit her food at us! (could be because we have a hard time not cracking up every time she does it)
  
• She is not crawling yet, but has been getting around. If she wants to get somewhere, she rolls to the other side of the room.
• She talks a whole lot. It might be baby talk, but she is a communicator for sure!
  

Latest photo shoot below (how can I resist?):

Fast asleep

I just had to share how sweet Abby is when she sleeps. She is doing great and napping really well now. She naps twice a day, her first around 8:30 and her second around 12:30. On Sunday morning, I think she was having an especially good rest because I was able to sneak in a get these shots without her moving an inch.

She tucks her little hands under her when she sleeps.

Joe says we look alike when we sleep....Maybe he is referring to the mouth wide open and the drool puddle next to her face? Hmmm...I don't know!

Hanging Out

Some new pictures...

Check her out in her sweats and sneaks!

She is not really sure what to do with her shoes. When we put them on her, she rubs her feet together a lot and then just stares at them with a big smile on her face. In this picture, eh you know...she just decided to eat them! :)

Aunt Chrissy came for a visit!

First time on Daddy's shoulders. This was also her first time tasting black raspberry ice cream with sprinkles. Oh no...we didn't give her any, but when her daddy got his cone she swooped in before we could stop her and got some for herself!
