8 Months Old

On Tuesday, the 18th, Molly turned 8 months old!  Here are a couple of pictures of her from that day and some fun facts about her:

Molly....
-eats: pureed pears, apples, squash, peas (not a huge favorite), carrots, and yogurt; small bits of banana, avacado, crackers, bread/crust, pancakes and waffles, and anything else she can get from us (she's tried lasagna and pasta noodles, and pizza

-has 2 little teeth on the bottom and it seems likely that one of the top ones will be coming in soon

-doesn't like getting dressed

-usually sleeps from 7:30pm-6:30/7:00 am, waking once to eat; naps from 9:30-11:30 am and 1:30-4:30 pm

-sleeps with her monkey friend, Bluey (Ella's Pinkie's brother)

-crawls super fast, especially when she seems something she wants

-pulls herself to standing and has begun cruising along the coffee table and sofa

-loves these toys: Matchbox cars (especially when Rob and Ella drive them by her on the floor), things that play music (she just started "dancing" by rocking on her hands and knees when she hears music), balls, anything that she can chew on

-enjoys being outside-- watching the leaves blow, cars pass, and kids playing

-likes going in her stroller for walks

-just moved into a "big girl" car seat a few weeks ago (a backward facing convertible car seat instead of her infant carrier seat)

-occasionally says, "Mama"....mostly just babbles---"nah, nah, nah" or "blah, blah, blah"



-growls when she is excited

-mimics someone blowing raspberries or sticking out her tongue

-recognizes the signs for "all done," "milk," "eat," and "dog"

-LOVES dogs!

-can climb our stairs

-wants to be wherever Ella is--she LOVES Ella!

-is sweet, pleasant, inquisitive, and good-natured

 When I make breakfast, Molly likes to sit on the floor and look through the apple box

 tasting the apples
