Miss Emily was 8 months old on the 11th. She is a girl on the go these days! She is crawling like a champ and will follow us all over the place. Emily has also been pulling up for almost a month! Right after she got her crawling down pat she starting pulling up. Now she is pulling up on everything, which means getting into everything! Also with pulling up comes a few bumps and bruises since she's still a little wobbly at times. We are also in the very early stages of cruising from one object to the next. Overall Emily is a super sweet, laid back, happy baby. We hardly ever hear her whine or cry unless she's sleepy or hungry. She's sleeping good and eating good most of the time. I weighed her on the 11th and she weighed 21 lbs exactly. I feel like we have been teething for an eternity now with no teeth to show for it yet, but I'm sure they'll come pretty soon. Emily loves to eat yogurt any kind of snacks and recently we have been giving her tiny tastes of a few of the things that we are eating. She loves chicken! and also likes pancakes pretty good. Emily babbles a good bit and she says "Hey!" and tries to say "bye, bye, bye". She has the wave that goes with the bye-bye down pat. Emily thinks Kate is the greatest thing ever! Kate is still a super sweet big sis too even though she's starting to get a little frustrated at times now that Emily is mobile and able to get to some of her toys. Kate has always been pretty cautious in general and we are starting to see that Emily may be a little more of a daredevil. Nick and I have been laughing at her "trust fall" lately. If she knows that one of us is close enough to catch her and she has pulled up to a standing position somewhere, she will just give us a look and let go, falling back knowing that we will catch her. Time is flying by and Emily is getting so big! I feel like it will be no time before she will be walking and then talking. We are enjoying every minute of every stage with Emily and love seeing her figure out new things and master new skills. I cannot even express how blessed we are with both of our girls!
Emily 8 Months Old
You can see one of her mishaps on her forehead. She had bumped her head that day pulling up in her crib
This is usually how Emily greets me when I go in to get her in the morning or after a nap
