8 months

emelia was 8 months yesterday

for once i feel like i've gained some time

i was sure that she was about to turn 9 months--and have been telling people that for the past 2 weeks

hooray for getting a whole month back

our girl-girl (or just girl--as xan like's to call her)

is just the sweetest thing ever

have i said that already?? :)

as of this week, she is officially crawling

has two teeth

waves bye-bye

claps

smacks her lips when you say "kiss"

is starting to eat more and more big people food

AND gets up 2 or 3 times a night

yes, we've regressed big time, and mama is tired

but, i know my days of getting up with a baby are numbered

 so i don't mind

she sucks her thumb, and loves her favorite owl blankie

as of now she is still sleeping in our room--

maybe i'll move her next week

 i'm not ready quite yet
