Lilah, 8 Months

Oh my baby girl, this post is long over due. You will be (gasp!) 9 months old next week. We've been having a ball with the pretty weather though, so the blog has had to wait.

You have had such a big month. You went on your first plane ride, had your first big girl bath (of which you were not particularly fond of) met your great grandma and Pappy's side of the family, you got your first TWO teeth, you are crawling...oh my how you are crawling, you can pull up, you're cruising and plusalso....you are the cutest baby girl there ever was!

Your crawling definitely started as an army crawl. You were so good at it, we didn't think you'd ever get up on all fours. But you did. Yesterday I saw you bear crawl. Today I watched you go up a step and almost two. You get where you want to go for sure!

Pulling up is not at mastery level yet. You can do it sometimes, but not on every time, which makes you mad! You can cruise and transfer from place to place, or place to person effortlessly. You are so big!

I was scared that you wouldn't look like a baby anymore with your new teeth, but boy are the cute! I think those two top ones are on their way too. You have been screaming your wild animal scream a lot the last few days. I think it's your pain scream. Poor baby!

It is ridiculous how many times a day I get stopped by strangers because you are so cute. First they notice your red hair. Then they see how blue your eyes are. And then you smile and they are stuck. Those dimples are just the icing on the cake, baby girl!

You are also giving kisses now. Love those big, open mouth baby kisses. Your big brother wipes off my kisses now. Punk! But not you, you love mama kisses.

We just love you so much Lilah Lou. Here are your 8 month chair pictures. You did not make this easy for mama by the way!!
