Three red heads and a couple blondes: Lily 8 months

Lily turned 8 months on the 22nd. Here are some things she has been up to this month:

Lily will get in crawling position and rock back and forth like she wants to go somewhere. Then she will belly out.

Finally rolling from her back to tummy, turning into quite the tumble weed.

Static from the tent... she does have hair :)

She waves her arms up and down when she is happy or excited.

Can spin in circles, using her arms, while she is playing on the ground. Especially effective when she is on the hard wood floor.

When she is sitting she will reach really far for things and that results in her falling on her tummy or side. She is getting the hang of falling softly so she doesn’t cry.

Saying “da da da” a lot. She will repeat after one of us says it.

She pulls herself up onto her knees holding on the edge of her crib

she is trying to roar like a lion too!

New foods: avocado and apricots.

Figured out how to clap her hands together.

I think she signs more when she wants to eat something really yummy.

Shakes her head back and forth like she is saying no. It is pretty funny, she especially does it while she is eating. Her mouth is wide open like she wants you to put food in it.

Lily slept on her stomach a few times during nap time. She took a much longer nap each time, I hope she figures out soon that sleeping on your tummy is wonderful :)

She got a sinus infection and is still currently on antibiotics.

She has been sleeping through the night more and more (she is going on a week straight!) I think the antibiotics are helping.

She is crazy in the high chair. She will not sit still. Today she turned herself all the way around and pulled herself up to her knees. (and yes it is an unsafe high chair I bought at a garage sale, after her little bust a move I made it safer and strapped her down, even though the high chair doesn't look as cute)

This picture kills me! I love it when she makes that face :)
