8 months already!









So our little baby has turned into a little lady overnight. These past two weeks have come with so many changes. One day I went in to get Joanna after her nap and she was sitting up on her crib. I was so excited that she learned to sit up. The VERY NEXT DAY she was STANDING in her crib! I couldn't believe how quickly she jumped to the next "stage". She is now pulling up on everything she can, standing at the coffee table like a big girl, pulling books of the shelves. It is craziness! And just this week she said her first word.. ."da da" of course. She is clapping her hands and beginning to mimic a few things. She is SO happy all the time. we really are incredible blessed with such a wonderfully natured child. I took her to the pool and dunked her under the water so she would get used to it. I thought for sure she would cry. Nope! She didn't even flinch! We did it over and over, and she never cried! I was so proud. We are enjoying every day with this little munchkin and love watching her learn and grow.

I can't believe she's doing all that! In my mind she's still a little three month old!! Her hair is great--I think to myself, "One more inch and it'll start curling all over the place." Either that or just keep getting higher and higher on her little head!! LOVE you guys and miss you!!!
