I'm 8 Months Old!

Millie is growing so fast. She has become quite adept at movement in the last month. We were in NC for three weeks and she mastered stair-climbing - up to 15 in one stretch. It took her about 15 minutes, but she did it without falling back at all. All of my siblings and my parents have staircases at their houses, so it is nice to be back in the land of ranch-style homes, where I don't have to worry as much about her falling down stairs. She has also started waving, which is very cute. Her Papa taught her how, and she basically holds up her arm and moves her wrist in circles - counter-clockwise. She even waved bye-bye to her Daddy when he tried to hold her after being away for 3 weeks. It was a sad experience; she cried for about 5 minutes and wouldn't let him hold her.

Her top front teeth broke through last week, which was a relief, because the poor girl had some major mouth pain. She has also recently learned to shake her head and thinks it's pretty cool, so she does it a lot. Luckily, she learned how to sit back down after pulling herself up a few weeks ago, so bed time is a much happier time! She is back to going to bed willingly and doesn't cry anymore. She rarely makes a peep after she goes to bed. I'm sure she will have future sleeping issues, but for now, all is well!

She loves all the food she has tried, with the exception of green beans. She will eat them, but she is not a huge fan. She LOVES peas. She is really starting to develop a personality and is becoming so interactive. What a cutie! She seems to be thinning out and getting taller. What do you think?
