8 months

Amelie turned 8 months old yesterday! I can't believe how time flies. It's crazy to think about everything she's accomplished in these first 8 months of her life.



What she's doing now:

• eating cereal, fruits & veggies
• sleeping about 11 hours every night [she's been doing this for a while… we know we are very blessed in this department!]
• sitting up
• standing up holding on to one hand or the couch or whatever she can grab
• rolling around everywhere!
• rocking on her hands and knees
• army crawling and scooting - mostly chasing morgan around the living room
• jumping, jumping, jumping, jumping………… !!!
• babbling "bah bah mmmbhaaaa" - she has DEFINITELY found her voice! it clicked 2 days
ago and all of the sudden we had this loud mouth daughter that talks all the time!
• and my personal favorite… gives kisses and hugs! she wraps her little hands around our neck to pull us closer and then plants huge 'kisses' on our faces. 9 times out of 10, it's on our nose. and when i say "on our nose", i mean, open mouth saliva up the nostrils so you have to blow your nose kind of kiss. it's gross and fantastic at the same time!

We go on walks to the park about 5 or 6 times a week which she loves! She loves to swing and sometimes if it's really hot, we play in the splash park.
 
She continues to melt our vulnerable hearts every day and she never ceases to amaze us. Praise God that we have a happy, healthy baby!
