8 months old!

So I'm a week late -- but at 8 months old Harper ....

  • Is officially crawling. She goes all over the house!
  • Pulling herself up to standing on anything she can -- so far only 2 casualties where I was scared to look at her boo boo, so far no permanent damage =)
  • Eating puffs & lots of baby food. She likes just about every kind except for bananas. I just started giving her little pieces of roll or watermelon.
  • Saying da da, although we still haven't decided if it's an official word since we aren't sure if she says it with meaning.
  • Going to bed at 7pm and waking up at 6am.
  • Weighs 21 1/2 pounds! Big girl!!
  • Her favorite show is Elmo's World on Sesame Street
  • I stopped nursing this month so she is exclusively drinking formula from a bottle.
  • She has 1 tooth.
  • Wearing just about all size 18 month clothes
  • Sleeping with her "lamby" snuggled close to her face & loves her pacifier
  • When we sing "Row Row Row your boat" she rocks back & forth - the cutest thing ever!
  • Just started pointing at objects (books, tv, toys)

She is just the most happy, snuggly baby ever & I love her more than she'll ever know!

New Years Eve

All dressed up ready to go out to dinner! I'm telling you this baby loves food! Even if she only has 1 tooth, there is no stopping her! Here she is trying to eat Jeff's jumbalaya.
The girls with their tiaras!

Getting ready to ring in the new year with Great-Grandma Moore.

Xmas Day!

For some reason these pictures all loaded in reverse order. This was the end of the night when Harper was getting ready for bed. Eating pinecones -- silly baby!
She loved her sesame st toys -- her favorite are cookie & elmo.

nothing like a picture in front of a palm tree on xmas -- note the short sleeves -- it was close to 70 degrees!

Playing with her new toys. Spoiled girl!
I can't decide if she liked the wrapping paper or the gifts more....
