8 months

Miss Megan is 8 months old. Here's what's new:

She is moving and grooving! She scoots, army crawls, rolls, pivots, and does just about everything she can to get from one side of the room to the other. She gets up on all fours and does crawl too, but usually it is just a few motions and then she goes back to what is easier for her. However, I give it a week and she will be fully crawling.

She weighs 15lbs.

She loves the remote. I remember Kelsey going through this phase as well. We have an extra one that we have taken the batteries out of for her. She also likes to crawl to the carbon monoxide detector on the wall. She gets all the way over there and then I am the meanie who picks her up and moves her away. What is it about those random objects?

She shakes her head when she doesn't want something. When she is finished eating, when it is time to take her medicine, when I go to put on her jacket.

She can wave. It is more like a full arm swing, but she seems to do it at the appropriate times of someone leaving.

She has developed some stranger anxiety, even with family we see a lot. Poor girl gets so scared and let's out the saddest little cry.

She loves the tags on things. Oh, and rags. When she is in the bath, she loves to gnaw on the rag and let's us know she is upset when we take it away.

She makes lots of noises. Mama, Dada, and then a lot of mmmmm, ahhhhhhh, ohhhhh, :)

She still adores Kelsey. Kelsey comes by her and she lights right up. Love it!

She responds to the sound of her name.

She looks SO much like Kelsey did at this age. Their baby pictures right at this age are almost an exact match!

She likes to grab hold tight of things. When I have my glasses on, I have to be ready because she has ripped them right off my face.

No teeth yet. I have thought they were coming for awhile, but the wait will just have to continue. Come on toofers!

Our baby girl is so precious to our family. We love watching you grow and change.
