8 Months Old...

Grace is 8 months old today. She has really started to change in the last few days. More and more we can see that she understands us. She will clap on cue, give kisses, play peek-a-boo, and she is now learning to whine...especially when Mommy is around. She does not like to have other people care for her in the night. We tried a few days ago to go out to dinner and little miss pumpkin head cried for the entire hour we were gone. Sorry Papa and Meme. She has two little teeth in the bottom and is still eating mostly cereal and vegetables. She also likes to eat bananas and have a bottle with water in it (mostly to play with). Her sleeping is pretty much the same, two naps a day and a twelve hour stretch at night (with 1-2 wakings of course). Her hair is starting to fill in more everyday. She is also quite a talker. She is not really crawling, OK not crawling, but she does get around pretty good by scooting on her butt in a sitting position. She may be one of those bum crawlers. No rush though! She loves books, they are her preferred toy. She also loves to listen to music and "sing" while dancing (swaying back and forth). She truely brings more joy to our lives than we would have ever imagined. We thank God for her everyday!
