8 Months!

To my beautiful girl on your eighth month of life,
Never did I think that my life would be this great, this wonderful, this fun. I thought I had it pretty good all those years before you were here. Nothing compares to being able to play with you, look at you, teach you, or just to be with you. You are so funny, your sense of humor is just like your dadda's. You are so full of personality. It has been over a month since you learned to crawl, I wait for you anyday now to just take off walking. You pull yourself up and stand with just a little bit of your body (most of the times your belly) up against something. You use a play table to push across the floor as you walk behind it. You can stand on your own for just a few seconds before you fall. You look to us to determine whether your should cry or just crawl around and smile, you choose to smile. You are so big and able to do so much. You love to crawl from the living room into the kitchen and look back at us because you know that you aren't supposed to be doing that. You squeal when you see the cats anywhere and if they happen to be in the floor you crawl to them and pet them. I never imagined our cats would love you the way that they do. You did a lot of fun stuff this past month, you went to a wedding, saw Chandler play baseball a couple times and went to your first water park with granny and pap. You are definitely special because when I was young pap never took me and Aunt V to the water park :) You wave bye bye with force now and raise your hand to point, most of the time with four fingers. I think it means you like something, daddy thinks you just want to touch whatever it is we have. No teeth yet, but I can tell that they are coming. I know I've thought that for awhile but now you can see them in the front, but still not on the top. There is an old wives tale that the longer you take to get your teeth the stronger they will be. I sure hope that is the case with you. You are just too precious for words and believe it or not work days go so fast now since I have you to go home too. You and dadda have started to play wrestle. He pins you, then you crawl on him and pin him, laughing the entire time. A lot of times the two of you end up getting into mischief. Daddy built you a swing so that you can finally swing in the swing granny and pap got you for Easter. It didn't turn out like dad expected but it works and you enjoy swinging. You are lucky, like I was to have a handy dad. I had a handy mom, you didn't really end up with such a handy mom but I try. You are still the friendliest baby around, people come up to you everywhere we are, in the mall, at a restaurant, in Wal-Mart and talk to you. Most of the time you look at them but sometimes you babble back. Almost always you will wave when they turn their backs, haha. Momma is still nursing you, something she didn't expect to be doing for this long but is so glad that she is able too. I love the time we have together, it is something I will never forget. You are still eating the same old baby foods along with your milk, but momma tries to introduce new things. You tried a lemon and granny gave you some cheddar biscuit from Red Lobster. This past weekend pap let you try five different flavors of popscicle. You are most definitely one spoiled little girl and it is only going to get worse. We are so lucky to have you and for you to be ours. You were definitely worth the wait, my sweet and silly girl. You make mommy and daddy better people everyday.

WE LOVE YOU!!!!
