Eight Months

Dear Sadie,

Another month has flown by. I cannot believe we will be celebrating your first birthday in four months!

You are a sassy little thing. You get that from your dad. :)

You figured out how to sit up by yourself. You've hit your head a few times on your crib from playing around instead of sleeping.

You do a combination of rolling and army crawl to get where you want to go.

We're working on your first tooth and it's a joy. I say "we" because it's a joint effort.

You like to make your dad and me laugh. Sometimes you and I will look at each and start giggling. It is one of my favorite things ever.

I don't think you're ever going to get tired of sticking out your tongue. There has been a few times I think you're having a severe allergic reaction because you've kept your tongue out for so long.

We took you in the pool for the first time. You loved it! We're going to do swim lessons next month.

We took a break from solids because they were upsetting your stomach.

You love to drink water. You try to drink the pool water. YUCK!

You are ticklish on your tummy.

We celebrated Daddy's first Father's Day this month.

Daddy went to Texas for work for a few days so it was just us girls. You fussed the whole time.

Your hair is starting to grow and when it is wet it has some curl.

You kick your legs when you get excited and when you want something.

You are a little talker. I don't listen to the radio in the car because I enjoy hearing your little voice.

I feel like I am wrangling a baby alligator when I'm changing your diaper. It makes poopy diapers a lot of fun!

You do not like to sit still. It was hard to get a picture of you where you weren't lunging forward or moving your hands.

You are my precious little girl. I love you so much. You make me laugh and so very happy.

Love, Mom
