Eight Months

Holy cow- eight months! We are seeing more and more personality from Avery and we love it- she sure has some strong opinions sometimes! Some things I want to remember about her at 8 months:
-size 3 diapers
-wearing all 6 month sized clothes
-has a tooth! It came in on the 17th
-talks a lot- trying to get her to say 'mama' :)
-busy, busy, busy- forget sitting still even for a second (this makes church real fun!) she is crawling, wiggling and moving everywhere, she is trying to stand up but doesn't have the hang of it
-squeals and talks when she sees her puppies, she has also started opening her mouth when they lick her face- totally gross because then they lick her mouth
-loves water, we take her swimming at the hotel and we've taught her how to splash- we'll probably regret that later
-loves to eat! Sweet potatoes and bananas are probably her favorite but she also loves cottage cheese, apples, pears, avocado, and squash
-likes to play in front of the mirror
-huge flirt!
-she gives me 'kisses' by grabbing a chunk of my hair and pulling my face to hers with her mouth wide open
-still an awesome sleeper at 12 hours a night but she has stopped going back to sleep in the mornings- she sleeps from 630-7pm to 630-7am which is great during the week but I really liked sleeping in on the weekends. Oh well.
-weighs 18.5lbs and is about 27.5 inches long

Here are her 8 month pictures- it was really hard to get any good ones!
