Creepy Crawling Baby!





I
can't believe Grace is eight months old already. I feel like I've missed so much I should have written about. Never too late to start though - right?!

Grace started crawling on July 1st - her 8 month birthday. She had been scooting around for a couple weeks, then on the first, it clicked. She was off! She's so determined as she seeks her destination with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth - it's so funny!!!

I HIGHLY reccommend "Baby Legs" for when your baby starts crawling. Doesn't work real well on the tile - but on the carpet it keeps her from getting rug burns. You can find them at any specialty baby shop.
She's talking so much more now too. She calls me from her room at night when she wakes up and wants me to come in her room. "mam maa mamma ma ma" and when she sees Daddy - it's like she knows what she's saying! "da da da da da"

At dinner the other night we had her intently waching us as we were all telling her "I love you" she was really trying to copy our sounds. So precious. She really is the sweetest thing. Such a cuddler, I love it.

Yesterday, she decided to get up on her knees and pull herself to standing on her Leap Frog activity table and then walk all the way around it! She loves opening and closing the little latch that's on there and turning the pages of the book. She'll stand there for at least 15 mintues doing that.

can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
