let me just tell you baby girl how much fun this past month was. it was like when you turned 8 months you thought "i am gonna do some new things!" you got your first tooth right after turning 8 months and a week later you got the other one. i love looking at those little bottom teethers!
you continue to be so super sweet! we traveled a lot this month and you were a trooper. slept well, no melt downs, people commented on what a good baby you were on the plane. the best! i am no longer super fearful of traveling with you.
you want to crawl so so bad. you get up on your knees and rock. we are just waiting on that day. take your time...mommy needs to get some more baby proofing done! you can say da da but we think you have only said it once in reference to daddy. now you just need to get your m's going for ma ma!
you are now a pro at feeding yourself. i have to get creative with things to give you that will still be easy to chew for you. some favs are puffs, yogurt melts, green beans, avocado, banana, peas, and blueberries. i gave you some waffle today and you loved it. you favorite purees are pears, carrots, prunes, cauliflower. you will eat pretty much everything but def prefer to fed yourself.
i can't wait to take you swimming this summer as bath time is one of you favorite things. books are probably your absolute fav thing to do in the day. you are getting into play dates too and adore other babies. we have to get more of these going for you. you love hanging on the porch and watching the cars drive by.
this week you are dealing with some separation anxiety during night time. i let you cry out for 5 mins and go in to rock you. you work yourself up in such a short amount of time it is so sad. but that little rocking time we have seems to help you so much. i love this time as you have always been a put me in my bed, no rocking type of baby. i kinda warms my heart that you miss me. the other day while someone was holding you you reached out for me! ahh the best!
everyday you help me be a better person. you mean so much to me little girl. thank you for letting me watch you grow and learn. being your mommy is the only life i want!!
xoxo, ma ma

I loved 8 months too! You are definitely right to request a delay in crawling! It's super fun to have your baby be so mobile but Joel is into everything (I think that is partly because of his "gotta get into trouble" personality though - like right now he's trying to eat toilet paper which is his new favorite thing- ha). It's also great she feeds herself so well! Joel hates being fed now so I've been the same way with brainstorming finger foods. Bananas are definitely his fave! And I'm glad you have that rocker time! Joel has never gone to sleep on his own without coaxing and we start in our bed. It's always my favorite time because it's the only time he's snuggly. :) If we lived near each other we'd have to do a play date! Joel doesn't have any babies his age around except for those in the nursery at Church, but we just started there, so I don't know their parents yet!
