I am so terrible at doing these updates on time! Lil is already 9 1/2 months old and I haven't done her 8 month or 9 month updates. So this will be a combo of both months, as best as I can remember. Part of the reason why I do these updates is so I will remember her milestones when she gets older but it won't help me much if i forget to do these on time! this picture was taken the day she turned 8 months. At the time she had 1 tooth that was fully out and one more coming in. Now she has 4 teeth total, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. Lil started crawling when she was 8 months, 10 days old and is now fully mobile - crawling everywhere, pulling herself up and standing and using things like our little kitchen stool as a walker. Her new favorite thing to do is to hold on to something as she stands up, sits down and over and over again. She also likes walking on her tippy toes. She's still doing great with eating, although she now only likes to eat finger foods so she can feed herself. She's totally over anything pureed and will not eat any baby food anymore. She pretty much eats what we eat, which is nice. Her sleeping is still the same - 7 ish pm to 6:30 am and we've got our nighttime routine down. At 9 1/2 months, she can say mama and dada, roar like a lion (something she learned from her cousin, ike, who is 9 days older than her) and blow rasberries, all on demand. Her grammy taught her how to play peek a boo using her hand or blanket on our road trip from Montana to Spokane and she points (Bill Clinton style) at everything wanting to know what everything is. She definitely knows what she wants and will already put up a fit if she can't have it (kinda like her mama) and she always knows how to put on the charm when she's in front of a crowd (kinda like her dada). She is just so wonderful and we are so lucky to have her!
