9 months and a picture update

I'm behind- once again! What is wrong with me? There have been lots of changes/developments with Elise this past month it seems, so I will try to document them. 

• She is a tried and true booty scooter. Homegirl can really get around on that behind. Granted, she isn't very fast, but she can slowly get her way across the room if she wants

• While I'm not sure she will ever do a traditional crawl, she has been rocking on her hands and knees.

• She will pull up a little bit. She will pull all the way to standing while holding on to my hands, but she will only get about halfway up while holding on to other objects. 

• She is obsessed with my computer charger cord. You could dangle a toy in front of her face, but she would still go for the cord. Everytime. 

• She is such a copycat and tries to mimic everything we do. She even tries to sing with me sometimes.  She is saying mama, dada, and Ley-ley (although sometimes it comes out "la-la" or yey-yey").

• She is waving and clapping

• She finally has 2 teeth!

• She is just now able to tolerate yogurt melts and gerber puffs. She is still not really sure about them though. So obviously we have not ventured into table foods. 

• She is always so happy and just adores her brother. I could squeeze on her all day long!

I had to add a few recent pics - including some of Leyton.

outtake- I could eat her up

Eight Months!

I keep thinking eight months doesn't sound right. She can't be that close to one already. She is still just as sweet and precious as she was last month. She is constantly doing new things and learning new tricks. We are enjoying her so much.

• Scooting backwards. Nope we aren't crawling yet, just scooting. Somehow all she can manage is backwards motion.

• Clapping and waving. She is so proud of this and is doing it constantly.

• Standing up while holding on to something. She hasn't started pulling up, but she can hold her own when she has something to grab onto. 

• Babbling

• Her hair is starting to fill in, but we have yet to figure out her eye color. I'm guessing they will settle on hazel or green.

• She is started entering that phase which I know most babies do where she can't stand when I leave the room or have my attention elsewhere. 

• Still no teeth! They are right there though so I really think it will be any day.
