A look at our 'peanut' in her 8th month..

| happily kicking away, even though suffering a cold on her "birthday" |

| saying "HI!" |
 |
| nobody has nothin on those rolls! |
Weight: I will say about 22.5 lbs, according to my very scientific way of weighing myself alone and then again while holding her. No doctor appointment till the middle of May, so no way to know for sure.
[Anna was 19 pounds, 6 oz.... catching up!]
Height: No clue, how are you supposed to measure a baby outside the doctors office??
Wearing: size 4 diapers, mostly 12 month clothes (with a few random 9 month items hanging on).
Likes: FOOD (all kinds. Puffs, cheerios, bites of goldfish crackers. I swear if I put steak in front of her she would eat it) Loves Anna, still. Loves when we clap and dance. Loves her sippy cup. Likes to pull glasses off your face. Likes to pull hair and grab noses.
Dislikes: when mom leaves the room. Does not like to wait to eat, when she's ready.. she's ready. Has been giving a hard time with sleep lately too, but again... everything is a phase.
This month she has started really waving in earnest. She gets what it is, and if you walk in a room she lights up and waves to you when you say hi! It's wonderful. I love her full body wiggle when she is particularly happy. If you are holding her and someone comes in the room, she wiggles and wraps her arms around your neck and hugs and wiggles around like "HOLY CRAP!" She has also really started clapping... or at least the basic motions of clapping. Anna gets a real kick out of it too, "Look Mommy! She claps!!!" - every time. It's sweet.
She has also gotten "pretty good" at feeding herself (or really, really trying to). Picking up puffs and cheerios all over the place, while only some actually get in her mouth. She is determined. It is obvious that food will be a good motivator for Allie! (duh)
Outtakes:
