8 months

8 months! 8 months old already!

Some of our favorite things about 8 months:
-PERSONALITY. She's sweet and sassy and knows who and what she likes. She'll smile at strangers when we're out and can give the sweetest shy smile followed by a dive onto mama's shoulder almost anywhere.
-Self-feeding. She loves to eat puffs, cheerios, and small chunks of food.
-We can see her little wheels turning when trying to do something. It's so fun to just be able to watch her figure things out.
-Taking big steps between toys. Walking is not too far off!
-Mimicking sounds. She'll squeal when I squeal, give sympathy cry sounds when other babies are crying, and even tries to say "hi" when we say it.
-Quick to learn. In a couple of minutes, she learned how to do her version of a high five. If you show her how to open and close something, she'll quickly follow suit and do it herself.
-Eager to please. She'll do just about anything to hear an enthusiastic "good job!"
-Sense of humor. Peekaboo is pretty hilarious and daddy's dancing makes her smile every time!









Shake, shake, shake!

She's so cute! Her little hair is really coming in too. I meant to ask you, where do you get her little white headbands that she wears her clips with? I am making flower clips for my cousin, and I am thinking of just buying the headbands. Yours seem to stay on so well! Your my test run on the flower clips, and you seem to get a lot of mileage out of them. They don't make many cute baby things for boys, so I'll just have to keep making cute stuff for Violet. :) Never hesitate to ask if there's something that you want me to make her.
