Eight months

Well, our little girl is now eight months old. She and I took the traditional monthly pictures in her glider today. It's been a long while since I've done a "Faces of Emma" post, so here's one of those.

Here's one where you can see the newest tooth up on the top!

Emma's almost crawling, she's talking lots still (mostly "dadadadadadadadada") and she's reaching for EVERYTHING. She is so inquisitive and wants to hold or touch everything around her. I can barely change a diaper nowadays because she is so wiggly and tries to roll over despite my pleas to stay on her back. It is so fun to just plop her on her bum now because she sits so well and she's so content playing like that. Her favorite toys are still the jumper we hang in the doorway, the big frog that sings songs and the activity center (specifically the four little balls that fit into her hand so perfectly). She also has come to love the rainbow ring toy from Chrislyn (thank you again!) and waving around her "magic wands" (spatulas). She is still very sweet and always has a smile for anyone who pays attention to her.

Cannot believe only four months from now she'll be a 1-year-old.
