I'm ok with 8 months. But 9 months? I may have another melt-down like I did when you turned 6 months old.
Daughter, you are so amazing. You are easily the hightlight of my day =) Here is what you're up to!
You sleep each night from about 8:00 or 8:30 (we've been letting you stay up later lately) till around 6:00 or 6:30 in the morning. Occasionaly you wake up in the middle of the night but not too often. You drink 4-5 6 oz bottles of milk a day and eat 3 little meals. You like to eat - that hasn't changed! You're wearing size 9 month clothing and are in a size 4 diaper. You probably could have stayed in the 3's a little longer but I went ahead and switched you.
Your favorite toy BY FAR is the tv remote control. Not officially one of your toys but you love it. And daddy gives in and lets you play with it. You also like a new toy you got: a Noah's ark complete with little animals. We make each animal's sound and everything! Except for the giraffe...I'm not too sure about that one.
You're getting a little more hair on your head and you still have just the 2 bottom teeth that are stinkin cute. You are so close to crawling it's not even funny. You have your own version of a scoot and drag that gets you where you want to go and you also will get up into the crawl position and rock back and forth. Just this past Sunday while I was gone getting groceries, you decided to pull up on the couch into a standing position for dad! You did it for me too when I got home but then fell back down. You're learning :)
You are jabbering and have said the "ma ma" sound but you're not directing it at me yet. I can't wait to hear you say that FOR REAL :> Everyone says you are changing and growing so much ~ Your babysitter, the church nursery ladies...it's so fun.
Lately when I give you your bottle just before bed, you are SO tired from playing and I'll set your head up on my shoulder like when you were "little." I'll rock you for a few minutes, listen to your sweet breathing, and feel your soft cheek against mine. I want to capture those moments and hold on to them forever.!
We love you sweet daughter. Happy 8 Months!!!
**Note the shiny slobber in each pic...should have wiped her face ;)

Happy 8 Months Sweet Girl! You are so precious!
you have a beautiful daughter! in the picture where she's standing against the dresser, is she standing on her curled toes?! sydney started that way and then walked on her toes for several months! at her first real gymnastics class her teacher died laughing when sydney walked across the little balance beam on her toes.. curled :)
You have a daughter?
I have the most beautiful granddaughter ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aunt Leslie, yes, she will do that sometimes :) ha ha that is too funny about Sydney. I have actually thought that I would love to put Karlyn in gymnastics one day!
Thank you!! We are so blessed to have our girls :>

Happy 8 Months cute thang!
Liam says hi :)
Hi to Liam! ;>
I can't believe she is 8 months! And too cute. Love the tutu. :)
B does that scoot drag crawl thing too and then rocks in the crawl position. That just means they will be off like rockets before we know it. Ahhhh!
Nothing better then the feeling of rocking a little one to sleep. i love that part of my day with Calvin.That is...after he finishes screaming. He usually SCREAMS for a good 10 minutes on my shoulder before finally giving in to the sleep he so needs. Then, it's pretty priceless.
I know, just knowing the days are numbered where she'll sleep on my shoulder makes me give in for another 5 minutes :)
I know, then I won't get ANY rest! :>
