8 months

i love...

applesauce, hummus, putting e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g in my mouth, bath time, endless attention from mom + dad, linda (at daycare), jumping, standing (with lots of help), "the itsy bitsy spider" - with hand motions, people watching.

i don't like...

my car seat (most of the time), formula, church, when mom + dad leave me alone, holding my own bottle, waiting, when prayers and books creep too far past 7:15 - because, bedtime!

i can...

put myself to sleep in my crib (hallelujah!), throw myself dangerously off mom + dad's laps, move from sitting to my tummy, stand (with wiggly hips, bouncy knees, and lots of support), roll towards anything i want, say "dada".

and it wouldn't be a month in review without the back-story - 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, and 7 months.
