8 Months Old

Our sweet girl is 8 months old now!  Here is Elise at 8 months:
  • Got her first tooth this week!  (Update: A few days later, another tooth!)
  • Wearing 3-6 month, 6 month, 9 month, or 6-12 month size clothing, depending on brand
  • Can only wear dresses for short periods of time (i.e. church), as they are not conducive to her active lifestyle (she gets all caught up in them when crawling)
  • Loves to go to the Stanley playroom and crawl around and climb on the soft toys there
  • Starting to grow back her hair
  • A bit of a screecher (Teething, or copying big brother??)
  • Pulls up and stands leaning against something or holding on with one or both hands
  • Walks holding onto our hands, but still wobbly
  • Can climb up stairs...thank goodness we don't have any!
  • Takes 2 naps a day (unless she wakes up super early, then 3)
  • Has tried lots of different baby food purees and is now working on finger foods
  • Dances to music occasionally (super cute!!)
  • Loves to play with Finley's toys more than her own
  • Will let us dunk her underwater in the pool without crying
  • Can clap



 So hard to get them both to look and smile!

Sweet potatoes and asparagus.  Serious business.

And just for fun, here is a flashback to Finley when he was around 8 months
