I wanted to take Amelia’s 8 month pictures while we were on the Cape so we had to wait a bit past her 8 month birthday to do them.
She’s so mobile now. She’s found the cat’s water bowl (fun times), she’s discovered that pulling up on the bedroom door and making noises will get mommy up when she’s sleeping in and she’s removing things from the tops of tables. It’s so much fun seeing her move around, but it’s oh so challenging to keep her from climbing on the dishwasher or from pulling up on the chairs in the kitchen where she’ll inevitably fall and bonk her head on the tile floor.
We’re baby proofing slowly and heading to BRU today to get a play yard for her. We have stairs and can’t affix a gate to them while we’re selling the house so we have to contain her somehow when we need to leave the room for a few minutes. Yes, we’re buying a baby jail.
Every month I think ‘wow, this is the best month yet’ and then the next one is even better. She is simply so much fun right now, so smiley and so giggly all of the time…ok, most of the time. The 3 hours of screaming on the plane on the way home don’t count. I’ll give her a break though, we got her up early that morning and she has 3 teeth coming in at the same time…ouch! You can see one of them in the sixth picture. The others are coming in on each side of that one.
First some sweet ones and then some goofy faces for fun. She liked exploring and eating Gramps’ grass.
