8 Months Old!

Every month that goes by the more I am amazed at my little girl. She is growing more and more and learning so much at the same time. Rachel is getting heavier, longer, and filling out her outfits a lot more. She is a champ at sitting and it getting more and more adventurous in her rolling around. She is starting to put herself in the crawling position a lot more and gets frustrated when she can't get to where she wants. I have a feeling that she will be crawling all over the place in the next little while.


I love watching Rachel play, she seems to be entertained by anything. She found some old slippers and now they are one of her favorite things to play with now. She also has a favorite stuffed lamb that she got from her Granma Roggasch and has to have it with her all the time. She'll throw a fit if I take it away from her too soon.



Rachel has become so talkative, she says "mama" all the time, she uses it for everything. I still don't know if she knows that I am "mama" but I love hearing her say it. She has a new thing that when she is sitting a playing, if she's super excited, she bang herself against whatever, mainly the couch or me and say "ba" every time she hits. Makes me smile.

I love my little girl. I love watching her grow up and learn.

She has a new fascination of pulling off her socks, I guess she didn't want to wear one. I love watching her sleep, so peaceful. The little sore is from a snack she had. She has started eating the Gerber Puffs and Yogurt Melts really well. I think one got stuck to her wrist and caused a rash, she uses her whole hand to feed herself.

You have to have a good crying picture at least once. She wasn't too happy with me. I think it's cute.

Well, that's about it. Right now she's thoroughly entertained by "Noggin", I think she's going to fall asleep on the couch watching it. Too cute.
