Wow. I feel like it was just the other day that I was writing the 7month post.. time is FLYING by!.
HattieJo,
You are 8mths old today! CRAZY, your daddy and I were just talking today about how we remember the day we went for the ultrasound to find out if you were a boy or girl and you had your legs crossed the whole time, so we left not knowing! What is funny is that you still will sit with your legs crossed in the floor, the stroller, or when you are laying down! You are really enjoying eating food these days. You have eaten applesauce, oatmeal, carrots, sweet peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, and bananas. You are "talking" all the time too! Its so funny to listen to you. You are saying "dadada" all the time as well. Although you did say,"mamama" first! You are enjoying being on your tummy more. However, when you are not in the mood for it you will quickly flip yourself back over. You like to rock on your booty when you are sitting up and you will even bend over in half to reach something.. maybe it won't be long and you will start to crawl. You like to stand up holding on to the toys on your exersaucer too. You reach for EVERYTHING! You love to chew on my cell phone and the remote control. You have moved up to the "big girl" carseat and you ride in the jogging stroller like a big girl now too! You have been given the name of the "social butterfly" and "smiley girl" from the nursery workers at church. You have 4 teeth on the bottom, your top 2 are half way in and then another one is breaking through on the side up top! Its so neat to see how you are changing each and everyday. You are so special. One day last week you came up to my school and one of my students said, "man, look at those thighs." You are one healthy, chunky girl! Mommy and daddy LOVE you so much HattieJo!
