February 21st - Everly turned 8 Months
I can't believe how fast this baby learns. Since the last post (a month ago) she has rolling down to an art.
She is army crawling all over the place.
She loves finding new things! Such as things she shouldn't play with.
I have come to the realization that our house needs baby proofed, and fast!
When she is sitting she can pull herself up on to her knees or standing.
I caught her sitting on her knees and playing with her books on the bookshelf. It was pretty cute. It was funny to find out she could stand too. We were putting up her decorations in her room and Ryan sat her in her crib and we both turned around and I asked Ryan if he stood her up, and he said no. We both just giggled. It was really cute.
She can wave hi and bye bye (those are two different waves). And when she waves bye bye she says "Babababab...".
She says Momma and Dadda. It's hard to know if she knows what each of those are, but she says them both often.
I forgot to mention in the last post, but she loves saying "liggle". It's less often now, but it's the cutest little language I have ever heard. And so I started singing Mary had a 'Liggle' Lamb to her. And she loved it. My sister got her a sweet little lamb stuffed animal and we named it Liggle.
She gives great big hugs, but doesn't like to snuggle. I have made my peace with it. The hugs make the no snuggling worth while.
She loves when I pop my head out of random places. It gets her every time. I don't even say anything. She just spots me and starts laughing her big belly laugh.
She also laughs when I dance. I guess when I think about it, my mom and sisters laugh when I dance too...
She eats all kinds of stuff now. I won't name them all. But a bunch of fruit and veggies and she can now gum food too. Like cheerios. She has a really sensitive gag reflex. if it gets too close to the back of her mouth, she'll throw everything she just ate up. This happens quite often. Lots of times if she coughs a little too hard she will throw up too.
Got a new high chair! She looks super cute in it. She was using the one my grandma had when she was a baby. It's wood and the paint is all chipped and I had to tie her down with an old belt. The arms of that chair were kind of low and she would bend her body over it. Made me nervous. Plus it was hard to clean. It's good that we have a chair with straps and a tray now. I love my grandma's but I love it more as decoration.
I was feeding Everly her dinner and she randomly screamed. It scared me so much that I jumped really hard. She thought this was the funniest thing, and could not stop laughing. She was laughing so hard she was turning red. She may look like her daddy, but she's got her mommy's sense of humor.
