B turned 8 months old on January 24th.
She started crawling on February 3rd. For weeks before that she would get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but she would face-plant any time she tried to make a forward movement. Now there's no stopping her! Nothing is safe. She finds the most obscure little pieces of fuzz, string, and dog hair on the floor and gets to them so fast. We've had to remind ourselves to make sure the baby gate is closed - something we haven't had to do in over a year.
As you can see from the above photos, learning to crawl is exhausting ;)
The third photo here pretty much sums up how we all felt trying to take this months pictures. Now that B is mobile, she wants nothing do with sitting still for a picture. As soon as I sat her down, she was getting herself in crawling position, ready to scoot away from the camera! So much for my easy, cooperative baby! Now I'll be chasing both of them around the house with my camera trying to get just one good shot!
Here's what B has been working on this month:
1. She is CRAWLING! She gets everywhere she wants to go and gets into everything she wants to touch.
2. She says 'baba' and 'mama'. We're working very hard on 'dada'.
3. When she gets excited or very happy she claps! It's one of the cutest things ever!!
4. Her diet has really expanded over the past month or so. She's eating puffs and yogurt, and her favorite dinner is spinach, peas, & pears. Yum!
5. There is some serious separation anxiety/stranger danger happening with her lately. Hopefully this is just a phase, because we can't even leave her in the church nursery lately without her crying so much that they call us down to pick her up!
6. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING goes into her mouth. Some babies start to outgrow this by now, but B will plop anything she finds into her mouth to see if it's worth playing with or not.
