I'm posting this and Rose is already over 8 months old. Time flies! She is really becoming her own little person as each month progresses. She gets frustrated/impatient when we make a bottle or prepare a sippy cup in front of her (so we've learned not to do this!). This also happens when we don't let her play with things like the remote control. She clenches her fists, closes her eyes, and lets out a mean little growl. Uh oh... Hopefully this is just a phase!!
She's also decided she hates being strapped in - the car seat, stroller and high chair. Well, too bad! I've found singing to her helps bring down the crabbiness. It's quite 'fun' trying to get out the door with a baby arching her back, crying and pulling her hands away...
She is also very sweet. Rose likes to tilt her head forward and touch something/someone with her forehead as a sign of affection. Occasionally she will do her version of a hug. Lately with a few colds she's had, she has tricked us into thinking we were getting a nice hug, only to find out we were just being used as a big snot rag. Ah, unconditional love. :)
Crazy to think this girl will be walking- soon! What happened to my newborn!? It goes way too fast.
8 Months
Clothing Size: 9-12 months
Milestones: Still practicing with the sippy cup and starting to tilt her head back to get water. Prefers standing over attempts at crawling. She is getting better at moving from left to right/right to left while holding onto something, without tripping up her feet. She started to do a 'real' crawl on 9/30/12. A big climber, she has also mastered pulling herself up and usually is able to sit back down- slowly.

This is the look of her 'growl' (thanks to her daddy for teaching this!)

Somewhere I have her photo with the elephant... When I find it, I'll add it to the end!
