Do I Really Have an 8 Month Old!?

On Monday Lilah turned 8 months old!! I cannot believe that she's THAT close to being a year old. I've already started to talk and think about her 1st birthday!?! Crazy? Maybe...but I am a planner, so I've got to start sooner than later!

Here are 8 things that Lance and I love about our beautiful baby girl:

1. she is way too curious anymore to just lay around...she is crawling/scooching/rolling everywhere (but especially to all the things she cannot have - the computer cord being the #1 most favorite thing)
2. Lilah claps but it's very gentle and looks like the sign for "more" (her hands are closed instead of being open like a clap should be)...she does this with music, with our singing, and at random times when she is happy or proud of herself
3. she has the cutest and cheesiest smile now with 4 teeth!!! it makes me die laughing when she does her huge smile and then it's contagious - we're both then cracking up together for no apparent reason, other than she's the cutest
4. we both absolutely love it when we're holding her and she puts her face right up to our's and then buries her head in our face/head/chest and giggles....that's her way of snuggling and daddy especially loves for her to snuggle with him
5. she does this thing where she scrunches up her nose and then blows out her nose at you....she does it to everyone and thinks that nearly every person we encounter is there to either A. entertain her or B. be entertained by Lilah...please don't ignore her if we walk by you or she spots you...she does not like that :)
6. Lilah does this kind of "dance" where she bobs up and down. Lance loves it when she does it to the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" when he reads it to her at night time...it's now his favorite book for that reason!
7. daddy thought I should put that he loves it that she gets so excited when he gets home...she can hardly stand it until he holds her and whines until he comes to get her
8. Lilah is a talker! She's saying all kinds of "words" and talks to us and anyone who will listen and it's so fun. If I sing in the car, she'll "sing" too.

What a fun age...she is the most perfect little lady!
