8 Months! And 8 days...


It's been a fun month (and eight days) with the boohead!  She is currently cutting her second tooth, which actually isn't any fun at all come to think of it.  But, lately she's been laughing a lot, which is adorable and hysterical.  She squeals when we kiss her belly or her neck.  It's the best.  Let's see what else...she's getting really close to crawling!  She's up on all fours and can go backwards and in a circle, but I'm thinking she won't be going forward for another couple weeks.  She is an expert roller, though, which is super cute.  After her bath, we put her on the bed and she rolls and rolls and seems so proud of herself.  I think she likes the audience, too.  

Scarlett is happily eating solids three times a day now.  I've been making her food (carrots, sweet potatoes, applesauce), but most days she will only eat it if I add Gerber applesauce to it - even the applesauce that I make.  Those people at Gerber really know what they're doing.  If given a choice, Scarlett would eat Gerber applesauce at every meal.  That and Cheerios.  Oh, does my girl love her Cheerios.  Those little o's have become my nanny of sorts.  I give Scarlett a handful of them so I can do the dishes or change the laundry or shop for a little while longer.  It's a win win.  

Our boo is still a happy little one.  She loves people and she loves to kick her little feet!  And little they are - at eight months and eight days, Scarlett still fits into her 0-3 month shoes.  She may look a lot like her daddy's mama, but she sure has the feet of her mama's mama!

Oh, Scarlett, you are such a clever girl. I cannot believe that you are already moving just like Gigi...in circles. I love you.
