daphne @ 8 months.
it's true we can say that daphne is getting more fun with every month- but it would be a lie if we said parenting was getting easier as she has gotten older. (i'm sure mothers with teenagers are laughing at me right now) she just gets into EVERYTHING! we cleaned our house and tried to make everything daph-proof but it's still not.
@ eight months she loves to:
EAT! finallllly! I can say our baby is getting to know and like food! She doesn't act like everything she tastes is a pickle anymore- it's great! she has been eating oatmeal, garden vegetables and one day she devoured 1/2 can of her gerber cheese puffs.
(she also still loves to eat binkies. and sideways binks taste the best)pull herself up to everything. about a week after she started crawling, she was done with it. well, she still crawls, obviously- but only to get to furniture or walls she can climb. yes, she climbs walls. it doesn't turn out very well, but still- she tries it. we had to move our beloved record player/coffee table into another room because even with the ugly corner protectors, she still fell and hit her head on it like 17 times each day. Now we just have the white ottoman and she can move between the ottoman and the couch. it's adorable.
standing is so fun!her johnny-jumper. she responds with a few bounces when we tell her to JUMP! it's cute.
sign language. we LOVE the baby einstein sign video. it buys us a lot of time :) plus daphne is starting to pick it up. she can say mommy and daddy with signs (she did it consistently for about 2 weeks and now she's stopped- we hope she does it again! we love it.) and she now signs "milk" to us when she's hungry for a bottle. even though its just a little thing- we love being able to communicate with her a bit better. she also waves hi and goodbye. the other day on our walk she waved hi to all the cars as they drove past, i about died.
going on walks. she stands up in her stroller holding onto the front bar for the entire time. she acts like she is leading the way- so funny
(this has nothing to do with walks, just a random image of a cute outfit :)no teeth yet (though she's been waking up once during the night which we like to blame on teething) but we'll see about next month...
i think she weighs about 17.5 pounds, 27 inches tall.
we LOVE you daphne!!!

Yes, as a mother of a teen, I am laughing at you right now. But I am also laughing WITH you, as you describe all the cute little Daphne-isms. Some take me back to the time when mine were that little, and some are all her own. That baby sure is cute.
Happy late birthday, Nic!
Daph, darling, tell me where you shop. You are beyond hip and cute. Kirsten, I love that you love being mommy. You know what I mean. That Daphne is one lucky, happy baby to have you and Nic as her people. Awesome.
where did that headband come from? it is made out of heaven!
