8 Months!

Today marks Sam's 8 month birthday.  :)  I will be posting pictures soon; I've truly been slacking.  But here's what our baby girl can do at 8 months.


  • she reaches up when she wants to be held
  • Dances by shaking her head and raising her arms
  • smacks her lips.  Sometimes when she's hungry, and sometimes just to be funny
  • She probably has the best facial expressions of any baby I know
  • scoots on her bottom to get anywhere.  She can now do it forwards and backwards
  • Does SOOO BIG!
  • Can tell us all done
  • Eats everything under the sun (seriously, she rejects nothing)
  • Says Mama (not as much anymore), Dada, bleh bleh for dog, and I'm sure other words I haven't figured out yet.
  • She is so proud of herself when she gets a toy she was reaching for that she holds it up until we acknowledge what she has, and then smiles really big!
  • She and Ben talk all day to each other.  
  • She cries in unison to Ben crying, usually a sympathy cry.
  • She fake coughs if she wants your attention
  • Has NO teeth!
  • Can now walk around like a champ (with help!)
  • LOVES to be standing

As you can see our baby girl is growing and learning every day!  We are so proud of her and we are so blessed that she is such a happy baby.  She went through a phase (growing? painful mouth?) where she was crying a lot and had Mommy and Daddy about ready to pull their hair out, but luckily (hopefully) its over!
