8 months old!

This is Reese at 8 months old. We have this picture in a frame and for a while now, okay since Maleah was a couple weeks old, Matt would walk by it and ask "How long until Maleah gets to be like that? I like that stage!" Well dear, we are finally there! :)



Maleah cut her first two teeth this month. She did pretty well. She still napped pretty good and slept fine at night. But during the day, she just fussed constantly. Nothing bad but it was different for Maleah who usually would just play happily. She needed more attention. And she has now learned that fussing gets her attention. So we are trying to work on that one. :)



Maleah also went swimming for the first time this month! She LOVES the water and LOVES watching Reese swim. It is hard to keep her from going under the water. So just this week I took her under twice. First time was perfect, second time she got a lot of water. But she was still having fun!



Maleah is moving now. Rolling and scooting all around the floor. Lucky we have so many toys that she stops to play pretty often so she doesn't get to far. Her new found love of moving made it harder to get this months photo.



Maleah also tried finger foods this month. After the first two teeth came in we started her with puffs. We give her half of one. She is pretty good a chewing, moving it all around her mouth, but she can not yet pinch it and get it to her mouth on her own. Soon though, and we are looking forward to the entertainment and independence that finger foods bring to meal time! :)

Maleah goes through phases of being more aware. She likes to now pull down the bumper in her crib and look out into her room, when she is suppose to be napping. :)

She is talking more. She does say "Dada" and will look for daddy when you ask her where he is at. So we think this is her first word. I do have two daddy's girls!
