8 months old!

Our baby is 8 months old! I can hardly believe it! She's as perfect as ever, and happy as a clam! She still doesn't have any teeth, and I'm not going to mention them until they finally show up, because I've been saying she must be teething since she was 4 months old! Apparently, I don't know what I'm talking about! She has graduated to the next size of diapers and is still getting longer. Her hair is growing and I'm afraid I'll have to trim the back so she doesn't have a mullet. She's not crawling yet, but getting closer. She's pretty content to just lie on her stomach and watch everything that's going on, but she'll occasionally get her knees up under her. As far as sitting up goes, she can do it, but when she gets excited, she'll throw herself backward and then just laugh. Her favorite place to be lately is in her high chair, either eating or playing with toys. And speaking of eating, she can't get enough. If you aren't quick enough with the next bite, she will scream and let you know. She has never left food behind in the bowl and would probably keep eating if I kept giving her more, so alas, she has an appetite like her mom! We've started working with a sippy cup and she's getting the hang of it, but still just likes to chew on the spout. She is constantly making noises and loves to spit. We are seeing more of her personality every day and so far, she's just a happy, happy girl!
