8 Months Old

Our Baby girl is getting older and growing so fast! It's amazing what she has accomplished in a month. I remember being so excited just to see her roll over and now she can sit up by herself, stand up by herself and can walk holding on to a stead surface! She's talking more and more every day. She even starts forming some words.....of course when she's tired and whining it's momma. She is such a Momma's girl. I can't do anything with out her......she is attached to my hip. If I walk out of the room she cries til I come back. She always snuggles up to me. Matt says, " Like Mother like Daughter." I am a total Momma's girl too. She is my everything and I will hate the day she is no longer my baby.

Sitting up by herself.

 

Peek a boo!! Every morning I walk into her room and she sits there making the cutest faces.

 

She can almost touch the ground. She can push herself backwards but not forwards yet.

 

Getting ready for another fun day at Mrs. Jenna's house!

 

Pool day!! Excited to play in the water.

 

Such a big girl sitting in the high chair and drinking out of her sippy cup. She actually chews on it more than drinks from it. She is such a good eater. She has fruit/oatmeal for breakfast, a veggie for lunch and her favorite dinner is either Turkey and sweet potatoes or mac n cheese! And of course she always gets fruit for dessert. She now has snacks in the afternoon at daycare too! She has puffs or yogurt bites with some juice.

 

Sun Bathing Beauty

 

She learned to clap and for three days straight that is all she would do and now, you can't get her to clap no matter how hard you try! Silly girl.

 

Checking out the beach. She was unsure at first. She would stand with one foot in the air and look at me like what the heck is going on. Now she loves walking the beach and splashing about. She especially loves when the boys (our dogs) run in the water back and forth and get everyone wet. (And no, I didn't plan the matching outfits, in fact, I just noticed them!)

 

Never fails, she always falls asleep in the stroller.

 Relaxing in her camping chair!

 

Helping Daddy cut the grass.

 

Being silly.

 

Trying on her shades for summer!

 

"Mommy's Sunshine"

 

Look at all those teeth!! She has 7 teeth! Almost one for each month. She's been drooling alot lately too so I'm sure there are more on the way!

 

Playing with her new singing Picnic basket!!

 

Standing up so tall. She pulls herself right up without any help.

 

Best friends.

 

Water play at Daycare!!

 

Playing with her buddy Brody.

 

Eating some puffs for an afternoon snack.

 

Caught red handed!! First thing she does when she gets to daycare.....dumps all the toys out!

 

Play hard, sleep hard. 

 

Playing in the sandbox!

 

It was Zoo week at Daycare and Charlotte was a Monkey!!

 

Getting into the toys again! She always has a devilish grin on her face when she digs in to the toys!

 

She got a new pair of big girl shoes! I figured if she's going to be on her feet and standing/walking around, she is going to have to learn to have shoes on. I though she would fuss but of course, she's an angel and she loved her shoes!

 

Such a big girl!

 

She had ice cream at Grandma & Grandpa LeClair's house and it was ICE COLD!! She loved it once it warmed up. LOL

She is growing faster and faster. I can't believe how fast it all goes by. We have so many fun events planned for this summer that I'm sure it will go by even faster!
