8 months

I almost started crying just now when I realized that my tiny baby is 8 months old! She is so much fun these days. I can just sit for hours and watch her discover the world. Every single little face she makes is adorable to me. I decided to make a video of her because I couldn't choose just a few photos, and like I said EVERY face is precious to me {yes even the 'closed eyes' ones}.

A quick list of Livy {or evie as her cousins call her} at 8 months
-still loves to just stare at her hands while moving them and opening and closing her fingers
-can spot microscopic items on the floor and 'scratch' them with her finger
-likes to eat paper
-learning to wave and clap! and dance :)
-officially mobile. crawls all over. to my surprise I love it!
-can pull herself up
-loves to stand {supported} more than sit (but that's not really anything new)
-favorite playpen=bathroom sink
-loves to get into mommy's jewelry {and eat it}
-likes carrots and pretty much anything orange
-tolerates green beans/peas {barely}
-LOVES apples {all of this is mashed food btw}

In honor of all her big milestones {crawling, pulling up, clapping, waving, dancing} I chose the song Big Jumps by Emiliana Torrini

*also, the ipod she's chewing on in the video is already broken, hence us letting her chew on it.

Happy 8 months Evie girl!

best dressed 8 month old baby I've ever seen. She ALWAYS looks so cute, especially in the sink. Thats a clever move, especially if you need to get ready. Hopfully it occupies her for atleast 10 minutes at a time haha. Cute video! What a good mom you arE!

She is so sweet! I love your tender pictures and thoughts. I feel the same way about my little man. I actually am going through and starting his 2 yr 'scrapbook' (I do it through blurb) and there are so many pictures of the same thing but I just love each of them and can't stand to delete any of them. It's gonna be a big book :)

I love how most of the shots are in the sink! Brilliant! She's is getting so big. I feel like I haven't seen her in forever.
