Alright Taylor, let's take a look at what you are like at 8 months old!
Taylor is:
* Wearing 9-18 month clothes, mostly 12 month sizes
* Eating "solid" foods 2-3 times a day, including pureed fruits and veggies (some fun combinations such as apple butternut squash, peach mango raspberry, carrot tomato, etc.), pureed organic meat (still seems sort of gross to me, but she likes it!), yogurt, oatmeal, and she has just started getting down the chewing motion, so we have started with some small pieces of toast and gerber puffs
* No teeth yet! :-)
* Going to bed around 7-7:30 (without a peep 99% of the time!), sleeping 9-10 hours straight, nursing, then sleeping another 1-2 hours, getting up around 7am
* Clapping regularly and waving sporadically
* Giggling
* Chattering with lots of ba-ba's, da-da's, ma-ma's, la-la's
* Splashing like crazy in the bathtub, this little girl is not afraid of the water - I think she would stay in until her whole body is a little prune! :-)
* Continuing to make movements towards crawling, but her progress is slow... this little girl is going to do things on her own time! She will launch from a sitting position onto her hands and knees, or hands and tummy, and then get stuck there
* Can stand fairly well with little support, and loves to pull herself onto mommy or daddy's legs or lap when we play on the floor with her
* Loves being read to from her little books
* Is getting better at riding in the car, fewer total meltdowns, which is nice for mommy and daddy!
* Plays very intently with her toys, making LOTS of noise when she is excited!
* Smiles great big smiles for people she recognizes, especially mommy when she gets picked up from daycare in the afternoon (along with some excited arm flapping) and daddy when he gets home from work
* Is doing really well at daycare, and they have such nice things to say about our little girl!
We have our 9 month appointment at the end of November, and it will be fun to see how much she has grown!

Helping out with laundry
Boxes are lots of fun!
Loving on her big monkey
Lots of smiles
Concentrating hard
Thumbs up! I like standing on my own!
Love this little face - those big blue eyes - full of wonder - the definition of innocence
