Adeline at 8 Months

Another month has gone by and our little Sweet Pea keeps growing.  She's starting to show some independence at this young age and is getting braver and braver as she moves around and works on her movability.  She's an absolute joy to watch and have in our presence.

Here's what she's doing now:

• She can now totally sit upright on her own.  She likes to do this if we put toys in front of her.  She does struggle to get out of the seated position once she gets bored of this. 
• She still "army crawls" everywhere.  And, I must say, she is pretty darn fast.  She hasn't figured out how to crawl on her knees.  She'll get up on her knees and rock, but she doesn't do anything past that.  
• I added fruits to her diet this past month and she definitely prefers veggies over the fruits.  She always gives me a sour face when I feed her fruits.  She eventually gets used to the taste, but she won't eat nearly as much of them as she will her veggies.  Sweet potatoes are definitely her favorite.
• She has developed the ability to pick up tiny objects with any part of the thumb and pointer finger.  She has developed extreme accuracy with this.  Her favorite things to grab are cheerios/baby puffs.  She can been them herself with those.
• She has more teeth.  She has one more on the bottom (making that 3 on the bottom) and one the top (one of her eye teeth).
• She still LOVES peekaboo.
• She loves songs with actions. . . "patty-cake" and "itsy bitsy spider" are favorites.
• She loves her dad's hair.  I guess the pokey texture is awesome, because when she touches it she bursts out into giggles.

She is as adorable as they come!  I know; I'm her mom so I'm biased, but I'm guessing you'll totally agree.  :)
