8 & 9 Months!

8 Months:

Sitting up

Rolling over

Drinking water from a sippy cup

Eating pretty much anything mommy will feed her.

First kitchen sink bath. She was mesmerized and smiley!

Army crawling everywhere!

9 Months:

Still waking up almost every night, except for the past week.  She has slept through the night more consistently in the past week! 

Army crawling. But getting up on all fours and rocking.

Eating great!

Serious face to most strangers.

Third tooth has arrived!

Loves mimicking sounds, especially in the car!

Birthmark has significantly darkened over the summer.

Lights up when she sees Daddy.

Really attached to Mommy.

Cries at nursery drop off every.single.time! And when I pick her up.  How dare I leave her!!

Can take a bath in the big tub sitting up!

Waves and says an airy "Hi."

Claps her hands.  And claps as soon as you begin singing "If you're happy and you know it."

Dances when I sing "If you're happy and you know it."

Lifting up on my legs when I am sitting down on the ground with her. 

Loves when I play Peek-A-Boo.  She laughs her way through it!

Tooth #3, Tooth #4, and Tooth #5 have come in!  (Mommy was soooo thankful this finally happened! These teeth have been a big source of pain for Emerson!)

Is able to get back into sitting upright from crawling position on her own.
