8 Months!

I can't believe Aubrey is 8 months old today! I started crying last night when I was rocking her thinking about how fast she has grown. I know she won't be like this for long (as the Darius Rucker song states:) so I make a point to cherish and appreciate the everyday moments I have with her.
This past month Aubrey has been....

*Moving from laying to sitting up on her own.

*Crawling, right now she seems to prefer the scoot over the crawl. I don't know if its official crawling but its pretty darn close.

*Eating lots more foods (prunes, zucchini, avocado, oatmeal, apples, pears, potatoes, and apricots to name a few). I really enjoy making her baby food and knowing exactly what she is eating. My Aunt bought me the Beaba Babycook from Williams Sonoma and it is awesome! Its a steamer, blender, warmer, and defroster in one.

*Had her first cold (this was not very fun)

*Signing "Milk." At this point she uses the milk sign for anything she wants but I am excited that she is at least picking it up.

*LOVES playing fetch with Reba. She laughs and laughs and gets really excited about it. She has also learned how to pet Reba.

*Loves to dance with Mommy!

*Her favorite book is Llama Llama Red Pajama. Most books she loses interest in quickly (would rather eat the book) but for some reason this book keeps her eyes locked on the pages the entire time!

Here are a few pics I took today to mark Aubrey's 8 month birthday. She was all bundled up in her winter outfit and then had a poop explosion and therefore only has her winter hat on!

Thanks for cleaning me Mom, sorry for the mess!

I just love Reba (I think it might be her first word:)

See Mom doesn't always have something on my head!
