Sweet Caroline: Eight months old!

Our beautiful little girl turned eight months old! She is such a blessing! She is starting to crawl, mainly just the army crawl. She has also pulled to stand on the coffee table a few times. Nothing is safe anymore! Her hair has gotten so long that she wears it in a ponytail most days to keep it out of her eyes. She is very vocal and talks all the time. She says mostly d, g and b syllables, but she has started with the m's. She also does a funny little whistle under her breath whenever she is playing. We got the awesome little invention of the net on a handle to put food in and she loves it. She likes strawberries, apples, ice and absolutely loved it when we put a pickle inside!

Thanksgiving was fun! We had it over at Jenne and Bryan's and it was a great day, so there was lots of playing outside.

Here are a few of her showing off her BIG personality!

She has a ton of toys of course, but we also love to play with the regular things around the house. She likes to take her bows and socks out of their basket and put them back in. When one of the Christmas presents came in the mail with lots of bubble wrap, we had tons of fun. I did most of my Christmas shopping on Cyber Monday, just like always, and she played great. She wanted to "look" at a pottery barn kids catalog and it looked like a dog had gotten a hold of it!

Our first Bedlam football game was disappointing, but we were still all smiles!

She definitely reacts whenever we get home from being gone. I walked in on a Saturday that I had to work all night before and she started clapping! It is so sweet!
