eight

my little sophie is 8 months old.

(even though she's closer to 9 months than 8 now. oh well.)

i think this is one of my favorite ages. she is so much fun to play with. she laughs and squeals, she's ticklish, she loves to play chase, and still has zero teeth. she is a daddy's girl for sure. she loves peaches and pretty much any fruit. she's not a big fan of the green veggies. she has gotten very good at picking up food and getting it into her mouth. sometimes that's a bad thing when she finds crumbs, carpet, strings, etc on the floor. she eats them all. she's very independent and loves to do things herself. sometimes she won't even let us feed her, it has to be things she can feed herself. silly. but she's sure cute and i love her personality.

sophie is getting so big and doing so many new things.

here is what she has been up to the last month.

i found soph in her crib like this one morning. i'm not sure how this happened. she loves to play with her bumper pads and she must have been playing and then went back to sleep. she was totally underneath it, half and half. she also likes to push down the sides and peek out to see if anyone is coming to rescue her.

soph's new favorite toy is a spatula. or anything that's not really a toy.

another favorite toy. sunglasses.

chillin in her carseat.

i also found her like this during her nap. she is so funny. i always find her in a different position every time i check on her. she moves SO much in her sleep.

silly girl.

she LOVES to stand and be a big girl. she thinks she doesn't need help and she will stand for a few seconds by herself.

so smiley. i love this smile!

in the morning, after naps, and coming home from work.

going from sitting to her tummy.

trying to crawl. you can tell how hard she's working by that toungue hanging out. she is doing a kind of army crawl all over the place. and she is fast! she pretty much gets where she wants to go army crawling and rolling.

she even rolled over to the cold air return vent and sliced her finger. she started crying a little bit and we couldn't figure out where the blood was coming from. it was on both hands and her mouth. she cried the most when we held her down to clean her up. luckily it was just like a small paper cut.

here's what else she's been up to....

the biggest blow-out of her little life. wow. it was super gross, but kinda funny, so we had to take pictures. we were sitting at yogo togo and i noticed something brown on her leg. i thought maybe we dropped some chocolate on her leg and it had melted. then i looked a little closer. yikes!

and of course she's smiling because she feels a million times better.

she was not so happy to lay on the bathroom floor and get somewhat cleaned up before she got in the tub. however, she was happy after!

runny nose and all...

she also LOVES her carseat. she doesn't particularly like getting in it, just playing with it. she loves the straps (to anything, really) and will play with them forever. she even tipped the carseat over on herself the other day and she didn't even care because she had straps to play with. so silly.
