8 months

 This crazy girl is 8 months old and becoming quite active and is so cute. I really like this age because she is so fun to play with. During our "month picture" photoshoot, we can no longer stick the tag on her since she takes it off immediately and tries to eat it in 2 seconds.

 This little ham is turning into a trouble maker...just look at that face above.

 Aubrie has recently developed a love for her baby doll and gets so excited when she sees it. She spends a long time analyzing her face and eating her hands. She got this cute new church dress for Easter, but she was too sick to go to church that week.

 I can't believe how quick babies grow...this was just at Christmas time and she could barely see the toys on her bouncer.

 Now she stands over the top of them all and I even had to raise the bouncer since she is so tall. She loves to stand and has very strong legs and good balance.

At 8 months Aubrie:
- Has had no more ear infections!!!! Yay for a little more sleep!
-Is such a mild mannered baby and will be so content playing on the ground with her toys (as long as she can see you)
-Loves to eat her "baby mum mum" rice crackers and cheerios
- Tried avocado but didn't like it too much
-We had to lower her crib since she is getting too big and pulling on her mobile
-She got "big girl" carseats this week put into the cars (they are a pain in the butt to install!)
- Loves going on walks in her stroller and kicks her little legs the entire time
-Is growing more and more hair on the back of her head and its coming in dirty blonde and wavy
- Loves saying "da da da"
- Gets really excited when she sees any cats and loves pulling their hair any chance she gets
-Has her baths in the regular bath tub while still in her pink tub since she splashes so much and gets to wear her stylish pink and purple ear plugs.

 We are still busy working and trying to find time to play... lots of fun vacations to come this summer. Jeff and I have started Weight Watchers which is definitely a change in diet but do-able. Jeff lost 7 lbs and I lost 2 the first week. We are hopeful we can be motivated to become healthier..I definitely feel a lot better.
