Callie at 8 months

On Sunday, May 9, our baby girl turned 8 months old!!!
Callie is a busy, busy girl! As soon as you put her down, she almost immediately goes straight to all fours. She's crawling... well, sort of :) About a week ago, she figured out she could move her knees & hands while on all fours. She started out moving about 2" at a time before falling on her tummy... now she's up to about 6". Don't underestimate her! If she fixates on something, she's going after it with everything she's got!
She gets frustrated with it all, too. If she can't get what she wants, or it gets taken away from her... woo-hoo! She lets you know she's UN-happy! Callie rode in the grocery cart this week for the first time (not in her car seat). She could not keep her hands off of the groceries! She was grabbing everything she could get her hands on. And when I moved her hands away & tried to distract her with her toys, she was having NONE of it! Oh, my!
In these pictures, Cade thought he could move his toys away where she couldn't get them. Ha! She just followed along right behind him! It took her a little longer, but she got there!
Callie is eating well. She likes most all of her baby food (except green beans & peaches), and she's done okay with the few bits of "big people food" we've mashed up and let her try. She LOVES tea, and sipping out of a straw!
Callie is a good sleeper, too. Even when she wakes up early, she plays in her bed until we get her. This outfit is evidence of all her "wiggly-ness"! Her legs are sometimes hanging out of her clothes... with them still snapped up!
I don't know if you can tell from any of her pictures, but her little hair grows & sticks up like a mohawk. Poor thing! It WILL grow, baby! She's still a cutie, nonetheless!!!
