8 Months Already!

Emerson is now 8 months already and I have to say, this last month she has probably hit the most milestones yet. We saw her start to push up onto all 4's, which turned into crawling backwards, then taking one lunge forward, and now, watch out, she is on the move. Another thing she has mastered is being able to go from the laying position to sitting up on her own. It is strange to go into get her out of her crib and have her sitting there like such a big girl. We are still working on the sleeping. For the most part she will go for a stretch of 8-9 hours, feeding then sleeping for a couple more. Also, two teeth finally came through on the bottom. Now when she flashes us her sweet smiles, she has some added accessories. Another thing is that she is slowly starting to eat table food, bread, peas, green beans, cheese and bananas. So far she hasn't found a food she hasn't liked. Finally, she is starting to "talk", saying Ba-Ba and other one syllable words. As always, she is still Rilyn's biggest fan, it doesn't take much for her to laugh at anything her big sister does. Each day is something new and exciting, although it doesn't seem possible she can be nearing her 1 year so soon!

Now that Emerson is getting so big, she has figured out new ways to use her toys! :)

She is strapped in, just hanging out.
