8 months old

There is NO WAY Stassi is really 8 months old...it's so crazy how FAST time flies by. Our baby girl is such a sweetheart.

Stassi at 8 months:
-She has a mind of her own. 
-She crawls all the time, but is learning how to find her balance when trying to stand. She will lift herself up with the help of an object and let go - she has balanced for about 5 seconds so far. 
-She likes to scream. She's not doing it as a tantrum but she likes the way her voice sounds. 
-She babbles SO much. And she doesn't just babble to babble. When she babbles she is telling you something and she expects you to listen. 
-She plays SO WELL by herself and with others. 
-She listens pretty well. She definitely knows what "no means" but chooses to ignore it sometimes (with a smile on her face) 
-She is a momma's girl. She still loves daddy of course, but for the most part she wants her mommy. 
-She is eating all kinds of baby foods and some solids. She LOVES bread. 
-We are working on the sippy cup, but she is choosing to not have much interest in it right now. 
-She loves her Disney. Especially Mickey Mouse clubhouse. 
-She says a few words: dada, dad, momma, mom, dog, hey, hi, and baba (bottle)
-She is very ticklish and laughs uncontrollably when she gets tickled. 
-If you ask her "where's the fishy?" She will crawl over to our fishbowl and her and daddy feed him together. 
-She loves her dogs but tries to bite them 
-Speaking of biting, everything goes in her mouth and that's probably because this little girl NEVER stops teething and already has 8 teeth. 4 on top and 4 on bottom. Our little shark. 
-She laughs when she sees that someone else is laughing. 
-She is such a happy baby. 
-She is strong. Seriously SO STRONG and it makes it hard to control her and where she's going sometimes. 
-She holds her bottle and feeds herself by hand. We are working on the spoon ;)
-She wakes up once, maybe twice a night for a quick bottle and goes right back to sleep. 
-She got her very first haircut and mommy cried. 
-She is pretty true to size. She fits in clothes 6-9 months. 
-She pulls off her socks almost always. 
-Lately she has been sucking and chewing on her toes like crazy. 
-She waves by opening and closing her hand. 
-She shakes her head no (we're trying to work on yes lol)
-She lifts her arms up in the air and tightens up her whole body to smile. 
-Whenever she hears music she starts dancing. 
-She has SO MANY facial expressions. 


I could probably name a million more little things, but overall Stassi is such a sweet girl. And is truly advanced for her age (per her doctor) - we are so pleased with how happy and aware she is. She brings so much joy to our lives and we just can't wait to see her grow more and more every single month.
