8 Months

Felicity turned 8 months old last week and we haven't taken that "8 month picture" yet. So instead...enjoy:

She moves by crawling and cruising along the furniture, plays with toys, shovels everything in sight into her mouth, loves bath time, still sucks her thumb, does pretty well sitting through storytime or at a restaurant, naps are getting better/longer! Really only good news for Felicity this month. She's still fussy around suppertime and is beginning to have some Mommy-attachment/separation anxiety.

She loves food and it beginning to feed herself. It's messy but it makes her less demanding during meals.

Raspberries are delicious!

Mostly she's busy and knows her mind. Mommy and Daddy know now this is the kind of baby they produce. With parents like these, it seems about impossible to have a child who is laid back, who wants to be along for the ride. Remember how we said we're trying to train her to cuddle?? That was mostly a joke. However, one morning last week, Daddy left early for work, the older girls were still sleeping, and Felicity woke up. She and Mommy sat together on the couch for about 15 minutes. Felicity just laid still and sucked her thumb all cozy in Mommy's arms. Mommy soaked it in...

Sweet as sugar.
