This sweet girl is now eight months old. Caroline amazes us every day with her focus, energy, and growth. At eight months, she is a super fast crawler--so fast in fact, that I can never get photos of her because she comes at me too quickly! Caroline also pulls up on everything and is cruising along. She'll take a few steps toward John, Daiane or me, but she still has no idea what she is doing (she dives at us in the end). She can usually balance on her own while standing for 5-10 seconds before she gets distracted and topples over.
Her mobility also scares me to death! She has no issue heading to the end of the bed or the top or bottom of the stairs, and given the fact she grabs everything in her reach, we've had to be extra cognizant of what is around.
Our month-by-month photo shoot was therefore nerve-wracking. Thankfully John was close by.
Caroline continues to eat everything in sight. Her most recent discovery is hummus. She loves hummus, one of the messiest foods ever (esp. when it dries!). She also had a meat dumpling last night. Loved it.
Caroline claps and dances. It is adorable. She has three teeth and will have a fourth in a week or two. She shyly puts her head on my shoulder when she meets someone or hasn't had a chance to warm up to them. After a few minutes, she is busily playing about like she's seen you every day.
Her favorite toys are the loud plastic "learning farm" walker, a purple plastic phone rattle, golf balls, and of course cell phones and remote controls. Below she is listing to her learning farm sing and fetching her rattle. She is starting to get into books. It will be fun when she snuggles in my lap and listens to me read her a story. That will happen right??
I cannot imagine what I'll have to update on in a month. So for now, I'm going to enjoy her little wobbly self and go stop her from crawling out the back door onto the deck of splinters.
xoxo
