Eight Months Old!

WOW! Mila is eight months old today! Where has the time gone?! She continues to grow like crazy. I weighed her yesterday on the baby scale and she is up to 17.5 lbs! Must be all the yummy food! This month she was introduced to peaches, pears, sweet taters, aspargus, blueberry applesauce, raspberry pear sauce, and carrots! She has really enjoyed everything except for the carrots. We are lucky to have a baby that enjoys her food so much! While feeding her she says "MMmmmmm!" after every bite! It's quite comical really! Mila has also started to army crawl, she will get up on her knees on the carpet and rock back and forth but we think it's just easier for her to use her arms. She has also started to blow raspberries, wave, and giggle! Her personality is starting to come out as well. I think she is going to be very sensitive...when ever you say her name in that "tone" she cries. It breaks my heart but do I really want her playing with electrical outlets and chewing on cords? Mila also continues to really struggle with teething. I can almost hear her singing..."All I want for Christmas are my TWO FRONT TEETH....and this pain to STOP!!" I always have to laugh with some of teh other parents with babies close in age to Mila that say..."He just woke up with two teeth this morning, I had no idea!" If only it were that easy!! Enjoy the new pics!

Mommy's little girl!

This is the face she makes when "sniffling!" 

Makes me laugh!!

She has figured out how to get under her exersaucer...

and as you can see she really likes to hang out here!

Belly full of laughs!

Last night I was being goofy with Mila while she was playing in her exersaucer. I put my hood up on my sweatshirt and started blowing bubbles in my water. She thought it was hilarious and giggled louder than we have ever heard before! This really is the greatest sound any parent can ask for and I hope we get to hear a lot more in the future! Sorry the video quality is less than stellar...the room was apparently too dark and don't mind me laughing too in the background!

Holiday Card Attempts

So last night I started thinking about what we are going to do for our Chirstmas cards this year.  This is about as time consuming as the Halloween costume!  I attempted to take a few pictures when she was in a really good mood but as you can see, she was not very cooperative!  Hopefully I will have better luck next time!

Get this thing OFF my head!

Sorry mommy...my toes are WAY more interesting!

Think she's had enough?

Mila's Busy Week

Mila is on the move more and more every day.  She is almost up on her knees but knows she can get places faster just using her upper body.  It is amazing all the new things she is discovering throughout the house and rather comical all the things she finds interest in investigating.  Her new favorite toys include floor registers, cords/outlets of any type (just like papa), the Kirby (just like mommy), the doggy dish (just like Ozo), the remote controls, and strangely enough...door stops.  This week she has really been brave moving to areas by herself, usually going after the dog or cat!

I love to rub my fingers across the registers...

and grab the door stops!

Sasha...are you in there?

You caught me!

Gotcha!

Ohhhh...the sweeper!

The doggy's toenails...not really sure why?!?

I love my puppy kisses....

mommy does not!
