Lily is 8 months old - holey moley!!



Awww man, can someone make time slow down!!  My bubby is growing up too quickly and even though I am totally enjoying her busy little stage, I want it all to slow down!  She is sooooooo precious! She is total personality!  She is easy to please and so full of smiles!  She is a clever chickie and also has a musical bone as she tries to 'aaaaaah' along with music in the car, so sweet.

This has been a busy busy month for Lily!  Cause she is such a busy girl!

* She quickly learnt to sit up straight and play early this month.  Don't you love the good posture bubs have!!  She can now crawl, stop, sit up and then crawl some more :)  She can sit up straight in the shopping trolleys, no more trying to find the trolleys with bubby seats in them YEAH!

* Halfway through this month she started with all the sounds, she started by saying 'ba-ba-ba-ba' or 'da-da-da' with some squeels in between, so cute!  She just very recently started saying 'mummm-mummm-mumm' while she crawls around looking for me, she knows that she is calling me and it just makes my heart swell with pride, I'm so lucky to be her mummy!

* Another 7.5 achievement is the cut of her first toothie, very sharp little tooth protruding on the bottom.  Generally she has dealt well with the teething, but it has def turned her off food a bit and also have had some grizlllly days too.

* I love the speed of her crawling, she can totally zoom along!  She knows how to crawl over the little ledge to the tiles from the carpet that leads into the bathroom and she has learnt how to crawl on her tippie toes when she is wearing a dress that keeps getting in the way!

* She is pulling herself up against everything and anything!!  And of course waves her little magic hand and makes everything tumble off whatever it is she is against!  She stretches up high to get to my scrap table, not long now and I'll have to pack away after scrapping boohooo!

*  She loves the wind, she adores swinging, if she hears the creak of the swing when Katie swings she will start kicking her legs and squeeling (even if we are inside and out of sight!!)

* She is still an excellent car passenger, she falls asleep so easily in the car, a dream!!

* She is going to 'bed' around 8:30 and is getting up around 6:30, but I still get a few wakeups during the night, sometimes just brief but still.

* She LOVES food!  She would have food above a bottle of milk anyday!

* She loves cuddles, but doesn't want to sit still at the moment neither though.

* She has experienced her first Christmas, I think she got totally overwhelmed with all the people around poor bub, but she is loving all of her gifts for sure!!  She got a bubby musical piano from Daddy, a musical tower thingo from me and Katie (the type where you have the put the various size circles on the tower), a bus with jingly balls from her grandparents and tonnes of gorgeous adorable clothes from all the family!!




Love to you all!!!
