Happy 8 Months Lily Ann!!

WOW!! Eight months already!?! Where has the time gone.. I know I say this every month but our baby girl is growing up so fast and discovering new things everyday!! Lily Ann here are some things that you are doing now:
*You are still a GREAT sleeper.. You sleep from 7pm-8:45am. You have a 45 minute nap in the morning and about 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon!!
*You love to eat your food.. We have not come across anything that you have not liked!
* You still get 4 bottles a day. 3-7oz and 1-4-oz.
*You have picked up on screaming.. You LOVE to scream and do it oh so well!! Sometimes it's ear piercing but you have a great set of lungs..You only scream when you are happy so you scream all day long.. I'm sure the neighbors are wondering what's going on in this house.. You love to scream the whole time we are in the grocery store and shopping..Everyone thinks it's the cutest thing!! LOL!!
*You have just learned to wave Hello and Bye Bye..
* Your first word was Mama a couple of weeks ago and your Daddy is really trying hard to get you to say Dada!! (We practice everyday!)
*You love to sit and play with your toys!
*You also love to read books.. Your favorite book is Water Water Everywhere!(This is the book that is in all of her pictures!) You scream with excitement every time Mommy or Daddy read it to you!!
*You want to crawl but hate being on you belly! You are very close!
*You now hold your own bottle and have almost mastered the sippy cup. You put it in your mouth but instead of sucking you chew!
*You still don't have any teeth yet but are chewing non stop!
*You love to go for walks around the neighborhood!
*You love to jump in your jumparoo and watch Baby Mozart.. How do I know that you LOVE these things..Because you SCREAM with excitement the whole time doing them..LOL!!

You are such a bright, fun loving, happy little girl and you Daddy and I are so thankful to be your parents.. There is never a dull moment with you! We find ourselves laughing with you all day long.. You are such a blessing and we couldn't imagine life without you!! We love you so much and look forward to all the new things to come in the upcoming months!!

P.S. We are going to work on our "inside voices" over the next few weeks!! Wish us luck!!

(Jacob and I were sitting on the couch talking last night talking about when we went to dinner a couple of months ago and our waitress was talking about how good LA was and how quiet she was! She proceeded to tell us that her grandson, who was a few weeks older than LA, was a screamer.. He screamed all day long! Jacob and I were laughing, picturing a screaming baby all day long, and at the fact that this Grandmother must be over exaggerating! Well let's just say that we are eating our words now!! We now know what she is talking about! LOL!!)


Here's a video of LA waving Hello!!(You will notice she gets both hands going!!)
