Great to be Eight (months)

Miss Navy Blythe is 8 months old! Time has gone by too fast. Over the last month she has really started to show her personality. She is the most smiley, happy baby but within 3 seconds she can turn into the most high pitched screamer around. She loves Merrick. And that's putting it mildly. She won't eat her dinner unless he's sitting at the table with her. She laughs when he hits her with stuffed animals. She giggles when he spits toys at her head. She is constantly looking for him while in the stroller and when I wake her up from her early afternoon nap, I have to tell her we are going to pick him up from school just to get her to smile. Navy isn't crawling yet (which I am totally ok with!) but she is scooting all around the house looking in every corner. She doesn't have any teeth yet either so we stick with the safe foods for now. She gobbles down apple sauce, yogurt, anything with green beans mixed in and crackers. Of course she will try anything you are eating just to see what it is.

I love everything about her! Her big blue eyes, her bald head, her toothless smile and the way she gets excited when she sees her bottle. She's pretty relaxed and just goes with the flow. On days that we are outside almost all day long, she will take her naps in the stroller and wake up happy. She doesn't mind playing by herself on the rug for a few minutes and she prefers to be in the jumper so she can see the whole apartment. My most favorite time of day is when I get to snuggle her as she falls asleep for the night. We have our routine: the same chair, the same blanket, milk and no phone. It works (almost) every time!

I am a little bummed that I can't find her 3 and 4 month pics but there is still a noticeable difference over these four months.
