8 months

WOW Danica you are on the move. You are rolling everywhere and starting the crawling motion. You can make it from one side of the room to the other in seconds. At 75% percentile for height and weight we have a major athlete on our hands. You have terrific manipulation skills and love to pick up things and throw things, and punch things, and grab whatever body part of whoever is closest to you.You are still the happiest baby ever and smile at everyone and everything, you just love to giggle. Oh and the sounds you make, you try to imitate everything Charlli does and she wants to spend every minute with you. If you can believe it, we have a baby that sleeps... YOU. Daily, Kathy has you on a schedule and you have a new friend Maria besides your boyfriend Logan. You have made your way to a pack n play and stretch out when you sleep, especially loving to sleep on your stomach. At home we call your bed time between 7:30 and 8:30 and you sleep through the night until about 6:45am, it is truly amazing. We are still making the transition to the crib but I know we (I) will get there soon, I can feel it! You are such a great eater and eat pretty much everything especially chicken and apples and we have started to move on to puffies. The best thing about your diet is that Charli wants to eat the same food you do, therefore you are both eating healthy, cheers to that. Swimming and baths still remain on the top of your lists of must- you are the happiest in water just splashing around and when the water is poured on your head. Boy do you kick and kick and splash everywhere and just giggle and laugh. It is so fun to take pictures of you and movies because you are so photogenic and non-stop smiling. We visited GG on Easter and that brought so much joy to her. You also met Aunt Soph and Uncle Rich from California who came bearing Minnie Mouse gifts, how fun! It is just amazing the little person you are becoming and just how much you are growing. Your hair is so fun and still brown, but those eyes of yours are piercing blue! Your thighs and buns have started to fill out a little but lets be honest you are still a little "porkchop"  but the absolute cutest and happiest one I have ever seen. Oh Danica to just rock with you in the chair and hold you is the most amazing feeling, you are such a nuzzler but honey when you are ready for a nap there is no stopping you....you rubs your eyes, whimper in your little way and when we put you down tuck you in with a blanky and your wubbanub and you are out, even Charli can't get you up---well yes she can and she does. You two are already a team and just in love with one another. This little family we have with Reilly and River is truly something, every day it jsut keeps getting better. Here's to another healthy month with a little cold to end it but that doesn't slow you down or stop you from happiness honey you are something else. We love you!
