Eight Months

This little munchkin is eight months old. I honestly cannot believe where the time has gone! She continues to be the sweetest little girl...and she gets cuter and more fun every day. Here are a few things she has been up to lately...

Reese has been crawling for about six weeks now and she likes to pull herself up on anything that she can get her hands on...including unassuming toddlers. (They usually don't like it too much.) Sometimes she gets a little cocky and lets go of whatever she is holding onto, thinking she can stand all by herself. It usually lasts for just a second or two before she tips over.

Reese loves electronics! When she sees her mom or dad on their laptops, she hustles over to get in on the action. She loves pounding on the keys and even managed to pull a few keys off her mom's computer. (thanks, sweetie)

Reese lives for peek-a-boo. It has been her favorite game for months and months--it never gets old! 25 times in a row and she still laughs every time! Her other favorite pastimes are jumping and dancing...she's got great footwork already!

For being such a little peanut, this girl is a big eater! She loves eating...and loves all the fruits and veggies that she's tried so far. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but she is very anxious to eat big girl food. She wants to eat whatever her mom and dad are eating, and we sometimes cave and give her a taste. It is a crack-up to watch her eat because she opens up super-wide to let us know she is ready for another bite. And, if she really likes something, she makes a yummy sound.

Reese has quite a vocabulary for such a little tyke...she can say 'mum' and 'dada' and has even said 'hi'. I don't think she know that she is actually calling us by name, but we still feel very special when she says our names. She is a little chatter box...she just gabs and gabs all day long!

We love our Reeses to pieces! She is a happy girl and she loves to make new friends. But, my favorite thing about Reese is the way she lights up when her mom or dad walk into the room...(sigh)...it melts me.
