WOW my little girl is 8 months old today! I can't believe how fast time goes by. Everyone said it would and I didn't believe it. Before I know it she'll be one!!
She's one big baby, over 20lbs (scale said 23lbs today!!) and almost 29 inches long. She's very good at sitting now. Still falls over once and a while, but at least now she doesn't scream when she falls. She's very good at standing with help, just started holding on the coffee table while standing and is busy messing everything up on the coffee table.
Solids are going well, she's tried, apples, carrots, yams, pears, green beans, brocolli and squash. I've made all her baby food, which is really easy and fun!! It was a little slow going, but it's picked up in the last week or so. We'd tried some finger foods, in other words we let her munch on dry toast. She's also mastered the sippy cup, though she still prefers her bottle.
Ummmm lets see life has been quiet lately. lots of baby parties, and get togethers. My grandma is sick, he had a heart attack a couple weeks ago. my mom and dad have been out there for 2 weeks now. she's home, but it's not looking good, all her arteries are clugged and she's really sick. Jason, Lindsay and I are flying out on Friday for easter weekend. Lindsay's first plane ride. Should be fun. I'm really happy Jason's coming with me. It looked like I was going to have to go by myself. Thankfully that's not going to happen.

Signing off!!
