• You have learned to sign "more" and "all done".
• You have learned to clap and it makes you so happy to do it.
• You can stand on your own and you love to crawl, pull up, and cruise.
• You say "mama, dada, tut-tut (tucker), hi, bye, papa and ball".
• You blow kisses and it's the best.thing.ever.
• You love to eat crackers and noodles.
• You love lemons but make the funniest faces all the time.

First Snow of the year

We actually got a decent snow a few weeks back.  It started at night and dropped gigantic flakes...we ended up getting around 4 inches and the girls went out that morning to play in it.  Lottie was not loving the cold on her hands.  Essie just wanted to build a snowman so she could use her new snowman kit! 

8 months

Lottie girl...you are EIGHT months old! How is that even possible?! 

• You weigh around 15 pounds...still wear 3-6 or 6-9 mos size clothes and size 2 diapers.
• You are crazy mobile and love to pull up everything!!!
• You are starting to get hair...mainly in the back.
• You are obsessed with other people's hair...you constantly pull and tug on it!
• You FINALLY have a bottom tooth break through the skin...the other is just about to. 
• You just got over a horrible round of RSV...pitifulness.
• You still are teeny tiny and eat 6 oz every 4 hours.  You eat baby food for lunch and dinner too.  You LOVE yogurt and Cheerios.
• You idolize your big sister and try to do everything she does.
• You love to dance and "sing".
• You can say "momma" but it sounds like "mymommom", "dada", "papa" and "hi/bye".  You are a professional waver.
• You have started to walk behind a push toy.
• You hate socks and shoes.
