8 whole big months old!!!

Where do I begin Lou Lou.......you are one crazy ass little gal who entertains us daily!!!!  Just like last month this month has flown by way too fast.  It seems like I just wrote your 7th month post and here I am writing the 8th month.....SLOW DOWN.  Time obviously does not listen to your mother.....I should just get used to not being listened to!!!!
It's amazing at this age to watch you develop and do it soooo quickly.  We are definitely seeing your personality start to shine through.  Most days you are a fricken riot and then there are those days where you are completely bipolar and a total ass hole.  I'm not going to sugar coat things and pretend that we have the most well behaved, angelic, happy little lady.  There are times when you make mommy want to rip ALL her hair out!!

This here picture above is your new smile!  It's fricken hilarious.....you see the red light on the camera and we tell you to smile and this is what happens.  I LOVE IT!!!!

* You have mastered the army crawl and don't stop moving!!!  You are moments away from totally crawling....you just haven't quite figured out the whole moving of the knees and the hands in the right order!  You are also trying to pull yourself up onto things now.  You are EVERYWHERE!!

* You are starting to figure out how to feed yourself. You are getting pretty good at getting your puffs in your mouth by yourself and you do a pretty good job at holding your own bottle.

* You are obsessed with the water.  You love bath time and you love the pool.  If we would let you, you would sit and splash until you were blue around the mouth!  We took you to Antie Becky's and Uncle Jake's pool last weekend and you played and played and played for hours!! 

* You sorta give kisses.....big wide ass open mouth drool filled wet slobbery kisses.  It doesn't happen very often....and it has to be on your terms!

* You've started having a little bit of separation anxiety.  And when I say a little I mean sometimes we can't even walk away to pee and you'd think someone ripped your arm off!  Yet when we drop you off at Stacy's you are totally fine!  I can't blame ya though....I would totally want to be around your dad and I too!!!  We are pretty f'ing cool!!!!

* You are starting to mimic us....we can make sounds or noises and you copy them back to us.  You have a crazy fake laugh that makes us laugh which in turn makes you laugh again!!  We are just funny I guess!

* You get ridiculously excited to see Carter and Elle.  The second they are in your eye site you completely freak out and if we don't let you near them immediately you get pissed!!!

* You have ZERO patience.....I'll just leave it at that!

* You hate having your face wiped or touched or anything.....I'm pretty sure that one of these days you are going to sock me right in the jaw!!  I know I probably deserve it but I can't stand crusty face or nose!

* You LOVE outside and have a thing for balls...footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, you name a ball....you love it!!!

* This last month you have turned into a little bit of a mama's girl.  Which is completely fine with me....because I know it probably won't last very long! 

* Your favorite book is Brown Bear Brown Bear.  Not sure how much more Brown Bear mommy can read before I chuck that shit out the window!

* You still look exactly like your dad!  Me....not so much!

Happy 8 months baby girl!!!  Looking forward to the next one!!!
