Lily is 8 months!

The time continues to go so fast! This past month has been another month of new things for our little princess. She is FINALLY starting to enjoy baby food, and it's about time. Until recently, she would cry or gag every time I tried to feed her some. She is also loving those little toddler puff things. Once she figured out how to pick them up and get them into her mouth, it was all good. She also enjoys those messy biscuit things-gross. She has learned how to put herself to sleep-the first couple of nights were hard, but she does great now (we even went on a trip with friends last month and she fell asleep in a port a crib with a cabin full of people-I was shocked!). Since learning how to do this, she has been sleeping much better too. She has had to adjust to a life without her pacifier, which I think has been harder on mom and dad than her, especially at church. The bad thing about her going to sleep by herself, is that is now all she wants, no more sleeping in my arms for this girl and of course church is right during nap time-fun stuff. She is still working on her sitting-she's much better, but still occasionally falls over. She is quite the little talker now too-lots of dada's and baba's. And, when she's feeling cooperative, she'll even wave to you. So cute! She loves Gavin and Taho-they make her light up when she sees them. We love having her with us and love watching her grow!
