Eight Months Old

Our sweet little Maggie girl turn 8 months old while we were in Florida!  She is changing EVERY day.  She is still the happiest little girl and smiles so often!  I squeeze her so much I worry about hurting her!!  I just love her so much!

When we left for Florida she had 4 teeth and was not crawling.  She would roll around and rock on her knees.  However, Maggie came home to from Florida with two more teeth and as a crawler!!!  She’s all over the place!!  Just as it was with Max it’s really bittersweet.  It so exciting to see her reach new milestones but it reminds me of how fast she is growing!
One thing that Maggie does quite a bit is get “centered” on her belly.  She’ll lay on her belly and just kick her legs and wave her arms.  It’s funny.  Well, when I saw this turtle doing the EXACT same thing at the zoo, it TOTALLY reminded me Maggie!!  HAHA!!

So, now that Maggie has been crawling for barely a week she is now PULLING UP AND STANDING!!!!  WHAT?!?  I was ready for the crawling but I don’t know about her trying to walk already!!!  I walked into her room last night and she was standing up in her bed!!  I guess I have to lower the bed TODAY!  She is mainly wearing 9 months.  She fits into 12 month clothing length wise but she doesn’t really “fill” it out.  She still isn’t a really big baby.
Slow down little Girl!!!

Maggie still isn’t a great eater.  She doesn’t love “real” food.  She is still nursing.  I’ve tried to mix her bottles with a little bit of formula but she isn’t having anything to do with formula.  Pray I can keep up!  She’s really funny when we try to feed her solids.  She will purse her lips together and shake her head no.  It’s kind of funny.
When she eats it is a mess – see:

The other day her precious big brother asked if he could feed her.  Of course, we let him.  He did SO great and she ACTUALLY ATE!!!!  Such a great big brother.  It was so sweet.

I know I say Maggie is the happiest baby and she really is SO happy.  She smiles ALL.THE.TIME!!  I caught a picture of her crying the other day. It was so sad but so sweet all at the same time!

Maggie went to her first Razorback tailgate this weekend.  It was great!  The Curtis family came to hang out.  It was SO much fun!!!
Here is one of my dearest friends, Rob, with Maggie.  My kids love Rob and Amy!

The stadium at War Memorial was absolutely beautiful with all the red,white and blue.  We remember and are sending extra prayers up today.
Have a great week!  HUGS and LOTS of LOVE!!
