8 Months!

Emmy is 8 months today! At 8 months she...

-weighs a little over 17 pounds
-is crawling all over the place
-still does not have any teeth
-loves graham crackers & loves to eat anything we are eating. Especially if it's off our fork instead of hers.
-loves books (she will crawl over to her book bin and pull them out and look at me like she wants me to read it to her. And she will actually sit on my lap and look at about 4 books in a row that I read to her.)
-absolutely refused to nurse at all a couple weeks ago, so it's all formula now, and she has graduated to the fast flow bottles. (this cuts feeding time by about 2/3!) She is still on soy formula since the regular stuff still gives her a rash.
-LOVES her daddy. She will start crawling over toward the door when he comes home.
-is sleeping about 13 hours each night with 2 naps during the day (most days anyway...she still struggles with naps sometimes)
-sleeps with her bum way up in the air.
-can say "da-da", "bo-bo", "hey" and "whoa" but I'm sure she has no idea what it means.
-loves to fly and play patty-cake. She even knows when to throw her arms up in the air.
-can't quite get the hang of drinking out of a cup yet.
-loves to take her socks off and play with them.
