8 months in a flash

It's GREAT to be 8...months old that is:) What a milestone for our little squirrley girl. She has really mastered the hair bow this month and also this funny squinty cheesy smile. I'm sensing a lot of drama from this one already. 

 Charlotte has lots of favorites right now. One is this wicker basket that holds her diapers. She loves tipping it over and emptying it's contents and really really loves sucking on the little ribbons on the front. Sucking on anything really is a favorite. Seriously, doesn't matter what it is. Clark's cars, golf balls, stray rabbits, toes. Anything. It's all good.
 Dana is determined that she will crawl this month (and we think she will) so he puts enticing goodies in front of her whenever he can. The ball was nice but you should have seen her try to shuffle when his phone was in play. Mostly, she just likes chilling with Clark. She basically wants to be doing whatever Clark is. Here she's trying to hold his hand. Clark can be grumpy with her but truth be told he spends half his day trying to get her to laugh. Two peas in a pod.
We had a sick week this month where everyone went down with the icky ickys. Charlotte got a fun head cold that may be the start of a tooth popping in. She spent a lot of that day laying on the floor too lazy to move just making ba ba ba ba and da da da noises rather pathetically. It's was adorable. Sad, but adorable sad.
Ahh yes, the hair. How can we forget the hair? It is in a word: magnificent. Dana lets it dry however it wants overnight so we never know what hairstyle she'll have in the morning. One day we woke up to the Charlicorn. Equal parts unicorn, sparkle glitter, and cuteness. 
Other days it goes a bit wild. Enter the bows. Sometimes she loves them. Sometimes she's like, hey mom no I don't think so.
And food is back on the menu for this girl. She's tried it all: pears, peaches, mangos, apples, strawberry mixed fruit, carrots, other weird combinations, etc etc. The one thing she does NOT like is puffs. Our girl has one serious gag reflex and anything bigger than a crumb sets her off. 
We love ya girly. We love you even though you have thrown up on both mom and dad twice already this week. And even though you are down to one hour afternoon naps now (NOOOOOO!). We love you always. You are the cutest, happiest, funniest little lady.
