Adalynn is {EIGHT MONTHS}

Probably sound like a broken record, but I just can't believe how fast our little girl is growing! She is always changing and doing something new or learning things. She is quite the big little baby now! Put a little clip in her hair and a cute outfit on and BAM! She looks so stinkin grown up! Time for pictures and stats!

Here are her 8 Month pictures :) Yes they are getting down to just a few pictures unfortunately... So hard to get her to smile AND take the picture AND keep her confined to one area. But just the same I still managed to get some shots that are to die for <3 We love you so much Adalynn Claire!!



{Physical Stuff}
-Weighs 22lbs 14oz
-No new teeth, just the bottom two. Sharp little things! She thinks it funny to bite you with them.
-Crawls EVERYWHERE. She loves to go sit in front of the fridge and see her reflection, then make faces and give kisses. So funny so watch her laugh and squeal when she can see herself!
-Still comfy in 12 month pants and onesies
-Refuses to wear shoes, kicks them off and then chews on them
-Chews on EVERYTHING, she is fast! Goes straight from the hand grabbing into the mouth
-Always talking, making noises, spitting, and trying to make new sounds
-Mom and Dad had to lower her crib to the very bottom due to her crawling and pulling herself up shenanigans!
-Hair has at least doubled since last "monthly" post. So many curls! Crazy to say that "doing" her hair daily is now a reality. Her curly hair is to die for though! It is so adorable. Everyone always comments how cute her and her hair are!
-Her hand eye coordination is so fast! Especially when picking up food off her high chair tray
-Still majorly "blowing" out of diapers no matter what the brand. We have tried them ALL! Best so far is LUVs and that isn't saying much... Always have to bring a bag of "stuff" when we go into town that includes a few outfits just in case!

{LOVES}
-light up toys that play music
-animal sounds and nursery rhyme songs
-her puppy doll that sings songs and you can press buttons on his heart, hands, and feet
-to make all sorts of sounds and spit with her mouth
-sticking her tongue out, especially when she smiles!
-crawling into mommy and daddy's room.. She thinks that is so funny! Who knows why?!
-going under the reclining foot rest under the couch. Daddy jokes that she loves to go in the "cave of wonders".
-getting caught doing something. She crawls faster and giggles so loud if she knows she is getting caught doing something or going where she isn't supposed to be!
-grabbing everything within reach when riding in the cart in the store. She also LOVES to ride in her cart cover with toys hanging on it. That makes shopping life a little easier :)
-playing in the bath! Now that she can sit up and not be too wobbly in the tub, she loves to play with toys, chew on her rubber ducky loofah, suck on her turtle sponge, kick, and splash!
-showering with daddy
-finger foods on her high chair tray. Her newest favorites are flavored puffs, baby yogurt, and chicken sticks
-to mimic any sound you make. She will go back and forth with you saying the same sound over and over again
-to take "selfies" and see herself on the phone camera screen. She automatically lights up and laughs and smiles. Oh boy we are in trouble!
-playing with cell phones and the TV remote. She DIVES for them! They are her favorite!
-playing peekaboo with dad
-when daddy comes home and when grandpa makes funny noises
-rolling over or crawling and then posing while looking back at you
-chewing on her socks
-swimming in the pool
-drinking from a sippy cup
-snuggling with blankets
-sleeping on her side and stomach
-daddy throwing her up in the air

{HATES}
-getting dressed
-sitting still
-not being fed fast enough
-not being able to touch/grab some things
-seeing you have/mix her food when she is hungry
-wearings shoes and being bundled up in jackets and hats
-getting her face and hands wiped after eating
-getting buckled in her carseat

{QUIRKS}
- She has sooooo much attitude now! We have seen glimpses of it up until now, but seriously it has exploded. So many grunts and sounds and sadly she is learning the tantrm. She is such a good baby, but she definitely can hold her own!
-when she gets excited even when she is being held, she kicks her legs so fast in excitement! her legs and feet are always moving!
-When she wakes up from her naps or in the morning, you go into her room to get her and she is always sitting up grinning from ear to ear and laughing as you come in the room. Melts my heart EVERY time!
-Before we lowered her crib to the lowest setting, she grabbed the camera down from the rail of her crib. My monitor went blank and of course I went in there worried that something happened. I go in there to find her holding the camera in the corner of her bed, sitting up and giggling so funny while holding the camera in her hand like it was her prize! I was relieved and all I could do was laugh! It was so funny! Never a dull moment with our princess!
-She cackles like nothing I've ever heard before! You can't help but laugh with her and be so in love with her sweet little being
-She has learned to "squirt" her bottle nipple at you while she is eating. Of course then she gasps because it is all over her face too and it surprises her, Silly girl! Be prepared to wear her food no matter what you are feeding her!
-It never fails, she will find any cords that are plugged in and within her reach and crawl super fast over to them and then try to eat them. Who needs toys?
-When mommy is in the kitchen, she has to be too, Whether it is watching her reflection in the fridge or playing with whisks and measuring cups. She has always got to be where mommy is during the day. Then daddy comes home and all bets are off. She loves to play with him and ride airplane and get thrown up in the air.
