here she was staring at a carpenter bee... the big fat ones that suspend in air to stare you down, but i couldn't get the bee to hold still and cooperate for the photo :)
little chubber hands...
8 month highlights:
she only has two bottom teeth (they came in at 6 months) and can still wear 3-6 month clothes comfortably. not to mention, she wears only size 2 diaper... our little mini. she has learned to clap and LOVES it!! gets so proud of herself when she's doing it. she can give kisses. and loves it when you say "gracias" after a kiss. she has now started using her pincers. she loves bread to death! (gets that from her momma :) she has learned to open and close her hand to start waving. only now will she get on one knee and rock back and forth to "somewhat" attempt to crawl. isn't quite interested in going places on her own yet i guess. (although, daddy is very ready for the crawling... momma is enjoying the delay :)) her favorite thing is still chasing the dogs. but now, even anika loves it too! she plays with phoebe's legs to pretend bite her, softly of course, and we're all running around and cracking up! this is probably when phoebe laughs her hardest... it's true we've got a dog lover! i really feel like she has so many important things to say to me. sometimes she is trying SO HARD to tell me something but i just don't get it. she will look at me specifically and speak jibberish, intent on getting her point across! guess i need to learn jibberish :) when we show her a picture of a baby, or one of her baby pics, or even if she sees another baby, she gets SO excited! guess we need to work on getting her a sibling... wink wink :)

I can't believe she's so old already! Wow, that went fast. We definitely need to get together again before she turns 1. It's been too long!
Your comments make me laugh! I am so glad you are loving life! Hugs for all of you!
Her shirt is super cute... did someone make that for you personally... baby + baseball?? Love it! Oooh and still ooohing over Phoebe's precious hands :)
So darling! I love her chubber hands too! I want to hold her hand and kiss her fingers. :) Love the "wink wink" too funny! Love you!
BTW... my teeny kids were always wearing a size smaller than their age. Kirra's turning 12 and she's in a 10-12. LOL Nothing's changed since babyhood. ha ha And all of them wore a size 2 diaper until 2 years old! LOL Teeny is good! Just ask Phoebe's Van Buskirk cousins. :)
