8 Months!

I can't believe Grace will 8 months tomorrow! She just gets more and more fun every day. And more and more mobile. And more and more vocal. And has more and more of an opinion about things. :) She started crawling about a month ago and has completely taken off. It's funny to get back into the mindset of cords, baby gates, itty bitty things on the floor etc. About a week ago she also started pulling up on everything. If she can stand, that's what she wants to be doing. She made her first transfer last night - holding on to Nathan's leg to holding on to a chair last night too. And now she loves to walk if you hold her hands. I just can't believe how quickly this mobility is accelerating! She's a bit quieter I think than Evie was and she's a big observer, however, she still pretty smiley and loves to laugh, especially at her sister.
Favorite Food: While she'll eat most things, Puffs are by far the fav. ;)
Favorite Activity: Snuggling - our favorite too! And pulling up on whatever she can
Funniest thing to her: Evie
Scariest thing: Pulling a mirror down on top of her and having it shatter all around her. Amazingly, she only got a tiny bruise, no cuts.
Favorite noise: "aaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaa" Sometimes we'll get a "baba" or "mama", but not too much yet.
Favorite place: Wherever everyone else is. She loves to be in the middle of things.
Favorite toy: Sophie the Giraffe. Thanks, Aunt Katie!!
Best friends: Catherine and Daphne - two little girls at church born a few weeks before and a few weeks after her.
Teeth: Just two on the bottom
Ok, enough talking about Gracie Grace, here are some pictures taken within the last month. :)
