8 Month marker

at 8 months Hailey is:

• crawling all over the place
• climbing stairs
• sitting up, kneeling and standing
• saying 'mum'
• not sleeping through the night
• NOT going to anyone but mommy (at least not without complaint)
• still teething (we are not the lucky ones who all of a sudden find teeth with no warning. We are the VERY unlucky ones who get to suffer MONTHS before any appear). She still only has her 2 bottoms that she got over 2 mths ago.
• loving baths and swimming
• eating more 'adult' foods
• 'talking' very loud
• throwing tantrums
• can 'gimme five'
• falls and hits her head all the time
• can walk with a walker
• stands up in her crib and holds onto the rails
• LOVES to brush her teeth (so funny)
• sings with mommy
• and has lost weight but grown in length

She is such a handful and we hope we don't have another just like her but we couldn't live without her or imagine our family without her personality. Good heavens... what does my future hold with this one???????????
