Tessa 8 months

She wants to stand up now-all the time! She tries to pull herself up on anything she can get her hands on. She is rolling and scooting all over the place, and she wants to crawl but hasn’t quite figured it out. This past month she has been sick a lot, and up in the night a lot. She’s also teething! I felt a little tooth just barely coming in today. She loves her baby food-she’ll eat anything I give her, but seems to prefer the turkey and sweet potatoes. Her new favorite game is, I drop the toy and you pick it up. She loves the toy she got for Christmas-she drops a rolly polly thing in and it goes through a tunnel and activates music and comes out the bottom. She’ll play with that for at least 10 minutes!   She is now sitting in the shopping cart and stroller without her carseat and loves to look around at people and her surroundings. We always get stopped numerous times in stores so people can admire her and compliment her, but she hardly ever will give them a smile. Those are reserved only for those she loves-her family and a few special friends. Her siblings are still crazy about her and her face lights up when they come home from school. She loves her Daddy too-when he’s not paying attention to her, she’ll look at him and smile until she gets his attention. When Mommy holds her, she likes to eat my hair or suck on my face. She’s just so adorable. We all love her so much!
