8 months!

Our little girl just turned 8 months! It has been like a whole pregnancy already! I didn't realize how much faster it would be with two kids. I feel like time is just flying by! Sometimes I am glad though because there are days I just can't wait to be over.

Taryn is starting to learn her fine motor skills. She is starting to get better at feeding herself. She hasn't learned to pick it off the tray yet, but I can give it to her and she will put it in her mouth. She has learned how to clap with her hands and feet. Kind of funny that it is her feet too. She loves to say 'dada' and 'baba'. She is still working on sitting up. She is still struggling with that for some reason. We practice everyday since 6 months and she still struggles. Oh well. She is finally standing up better. I don't have to support her 100%. I am hoping the same will happen with sitting up.

I am still happy that she is content with just laying on her back though. There are other kids her age that are already crawling. I am so happy she isn't. I know it will be fun when she does, but right now I am not ready. We still don't have teeth either, but I am sure that is close. I still love the gummy smiles anyways.

She still loves big brother and he still loves her. It is fun to watch them interact, even though she gets beat up from him. I sure hope they remain close.

8 Months!!

Our little boy is 8 months old! He is getting so big! We had a comment the other day that when he has little shoes on, he looks more like a toddler than a baby. He is probably because he is so tall! It is a good thing though, since we want him to take after Tyler with height, since he is a boy ;) Some of the things he has learned:

• He can scream (not fun!)
• Can scream and cry at the same time (even worse!)
• Loves to babble (dada, mama, baba)
• Can pick up food, but not quite put it in his mouth yet

He is just growing so fast, but I am loving it, even when it is frustrating ;) We are still working on tummy time. He still hates it. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I have tried putting toys in front of him, putting a blanket under his chest, and getting down on the floor with him. I am just out of ideas. I guess he is just taking his time learning to push himself up and crawl. Oh well.

On another note, we have moved into our house! Last weekend was the move in. It was difficult. We have a lot more stuff than we thought. Now we are trying to unpack everything and figure out where to put it all. The joys of moving, but it is so worth it! We love being in our own home and being a family, just us 3, for now ;) We don't have internet right now ( I am at work writing this), but when we do get it back, I will try to post some pictures!!
