8 months old

Today Salem is 8 months old. I can honestly say I am enjoying it all. I have had so many people tell me to "soak it all in, it goes so fast!" And if that is not the truth!! I blinked and she's 8 months. I can't believe it.

Here are some Salem "highlights"

* Sleeps 7-7, naps 9-10:30, and naps 1:30-3:30 (there IS a God!)
* She still nurses and is on 3 "solid" meals a day
* Her favorites are sweet potatoes, apples, pears, squash, and if you mix any of those, she's extra happy
* She pulls herself up on everything.
* She does what I call the "Salem Scooch" If she sees something she wants, she knows how to move to get it. Sometimes she'll crawl, sometimes she just slithers over. She'll find a way if she wants it!
* says, "Dada" when she sees Chad (which of course is his favorite thing ever)
* makes a kissing sound, and all other funny sounds
* She knows how to give a "kiss" when you ask her for one
* Can wave bye-bye
* LOVES when her Auntie Nawni visits (or "The Nawn" as we call her!) Salem starts clapping and shrieking when she sees Tawni!
* Claps like crazy!!
* And LOVES her Sesame Street. She loves the episode, "Baby Bear's Birthday" She'll sit and watch the whole thing

We are so in love with her. She has so much personality. She loves attention! She would be content playing on the floor all day with her toys and one of us!

Happy 8 Months Salem Sophia. You truly are a blessing to us. We love you Punkety!
