Lennon is 8 months

LENNON IS 8 MONTHS OLD... What?

Yep, she's 4 months away from the big FIRST birthday!

Seriously?

Yep.

 

 

 

I have experienced more in this past month than in the 8 combined. Our daughter has grown so much, its truly breathtaking. She's learning, exploring, and teaching me and Dan things we have never known before. Dan and I said to each other last night, "remember when she was a baby? She would sleep the whole time at the grocery store?" and, "remember when you were pregnant and we would cuddle like this and she would kick my arm that was on your belly so hard!?" Those are the memories we will cherish forever. Those little moments that bring us closer together, our hearts just melt. We lay in bed laughing about the silly things that Lennon did that day, the amazing moments that she did something new, and the funny moments where she laughs uncontrollably at us tickling her or playing peek-a-boo! This 8 month old child is amazing.

 

Well, Lennon is crawling! ...finally! She started army crawling [dad says she learned from the best, probably!] a few weeks ago and now she is pulling herself around with her hands on the carpet and pushing her herself with her toes! She's all over the place now! [the only place she won't go is the kitchen floor. The linoleum scares her... That's okay with us! Not as much to get into in the living room:)!]

Lennon is waving "hello" and "buh-bye". She is saying "buh-bye" when Daddy leaves for work and "bubba" when she sees her bottle. She is saying Dada more and more and recognizing who he is when he walks in by saying, "hi, dada"! I swear, she better say "Mama" soon!!

 

 

Ya, know... these monthly stickers are getting harder.

She likes to take them off and eat them!

 

...and there it goes!

 

hmm, what is this thing?

 

... I got it, Mom!

 

...Can I eat this?

 

...ew, it's sticky!!

 

Look, Mom & Dad! I can stand all by myself!

 

Lennon is standing all by herself. You stand her up and she stays there for a while. But, before you know it she is on her butt again, crawling over to her toys! But, nonetheless, she's learning! She still doesn't have her tooth yet! It's sitting there being stubborn. When she sleeps she sounds like a baby puppy. She makes the cutest noises in the world and covers her eyes with her hands. It's literally the sweetest thing in the world!

 

I can't wait to watch her grow, learn and explore more and more as she learns to walk and talk! She amazes us more and more every single day... I cannot wait for summer time at the beach and in the pools!! :)

 

More FUN to come...

Happy 8 months sweet Lennon Danielle.
