Dani 8 months old!

Dear Danali-

Well, your top two front teeth came in this past month and this past week, you started inching forward on the floor, though it probably couldn't be considered "crawling" quite yet... Your papi is worried you may never crawl because now you can get around this way... ; )

We've put you in a walker at Grammy's house, but you only seem to go backwards and then you get stuck and get frustrated. You change from happy to frustrated and back to happy in a matter of seconds. I give credit to your father for this attribute.

You are so much fun. You have started pointing at things with your first finger and thumb sticking out. I used to think you were kind of weird but then I realized that's how I point, so now I just think you're pretty smart.

You are eating solids, though I seem to have the worst luck feeding you. You never seem to be very hungry or maybe it's because when you're with me, you just want to nurse. I'm not sure. You have a great time with noodles, carrots and broccoli. And you have this funny habit of eating and leaving the food in your mouth with "no hands" so you look like a little dog or something with the food hanging out of your mouth.

You are still sleeping with us, but I think we'll feel it when it's the right time to move you to the crib. I'm trying to have you nap in there at least. And I'm pretty sure the "right time" is coming soon.

Oh, how we adore you my baby girl. Often at night, as we're getting ready for bed, we'll just look at you and look at each other and think how did we ever get so lucky? We are so unbelievably blessed to have you in our lives. We can't imagine life without you!

Love,
Your Mom (and Dad)
