Our Little Mover

So, our little darling is now 8 months old and very mobile. She started crawling a few days after she turned 7 months old. But now she has started to pull herself up to stand and may take a couple steps when she does it. It's amazing to see how she learns what she learns on her own. Everyday she amazes me one way or another.

It was very hard to get a picture of her for her 8 month birthday because all she wants to do is move. So, after giving her a tubby I figured the best way to get a picture was to take it while she was standing in her crib. I couldn't get her smiling because all she wanted to do was chew on her crib - she doesn't have any teeth yet, but we are hoping soon they will pop in.

Now, after much work after taking the pictures in her crib, I called in her daddy to try to get some of her crawling around on the floor smiling, but all she wanted to do was go, go, go. But I did get one favorite from that.

Icicles Galore

So, this weekend I was outside with my dog while my daughter was sleeping and I noticed this huge icicle hanging from our roof. It's a wonderful sign of the snow melting, but unfortunately a sign of the freezing cold temperatures that won't seem to go away.

Just looking at it makes me chilly, but thought it was a good time to show the positive side of all of this since I'm not a huge snow person.
