8 Months

This post is a little late. Eva turned 8 months on August 8, but better late than never, right?

But boy, this has been such a fun month with Eva! Everyday she gets smarter and stronger, which means I have to get smarter and stronger too because she wants to get her hands on everything!

There were many new firsts this month. Eva got her first bottom teeth mid-July. Two popped up at the same time on Monday the 16th. That was quite a rough week before they popped through, but we made it and hopefully we’ll have some time before the rest start showing up.

Eva started pulling herself up on things this month too. She loves it so much that she usually laughs and laughs whenever she makes it up. But she’s never too happy when she loses her balance and bonks her head. She’s got a bunch of bruises on her forehead right now, poor girl.

On August the 4th, Eva started to crawl. It was in the middle of a bridal shower and so I didn’t want to make a big deal, but I almost shed a tear and in the inside I was FREAKING OUT! I can’t believe my baby girl is getting so old SO fast! A couple of days after that, she still wasn’t crawling much. You could tell it was frustrating her so much. But then on the 8th she REALLY took off. And she hasn’t stopped since.

Likes

Smiling, laughing, coughing to get attention, baths, Seven Peaks, splashing, taking baths in the sink, Sweet Potatoes, snow cones, her teddy bear (thanks, Hannah!), her new Fisher Price toys, slamming her hands down on things (she’s a future drummer), chewing on her thumb, crawling, walking (with help), being thrown up in the air, ripping leaves off of trees, cuddling when she is REALLY tired (doesn’t happen often, but when it does… it’s the best!), typing on the laptop, making messes, sleeping on her belly with her bum WAY up in the air.

Dislikes

Diaper changes, when tub time is over, being held inwards, wearing shoes, being quiet at church, getting something taken away from her, having her face wiped (talk about a conniption fit!), Daddy being gone.
