2nd tooth

Just noticed it today. What a trooper! Casey had a hard time going to sleep Friday night, we thought it was from all the traveling.  Maybe it was this tooth!

8 months old (and two days)

Casey turned 8 months old when we were in Florida.  What a month this has been!

 

At 8 months,

Casey can:

-crawl! Yep, a regular baby crawl - though she likes to rest and sit up.

-she has one tooth!

-pull herself up to stand.

-raise her arms so you can pick her up.

-say lots of things with different sounds.

-eat everything we give her.  Seriously. 

-drink out of a sippy cup or regular cup if she feels like it

Casey likes:

-still likes people and faces. If you smile at her, she will smile back. and sometimes she'll keep trying to catch someone's eye till they interact with her.

-her daddy - a whole week with Michael and she is hooked! And her Great Grandma! (clapping with Estelle and getting grandma kisses on her hands)

-other babies and kids

-loves food in the little mesh feeder thing - entertains her for about 20 minutes! - loves all food so far!

-being outside - sometimes the fresh air stops her fussing

Casey hates:

-the bottle, but we are trying to go to a sippy cup now or a regular cup.

-getting in the sleep sack - which means its bed time.

-not being able to play when on a plane.  so she kicks me out of her seat.

Pool, gators, and dinner

Fun with Carlee too.

Grandma teaches Casey to clap to the music

Casey crawled!!

First time really crawling while we video chatted with grandma Virginia and grandad Peter in New Zealand! They saw it live! We then took video from two angles! It's good to be the first! Michaels video was taken while we face timed with nanny Leslie and grandpa ken.
