Today Margo is eight months old and Alex is 28, what a fun day! We went to the doctor yesterday for her flu shot and she weighed in at 18.5lbs (60th %ile) and 25 inches long (4th %ile).
Margo is growing right before my eyes! She rolls across the room to get to whatever she wants and would love to be crawling, but hasn't quite figured it out. She finally has two little teeth and worked hard to get them! She babbles up a storm and giggles all the time. She loves her daddy and lights up every time he walks in the room. She tries to "pet" Moose but he's too fast for her, whenever she does get him she pulls chunks of hair out and tries to eat it...someday they'll be best friends, just not quite yet.
Her favorite toy is a toss up between an old parmesan cheese container that I've filled with ribbons tied together that she pulls out and her Little People Nativity. She reads books with me every day and we love our trips to the library. Our evening walk is one of my favorite times of the day since she coo's and chats the whole way, Alex and I get to catch up and Moose tries to catch all the squirrels we see.
She has started to enjoy food (finally) and is eating a variety of vegetables, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese and chicken. So far I've made all of her baby food and we're both enjoying it. It's forcing me to make things I've never made or tasted, so we're branching out! Her daily schedule is still the same as last month, so we're pretty predictable.
We love this girl so much and we love getting to be her parents. I'd be lying if I said there weren't challenging days, but I know this stage of life is fleeting so I'm trying to enjoy every second.
bath time babe
happy after nap time

hanging out with the pumpkins at the Vintage Market in Chesterfield
a family that wears robes together, stays (warm) together
she woke up as happy as a clam
