8 months!!



Nyla will be 8 months old in a few days. I can't believe how much she's changed in the past 2 months. She's crawling, sitting up all by herself (she could sit up before if we sat her up, but couldn't get up on her own), she's still saying a few little words, and has started to pull herself up to stand.
I heard her talking to herself in her crib after a nap and when I went to check on her she was standing up, reaching through the bars on her crib and taking things from the top of her dresser and throwing them around. Of course when she saw me watching her she gave me her big toothy grin. I just can't believe she's getting so big. (Ya, we moved the dresser).
She is such a character! If she hears anyone laughing she has to laugh too - but she does an old man laugh. She loves playing outside (she thinks grass is hilarious). She's a lot of fun right now!
I can't believe she's going to be walking and talking soon! Time is really starting to fly.
I'm going to try to get little videos of her crawling and the old man laugh and I'll figure out how to post them on here.
We hope you're all well!

Tagged for the random 7

Well, I like reading other people's random facts so I thought I'd actually do one since I've actually been tagged.

1. I CAN NOT STAND eating noises.

2. Watches go dead on my wrist (must be something to do with my electric personality... don't stand next to me in a lightning storm).

3. I'm afraid of ostriches. (If you've ever been chased by a very angry ostrich you'll understand what I mean).

4. I rocked the 'girl mullet' when I was a kid. RADICAL!

5. I was in a ukulele band in elementary school. We even wore the straw hats and weird outfits.

6. I would rather have my eyes poked out then have to play video games.

7. I love the smell of the different seasons. And the smell of the forest after it rains.

Ta daaaaa! Now in true blogging fashion, I tag anyone reading this who hasn't already done it lately.
