8 months old!

Today Emily is 8 months old!

Time is flying by!  We're doing more and more solid foods, still breastfeeding, and learning to crawl!  I am pretty sure her two top teeth are trying to come in too (cue the song, "all I want for Christmas are my two front teeth"! haha!).  Still not sleeping great, but doing better.

Just this week she's really getting good at the army crawl and she sort of scoots on her butt. She's very good at reaching for stuff and inching her way closer to something she wants.  And this morning she figured out that she could get from sitting to on her tummy so she can crawl which means we're about a week away from trouble I'm afraid. It's really exciting to see her do new things, but man, I'm going to miss these days where she'll stay put so I can get things done!
 
We put her long hair in pigtails, can you see them?!?
We went to Henderson this past weekend for my Grandaddy's 80th birthday celebration, my mom's birthday (we won't say which one) and to celebrate Christmas with the Moss side of the family.
It was a fun filled busy weekend.

opening presents from Great Grandaddy and Clareese!
She got some really fun new toys!--THANK YOU!!
My dad got a new puppy a couple of weeks ago so we all got to meet Beau. He's such a cute lab and quite bright. Matt, my new brother-in-law, says we're going to play the game at Christmas where we have to guess if the toy is for Beau or for Emily!  He seemed to like this duck they got him best but he did grab her baby dolls a few times!


And she of course rode the lawn mower! She did this for the first time at my sister's wedding but I didn't get a picture. She looks like she was having a fun time!




I'd like to note too (for memory book purposes) that 12/12/2012 was this past week and that its the last time something like this will happen for another 88 years! The significance being that while we probably won't be around to see 01/01/2101, Emily could very well be! How cool is that?!?!

We love our sweet Emily to pieces, happy 8 month birthday!
