8 Months! Where Does the Time Go!

Well, it seems like every time I turn around Jackobi is yet ANOTHER month older!! She officially hit the 8 month mark today. I've been waiting and waiting for her to start crawling, but she hasn't quite got it figured out yet! But somehow she manages to move her way around and get to the things she's SUPPOSED to stay out of. I know before too long we'll have our hands totally full with her! She scoots, rolls, stretches and flops her way to everything! (Especially the laptop and remote control ...) She's such a good eater and has distinguished between the foods she likes and does not like. She's so funny and does NOT like veggies. She'll turn her head as to almost 'snub' them when I try to feed her. But fruits are another story! I can hardly shovel spoonful's into her mouth fast enough before she's ready for another taste! Her favorite right now is blueberry ... yum!! She also really likes bread and anything we'll give her off of our plates. She still really loves it outside, but with the weather quickly changing to crisp fall, we don't get to go outside much anymore -- hopefully there will be another warm week or two left! A couple of other things Jackobi has learned or does that is funny ... she loves to tip her head sideways to look at things from a different angle; if we're holding her she'll lean her body out sideways to get a different look, it's funny ... we play 'Where'd Jackobi Go' (our version of peek-a-boo) and she goes crazy trying to rip the blanket down to see us, she loves it! ... I can't just leave her in her crib to play for a minute anymore -- she pulls herself right up to see where I'm going and what's going on ... she definately demands attention and has learned how to 'growl' if she doesn't approve of what Nate or I am doing ... one of her favorite things is CHIPPER (for those of you who haven't met our crazy dog -- he's SO HYPER!!) when we take her out to see him her legs start kicking so fast in approval ... she even gets excited when we let her look at him through the window ...

All in all our little girl is growing and learning so fast!! She is such a happy girl and loves to smile and laugh ... she's so much fun!! We love her SO SO much!
