Cirstyn is 8 months!









This girl is just growing so fast!!  She is almost able to get into sitting position from lying down and can pretty well get to sitting from being on all fours.  This girl rocks a lot now and has tried to crawl but all efforts have landed her on her face!   She copies sounds we make and laughs at EVERYTHING especially Bradyn, her silly brother!  I love the way she will hold your face and stare right into your eyes, it's like she's telling me how much she loves me - so sweet!  She's just a little doll!  She has been saying "mama", "dada", "baba" ramdomly and we have been showing her the signs for mom and dad.  Now I think she's saying "mama" and "dada" purposefully because she will try to do the hand sign for both.  Such a smart girl!

I think she's almost 28" tall now and probably weighs in at 16.5 lbs but we'll find out next month at her 9 month checkup.  She's been eating the house now taking in about 1.5 to 2 jars of baby food or a bowl full of cereal and fruit then nursing afterwards 4 times per day.  She's an inspriation to Angelina since they are culinary partners right now and loves her sissy!   Her personality is so big and delightful but she is developing that sense of "stranger danger" although it's not too bad yet.  Teething has been bothering her lately as she chews on everything but no toothies have popped through just yet.  She's been pulling up on the big toys, sofa and ottoman but can't quite get all the way up...I'm sure that's not far behind!  She's a silly, sweet, dramatic bundle of love!
