Eight Months

Little Jo is eight months old! 


Jolie has been changing so much lately!  It is so amazing to see the things that she is doing now that she couldn't do just a few weeks ago.  At 7.5 months Jolie's two middle top teeth came in, and I just noticed yesterday that tooth #5 is in (also on top) and that #6 is probably just days away.  She has the sweetest smile with all these new little teeth!  Her hair is changing a lot too!  I had forgotten how dark it was until we were looking through some of her newborn pictures, and now all the new growth is nearly blonde.  Jolie has also just started to eat Gerber Puffs and is figuring out how to feed herself.  It's hard work to get those little things from her tray to her mouth!

In the last month Jolie has learned lots of new tricks!  She has been saying "dada" for a month and a half now.  It has become her universal word.  She uses it for everything!  She even waves and says "dada" instead of "bye bye."  Jolie has the daintiest wave.  She can also say "yay" and usually claps when I say it.  Most people probably don't recognize her crazy hand waving as clapping, but it is definitely her attempt at clapping.  She especially shows off this trick when people around her cheer at Cole's football games. It cracks me up! She has said "mama" a couple of times but usually refuses. 

This video shows off Jolie's waving and clapping skills.


Jolie has also started pulling up on things.  Here she is doing it in her bed...while being very mad!


Jolie, as of today, has officially moved from army crawling to real crawling!  Here is a video of Jolie crawling for the first time.  Don't worry, I never let Jolie actually have our dog's food bowl...it was just great motivation!
