8 months...where does the time go?

Liddy bug at 8 months

Well I can not believe that Lydia is already 8 months old. The sad thing is I can remember the day I came home from the hospital, I had to go get a nursing bra, and the lady at the store asked me how hold my baby was, I remember saying 3 days old. She replied wow she is little if you can say her age in days. Now it makes me sad because before I know it I will be saying her age in years.Over the break it has absolutely amazed me what a good baby Lydia is. Her reflux is completely gone so fussy time is totally gone. I love that she can sleep anywhere and honestly I used to be totally obsessed with a schedule but it has amazed me that no matter what time we put her down, and no matter where it is she sleeps through the night. I feel so blessed, and lucky that she is the way she is! Anyways even though I don't want her to grow up too fast I am still getting a kick out of all the fun and new things that Lydia is learning. Here are a few...

-She can now army crawl just about anywhere she wants to go, for example she followed me down the hall when I was doing laundry, it kind of scared me.-Even though she can crawl as soon as she gets somewhere (i.e. couch, leg, chair) she wants to pull herself up and stand.-She can walk behind a walker toy that she got for Christmas.-She is using her voice a lot, Chris spoke in church on the 28th and Lydia just yelled and screamed at Chris because she could see him but he wasn't paying any attention to her.-She absolutely loves the water, it is so cute to see her kick her little legs and splash all around.-Now not only does she recogonize and love Che, but any dog! She get's all excited and tries to wiggle down to their level to unintentionaly hit them or pull their hair. It's so freaking cute to see her recognize things like that already.-She still loves her nursery rhyms, and it has now expanded to loving the piano. At my parents we take her to the piano only for her to bang on that thing for as long as we let her. We got her a little "Snoopy" piano for Christmas and she will sit there and play it forever, it's kind of nice to get a few things done while she is occupied.-Lastly she is a total flirt, and loves to be where the action is. I am so amazed how loving she is with just about anyone. I love that she will basically go to anyone who wants to give her attention, partly because I love seeing what everyone has to offer in Lydia's life!Well what can I say I absolutely love being a mommy, she brings so much love and joy to our lives. I feel so blessed to have her in my life and look forward to all that she has in store!
