Eight Months

Tiny Harper is eight months old now! I can honestly say that I have enjoyed each stage of Harper's life but this stage she's in right now is my current favorite. She is SO much fun! I love that her personality is coming out so much right now and she's learning and discovering so many new things each day. I love that she's still on a great schedule and I know what to expect (to a certain extent) out of our days. I'm SO excited that the holidays are coming up and we get to experience them with a baby this year. I know she has no clue what's going on but it's still so fun and exciting for us. 

Harper lately:

- can say "mama" and "dada" and she's starting to discover who is who. She says them all. the. time.   Hearing her say "mama" when I pick her up out of her crib in the morning is one of my very favorite things. I remember being pregnant and wondering what her little voice would sound like. I'm excited for her to learn even more words and start talking a lot. Even though I'm fairly certain once she gets going the talking will NEVER stop. 

- Can drink out of a normal cup. She's really not a fan of sippy cups or bottles at all so I decided to see what she would do with real cup and she looooooves it.

- This girl can eat! She eats unreal amounts of food for how small she is and we love it. 

- She learned how to feed herself! It is sooooooo freaking cute. I love sitting and watching her grab her snacks with her chubby little dimply hands and shoving her whole fist into her mouth to retrieve her treat. 

- She loooooooooooooooves fruit (especially berries...she gets that from me) and yogurt. Her favorite foods besides those are any kind of puffs, lil crunchies, yogurt melts, arrowroot cookies, black beans, pastas, string cheese, ham, turkey and chicken

- I think she might actually crawl soon...when she sees something she wants and she's sitting she will stretch out as far as she possibly can to get it and tries to wiggle her way closer to it. 

- Harper is such a people watcher....she's borderline creepy about it. She's so funny when we take her out..especially to church. She just slowly scans the room and stares at everyone 

- She hates socks and shoes and will pull them off over and over and over again...I don't know why I even bother with socks anymore (I've pretty much given up on shoes all together)

- Harper dances any time she hears music. It doesn't matter if it's a TV commercial, Preston singing, a ringtone, an actual song, a movie, Ellen, anything...it's so cute. It's like she can't help but dance when she hears music

- Had her first modeling photo shoot...I was so proud of her and she looked beautiful. It was weird how pretty she looked in the photos, She's always been cute but lately I can't help but notice how pretty she is getting.

- likes to stand all the time and is working on pulling herself up on everything.

Here are some photos :)

Happy Thanksgiving! See you next month
