eight [8!!!] months old

emphasis on the title courtesy of my mom. who cannot believe how fast time has flown.

i am eight months old. i can sit like a pro, and steady myself if i get a little wobbly. i can get from sitting to crawling and back again. i love to pull myself up to standing.

when you say 'say hi! daddy!' to me, i will look around for daddy right away. i love to eat - sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, rice cereal, squash, pears, peaches. yum! and recently i've gotten alot better at this sleeping thing.

i have two teeth. on the bottom. they hurt coming in and everyone is glad THAT is over. just in time for my top teeth to come.

so here's some pictures of me. we've been pretty busy lately. i have swimming lessons on mondays and on wednesdays there's playgroup. and then of course there's the fact that now i can easily crawl my way to things - like those neat hole things on the wall that look like faces. wonder what those do...

here's me and wicket for this month. i wouldn't lie still for very long so mom just snapped it fast.


i would much rather attack wicket.


we went to edmonton to see uncle shane's play. here are some pictures:




this is my friend ben - we went to lunch with him way back when when he came through calgary. it was good to see him again. he wanted to watch elmo though, more than play with me.



then over the labour day weekend we went to the cabin with uncle shane, auntie jodi, uncle nathan, auntie mandy and hailey. it was so much fun!





the other day it snowed and i got to watch it. it was amazing! i tried to touch it through the window, then i tried to lick it. it didn't work.
