Abby is 8 months old today! New this month is more locomotion, a little talking, and playing games! Abby still uses her military crawl, but she has gotten a lot faster. Before we went to Albany for Christmas I could put her down with some toys near the kitchen and not worry about her leaving that area. Now she books for the stairs in a few quick seconds. She is busy pulling herself up to a kneeling position and sometimes even onto her feet. She can climb up the stairs with a little help.
She has been busy making all kids of sounds: "Ma, Da, Tha, Ra, Na, Ba" and I would say that she has already said her first few words - "Mama" in connection to me many times and once I heard her say "Anna" when someone was calling Anna's name!
She has a new game she likes to play where she holds her hand out to people so that they will take her hand and hold it or give it a kiss. She also has learned a few other games recently - slapping her tray or a drum to imitate someone else doing it and knocking two blocks together - either by holding both or by knocking a block in her hand to someone else's hand. She still loves peek-a-boo, tub time, and being around people.
She is such a joy and a blessing to our family and we are thankful everyday that she is ours.
Happy day to sweet Abigail! She is a joy.
