Irene is 8 months old...



so we are a few days late posting this, as some anonymous person so kindly pointed out! it has been a great month and it seems like another one in which Irene made many "leaps" in her development.

-She is signing "milk" now
-She waves "bye bye"
-She says, "uh oh" (video evidence below) and "dada"
-She is getting more and more mobile. Not quite crawling...more like scooting...and her ability to walk seems just as close as the crawl
-She can feed herself small bits of things. She can also give herself water out of the sippy cup.
-She loves to play "patty cake" and "head, shoulders, knees, and toes"
-She is eating more and more new foods...and seems to do well with them
-We didn't weigh or measure her yet...we will do that and add to this post later

So many fun things happened as well (as you'll see in the pix): Nana came to visit from MN. St. Louis family came down with little Xavi. We had a great time going downtown...she is a true brasilian as she loved Texas De Brasil! Memphis got 5+ inches of snow which didn't melt entirely for 2+ days (which is crazy for Memphis!)...She still loves bath time and those are some of our favorite pictures.

What a wonderful baby!

Annika LOVES to watch the "uh-oh" video! She laughed and laughed. After watching it 3 times, she gasped and said, "Well she knows how to talk now! She's a big girl!"
