Some pictures for today- 8 months

Hi Mom- this is my wave!

I loveee my puppies

Check out my tooth on the top- and it has a friend that just popped through just to the left of it! (both are on the right...she'll be lopsided!)

I love to take out my bows these days- such a Tom boy. Bib reads "mom's lexus makes me drool"

I love playing picnic

What happened during her seventh month

Holds her sippy cup by herself
Would rather mama hold the bottle for her
Lengthened her two naps- typically take two naps of about 1 hour to 1.5 hours and a twenty minute cat nap at 5pm (first nap at 9am, second nap at 1pm)
Has been waking up at 6:30 to hang out with daddy before work
Has two teeth on the bottom and two on the top
Wearing 12 month clothes....and some 12-18 month, 12-24 month socks, size 3 diapers
Rolls around quickly on the floor and is ALMOST pulling herself up to sit by herself
Laughs a ton...at everything...all the time
Loves her swing and her stacking cups, and her dancing baby doll "twinkle toes"
Loves reaching, grabbing, and throwing things over her side...and loves to watch mom and dad pick it up
Loves beans, eggs, avocado, rice
Is eating thicker consistencies- mashed with chunks
Likes to self-feed....trying to use the spoon and pick up bits of food within her fingers
Mom is starting to wean nursing- Katherine is now drinking eight ounce bottles of half breastmilk, half formula (Enfamil Gentleease)
Attends multiple playgroups a week- typically one with Emily Feuille, another with neighborhood girls, and another with NDECPTA group.
Attends LA Fitness Kids Klub while mom works out
Has blonde-ish hair that is getting SUPER long...if she keeps pulling her bows out, we might have to get a haircut!
Learned to clap and wave
Has her teeth brushed nightly at night in the bath...loves the feeling
Loves to play with water bottles and has finally learned to love her Baby Einstein activity set where she can stand, jump, and move around
Has started talking- ta ta ta ta da da da da...has found her high pitch and loves to scream for fun...and then giggle when she realizes she made the sound

Lots more, but that's it for now.

Lately

Cleaned out the fridge the other day- love doing that...threw away all expired things...mustard, salad dressings, syrup etc.

Lots of things to recycle and replace...but honestly, when was the last time we used syrup? I think I can pass on some things.

At Outback...KAtherine wanted to eat the Bloomin' Onion soooo bad

Playing her piano and new toy from her friend Jack.

Since I'm sure you want more pictures... ;)

We went to another SMU bball game

Love her jacket and hat combo

We had a 'hood playdate-check out all these little people! Katherine is the youngest in this pic

I made a delicious cake- Heath Chocolate Cake-

Make a German Chocolate Cake from a box...bake as directed. Take out of the oven, and poke holes throughout with a fork. Let cool. Pour sweetened condensed milk on top (will soak into the holes), then pour a jar of Chocolate Fudge Sauce on top. Lastly, a quick layer of whip cream and crushed Heath bar on top. Moist, delicious and fluffy somehow- I thought it would be super rich, but it was heavenly!
