8 Months

My little Lexi,

Well, here we are at 8 months. I cannot believe how time flies. I still remember this time last year. It was around this time we found out you'd be a girl.

This month you went for your check up. You weighed in at 24lbs. 14 oz and are 28 3/4in. You are bigger than your brother was at this age. Dr. Chang says you are very healthy, and says you should be moving in these next months.

You are rolling around quite a bit, and just today I saw you wanting to get into that crawling position. You have also cut your first two teeth, and love babbling.

We have noticed your fondness for cartoon music and your brother. You think he is the funniest thing around. He is the one who will get you to laugh, and now tells us what you want or are saying. You have taken an interest in him as well. We notice you hamming it up with him as well.

You are in what I refer to the happy bouncing stage. Can't really move, but you think by bouncing you can.

You went to the beach again, this time in the sand. It didn't really seem to bother you, it's as if it was completely natural to you. (Funny cause we live in the desert) You didn't cry and surprisingly didn't try to eat the sand.

We will begin swimming lessons later this month, and we are excited! It will be interesting to see how you react to the water and splashes.

We look forward to your laughs, smiles and kisses!

Love,

Mommy
