8 Months Old

Elisha is now 8 months old. We realized today that we really need to start keeping a close eye on her. She can crawl and pull up on just about anything very quickly. Her new words this week were Micah and book. I think she said pig one time that she was looking at a book on her changing table. It's a farm book and when I turned to the page with the pigs she acted very proud of herself. After spending all day at her house, I think she said Nana Saturday evening, but she was also quite attached to an Ernie character she found in Micah's tub toys. She's finally starting to have a little bit of a belly. She's been eating almost everything I put in front of her-all kinds of fruits and veggies from asparagus to tomatoes. This week's big introduction was egg yolks. She likes them, but they always end up in her hair (the little bit she has). Her favorite by far is square rice cereal (like Chex). It always makes her smile. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital in her little Christmas stocking cap. She's hardly a baby anymore...
