Hapy Belated Birthday, Jaelyn!

Jaelyn's Lamb Coat from Auntie Laura

Jaelyn turned 8 months old on Monday. My how time flies. It is incredible to think of how much she has changed in just 8 months. Here are some of her favorite things and accomplishments:
  • Sitting
  • Crawling through and over things
  • Pulling herself up onto just about everything
  • Can take a few steps while holding onto something
  • Standing every chance she gets
  • Walking while holding onto our hands
  • Following us around to see what's going on
  • Tilting her head to the side as a way of 'playing' with someone
  • More independent play time now that she can get to where she wants to go on her own.
  • 7 teeth
  • She loves her bath time
  • Reaching out to the person she wants to go with
  • Getting better at her pincher grasp...picking up things with her thumb and finger
  • Giggles more easily
  • Plays peek-a-boo, anticipating where someone will 'pop-up' next
  • Loves to eat, especially her puffy stars

It's been a crazy month for us, but Jaelyn keeps me on my toes and keeps me smiling. She is such a blessing in our lives.
