8 months

emma taylor is 8 months! she is talking all the time (but mostly just saying dada). she is more wiggly than ever. i had to take her with me to a doctor's appointment that last for an hour and a half and my arms felt like they were going to fall off by the end because she didn't stop moving once. she can scoot herself a bit on the floor while sitting up to reach things. she still dislikes laying on her stomach, and therefore is still not crawling. however she does like to crawl all over us when we are holding her. she has 4 teeth on the bottom and is currently getting her top two in. she has added cherrios to her diet, and i doubt she is that far from eating other finger foods. she loves being outside. she is definitely easy and fun at this point and as long as she is fed she even does well when she is past her naptime. she is in between 2 and 3 naps, but i don't think it will be long till she permanently drops that third one. i feel great too. i think this is the first month where i have actually had some nights where i have slept all the way through ( after 17 months of interrupted sleep i never thought it would happen again).
