Lucy is eight months old today. Today's picture was by far the most difficult one to take so far. She doesn't like to sit still anymore, plus she really wanted to eat the paper. I included some of the outake pictures for your enjoyment as well. This is the best picture that I could get. I gave up trying.
It is amazing how much Lucy has grown up. She still isn't quite crawling, but we really expect her to do it any day now. For now, she just scoots herself where she wants to go, or does "the worm" to get there. If she really wants to get there, she finds a way, it's just not by crawling yet. She loves to feed herself, so I keep trying to find things that are soft enough for her to eat on her own. She's up to eight teeth now (four on the top, four on the bottom). We think she might be cutting her molars already as well, since she is constantly chewing on her thumb in the back of er mouth, so we'll see how that goes. She's starting to use a sippy cup. Sometimes she's more interested in playing with it, but we're trying. She's so much fun to just watch and see what she is trying to absorb. It always seems like her little mind is constantly going. She brings so much joy to our lives.
