8 Months Old!

As I attempted to photograph Hannah this month, I realized two things: one, she is extremely squirmy and won't sit still and two, no wonder they charge so much to take children's pictures - it is hard work!!! After TWO photo sessions...I did manage to get a few decent shots to post. As you can see, she is trying to escape!


So I opted for an alternative position (and a bribe of the phone) to keep her attention!


The biggest news to report is that Hannah finally has a tooth! It popped out over the weekend after much fussiness and many restless nights! Cannot report any crawling action...Hannah is much happier in the "standing" position and prefers to play holding on to whatever is near!

Likes:
Singing, whistling, clapping and music!
Babbling along while others are talking
Eating in her high chair
Snacking on puffs and mummum crackers
Playing with her sippy cups...hopefully she will see their purpose soon!
Her Leap Frog cell phone (we don't allow her to play with ours)
Animal sounds
Being read to...she is really into this Baby Einstein book called First Words but enjoys most books!

Dislikes:
Scared of bathtime in the "big tub"
Big crowds of people/too many new faces seem to overwhelm her lately
When she can't see/sense mommy nearby
Being cleaned up after eating in her high chair
Teething



Who needs TV when you have an 8 month old?? Not that there is much time for TV watching these days...luckily Hannah provides hours of entertainment! She is so much fun right now and her developing personality, laughs, and babbling "words" are the highlight of everyday!
