Bristol is 8 Months

01/08/11

Dear Bristol,

    You turned 8 months today and we couldn't be more ecstatic. We love you so much and are loving this time with you. You make us smile every time we look at you. Your personality is showing through now and it's so fun to see. This month brought so many changes-

Weight- 19.1 lbs    Height- 28 in

• Your 7th tooth came in on December 23rd. You have been teething a lot lately.
• You are scooting around so much now.
• You took 2 1/2 crawls on this month and are so close to crawling away.
• You broke your first item in our house- a lamp- that was the same day you crawled for the first time!
• You are so cudly this month- We are eating it up!
• You make this shy face when we catch you doing something- It's so stinking cute- You put your hand up to your mouth like you are trying to hide something!
• You had your very first Christmas- You loved the wrapping paper and bows, of course!
• You are so close to pulling yourself up to stand.
• You are rolling around everywhere- this is your preferred mode of transportation.
• You are clapping your hands now and get excited when you do so. 
• You love playing patty-cake with mommy.
• You love to sing songs and clap your hands.
• You are now in a toddler car seat- no more infant carrier for you- your legs were hanging off.
• You are a great sleeper and eater- you love all the new foods you are getting to eat.
• You give great slobbery kisses- I love them!
• You are starting to dance with the beat- It's amazing that babies just innately know how to dance.
• You are not shy with anyone- we can hand you off and you love to get to know new people.
• You still jump with loud noises- sometimes you cry. 

Bristol, you are changing so much as each day passes. You are growing up way too fast, but this is by far the most fun we have had with you. You love to interact with us and be in on all of our doings. I love that you are so in tune with us and your surroundings. This month has brought so much joy to our lives, especially spending your first Christmas together. You are such a sweet girl and we love you so much. 

Love always,
Mommy
