8th Months - It's Summertime!


Lily had a great big month!  Here are some highlights:

-Lily is officially a mover - I could barley get a good photo for this blog post!  One day we even found her under the couch... we better start baby proofing now!:) She can pretty much move her body around into any position but is still learning to move those hands to crawl.  Crawling is just around the corner for her and I'm not sure we are ready!
-Lily has had many play dates this month.  We are very fortunate to have a lot of little siblings of Caroline's pals come tag along on play dates now!
-Lily has officially dropped a nap and is now down to two.  This makes our day a lot more flexible and Lily loves being awake and active during our morning outings
-Lily is eating breakfast and dinner and sometimes yogurt for lunch now. She LOVES to eat and is very good a picking up her food!
-Our family took a trip to Isle of Palms beach for Lily's very first visit to the beach!  She LOVED the sand and the water.  She may have even loved the sand a bit too much... wanting to eat every bit of it!  Lily also visited Grandma and Granddad's lake for first time.  She swam in a pool and liked it but definitely preferred mommy holding her while she splishspalshed
-Lily is officially famous for her "Chewbacca"/"Bird" noise.  Her throaty sound has evolved into a very specific Lily sound.  It's very entertaining and we've even captured it on camera to show her one day!
-The end of this month Lily stated to make the "baba" and "mama" sounds.  So that means her official "first word" is "Mama", which makes this mama a very proud one!  :)

Lily continues to be a very happy, content and easy going baby.  She adores her big sister and even let's her know when she frustrates her.  Lily is growing up so fast but is still our little peanut baby doll.  We love you Lily and look forward to many more adventures ahead this summer!
