As an 8 month old, Darby...
- has 2 teeth, both on the bottom.
- combat crawls like a PRO - she is so fast!
- takes a break from crawling by sitting. She still does her side lie, but not as much now that she figured out how to sit real quick!
- points at everything with her pointer finger.
- has eaten - chicken and beef - the real deal, and loved both!
- said her first word - "elmo" - we are pretty sure at least. I took a video of her saying it the other day, I'll post soon!
- LOVES elmo, to say the least. If he is on tv, she sits and waves her arms up and down, squealing. It's really cute.
- waves hi and bye.
- is wearing 12 and 18 month sized clothes!
- wants strangers attention, wherever we go! She is flirt and will turn around in her high chair when we are at restaurants to "chat" with people at other tables!
- is learning what "no" means. She has been trying to play around with the cable box and dvd player buttons. Every time I tell her "NO!" in a stern voice, she whines. I know she understands what I am saying!
- coughs if I cough. It is hilarious.
- is good at entertaining herself. It comes in handy when I want to shower in the mornings! I can just plop her in her playpen with a few toys and she is set!
- loves other kids. It's so adorable to see her interact with other babies and older kids too. She loves the neighbor kids (and they love her back!).
- loooooves listening to the Raffi cd we bought her on vacation. She will even "sing" along with us sometimes!
- get SO happy when she sees her Papa come through the door after work. Once he picks her up, if I try to take her from him, she leans towards him and wont let go. She loves her Papa!!
