Eight Months Old

My baby girl turned 8 months old this past Saturday!  We weighed/measured her at home and got 19 pounds and 27 inches.  Not sure on the height... at her appointment 6 weeks ago they measured her at 28 inches, and I really don't think she's shrinking.  It must be because the lay her down and we're standing her up?  Unfortunately we both worked Saturday, so we didn't get a chance to take pictures until right before bed, and somebody was not very happy about it.
She has been learning so many new things, and it's finally decent weather so we can do more with her!  She has got her crawling down pat, she's like greased lightning if you let her roam free.  She still has not learned, however, that sometimes the shortest route is not always the fastest...
Or for some reason, she just really likes playing with the kitchen chairs.
She can play pretty well by herself now.  She will just go right to her toys and start taking things out of the basket. 
She likes to play with Miller, too.  She doesn't know the difference yet between her toys and his.  Or their food... she managed to get a piece of his food in her mouth today before I could get to her.  Yuck! 
Of course, clean up is eay when it works the other way around, and Miller eats her food.
Another new favorite thing to do is to make movie piles.  She'll take them out, and then when she gets bored with them, I'll put them back, but as soon as she sees me doing that, then she'll just start over again.
This is how we found her the other morning when she woke up...
And this is how we usually find her sleeping...
She is growing up so much!  She is such a happy baby, and she's finally getting a decent head of hair, although it's so light you can't really see it in pictures.  She is such a cutie!
