Along Came Aubrey: 8 Month Update

Our sweet, little 2 1/2 week early baby is officially 8 months old today. Each month brings newer and exciting things for Aubrey. It is amazing seeing her develop each month and it seems that she is learning something new each and every day.

New developments for Aubrey this month:

Crawling. Only a couple of movements then sits on her bottom, but she is starting to. It won't be long til we are chasing her around.
Saying "dada". Hopefully "mama" will be coming along soon.
Sitting up in bed on her own. It is so cute seeing her sitting there in the mornings waiting for us to get her out of bed. She is getting so big!
Holding her own bottle. Well, only once in a while when she really wants to. Who wants to do things for themselves when someone else (aka Mommy or Daddy) will do it for you?
Shrieking in response to other shrieks. Absolutely hilarious! She must love the sound of her voice because she is shrieking and talking like crazy.
Likes pretty much all fruits and veggies. We will be starting meat soon, so hopefully she continues the good eating habits. Aubrey still does not like her green veggies, but will eat them when mixed with other things. Let the combo foods begin!
Sitting up in the bathtub and playing with toys. Aubrey has always loved taking baths but now they are even more fun since she can sit there on her own playing with her water toys.
Tooth - Aubrey's first tooth came in this month! She is no longer a toothless baby.
