8 Months

WOW! 8 months!

Month 7 was full of milestones. I feel like I say that every month, but this past month seemed the biggest by far. Lilli cut her two bottom teeth in one week, mastered her army crawl and quickly went into a full crawl, mastered pulling herself up and walking along the edges of the furniture, and is still making great strides at standing on her own. She's also learned to clap by herself (of which she is most proud), mastered her pincer grip, is feeding herself snacks, and has even climbed stairs (yes, we quickly remedied that with more gates). We're so proud of our big girl and how quickly she is learning things! She is such a little sponge! I'm sure that month 8 will be just as amazing and that in her 9 month post I'll be saying..."Month 8 was full of milestones" yet again!!

Ocean City, MD

Over the long holiday weekend, Lilli and I took a girls trip to Ocean City, MD. A few of my girlfriends and one other baby went along for the trip as well. We rented a beautiful condo right on the Boardwalk in Downtown Ocean City. The location was perfect and very family friendly! Lilli loved every minute of the trip, right down to the sand and splashing around in the pool! She was such a good girl! My girlfriends and I decided to take a nanny along so we could also go out and play, which was such a great idea!

Also while we were gone, Lilli had her first tooth cut through, which was very exciting. She is now also budding her second bottom tooth! Ryan stayed behind and was able to get a lot of the house projects finished or nearly finished, so it was nice to come home to some much needed changes. We're happy to be back home with Daddy and enjoyed our first trip to the beach!
