Annelise is 8 months

Today Annelise is 8 months old! She had a great 8th month too. She has mastered the skill of pulling up. Any time she can grab onto something now she is going to stand up. This morning I went to get her out of bed and she was standing up in her crib. Also, I have witnessed her standing on her own three times now! She usually pulls up on something and then lets go when she gets her balance. I haven't seen it last more than about 10 seconds. I think she will be walking before we know it. By request on Annelise's 7th month post, here is a picture of her play arena in the living room. You can also see how she is pulling up on the couch. :-)


So, Annelise is no longer interested in sitting in her Baby Einstien excersaucer. I think it is to confining for her now that she knows she has full reign of the house. Instead she enjoys climbing underneath it, lol.


Annelise is also showing signs of jealousy when we are eating and she is not. Here is a picture of her begging for Hannah's ice cream, lol. She now eats 3 meals a day; cereal for breakfast and a fruit and veggie for lunch and dinner.

Here is a picture of Annelise in Florida. I'll get on and post pictures of her swimming later, but she is in her cute leopard print swim suit here. She decided to climb into this basket herself and make it her boat, lol.

Other than all that I have to say that she is getting more and more interactive each day. It's so much fun to listen to her talk and scream and laugh. She is sitting on the floor by me right now talking to her baby doll, lol. Being a mommy is so much fun! :-)
