8 months old

I'm really not sure how this has happened. Not only is The Girl 8 months old, but she's SUPER mobile. If you could run when crawling, she's doing it. She can climb, jump up and down, and walk along the furniture. While she's holding onto the ottoman, she can reach down, pick something up, and stand back up again. She can drink a bottle standing up, move from ottoman to couch and back again, and she often uses our legs as a way to pull herself up. I don't mind so much, but Kyle doesn't care for it as he's usually wearing shorts and his leg hair is what she grabs.

Her two bottom teeth are in. She's been in pretty good spirits about it all, but it's been a lot of tylenol and motrin and chill pills. Has caused a tiny rash on her cheeks, which you'll see a little of below. The only issue seems to be in the middle of the night, which, for the last 3 nights, has involved SCREAMING around 2:30 in the morning. Of course, the week we went back to work. Couldn't have been last week while we were on vacation and could have focused without a good night's sleep? Of course not. What fun would that have been??

Oh yeah, and this is what it's like trying to get a moble child to sit still... Methinks it's time to find a different picture spot...

Finally a smile from our Sami girl...
