8 Months Old

Accomplishments
* She loves to help me feed her. Every time we sit down for a meal we get about half way through and then she wants to help. She tries to take the spoon and just makes a MESS. Zac was feeding her one day and when she grabbed the spoon he told her no. She just burst into tears.... Looks like she already knows what to do in order to get her way!

* Ayla has started crawling and is really mobile! For a long time she was only backwards which was super silly! She can get anywhere she wants to ... especially when it's something she isn't suppose to get in to. On Thursday, 9/12 she crawled forwards for the first time! We are so excited that she is able to get where she wants to go. The smile on her face is worth 1000 words. She just loves life!

* Ayla said her first word! 'Dada"! It actually was more of a "DaDD".. emphasis on the last D but is so cute! She just says it light and under her breath but it adorable!

* Little missy has started pulling herself up onto furniture. She hasn't pulled herself onto her legs yet, just her knees but absolutely loves it! She just laughs and laughs as she tries to get up onto her feet.

* She loves any cereal as long as it has cinnamon in it. She absolutely LOVES cinnamon. She also loves Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin & Spinich, and her Daddy's sweets.

* She absolutely does not love her greens but will get her Garden Veggies down. She
