Emma :: 8 months old

Dear Sweet Emma James,

You are 8 months old! This has been such a fun month and we are loving the precious little girl you are turning into. You are so interactive now and watching you try to play with your brother is so sweet. I can't believe we are 4 months from your 1st birthday!

You are so very close to crawling. You start to move your arms but can't quite figure out how to move your legs at the same time. I know that you will be so much happier when you can crawl!

Bows are such a battle these days. Ha! As soon as you realize that there is one on your head (which is almost immediately after I put it on) then you rip it down and start eating the bow. I'm not giving up though. :)

You still don't have any teeth. You are constantly drooling and have something in your mouth. I know as soon as your teeth start breaking through you will feel so much better. 

These crying pictures just break my heart...teething is just the worst! You are loving any toy you can put in your mouth. Your favorite toys are Sophie and the colorful ring toy. You also play with any of your big brother's toys until he notices. :)

We are so in love with you sweet girl and we are so thankful that we are your parents. God has blessed us more than we could have ever asked or imagined. 

Happy 8 months sweet girl!

Love,

Mommy
