Rylie (8mos)

Rylie, you're 8 months old and you still nurse. We are way less strict with your diet. You've had a Dumdum pop, pizza dough, cake icing (your Mumsil), cauliflower, mashed potatoes, and etc. So much so, that nobody can eat without you. You haven't much cared for what I make you in the mornings. I usually try to make oatmeal and mash up any fruit that we have. So far you are ok with the oatmeal and applesauce.
You shake your head no. And think it's funny.
You have a walker this month and was a seasoned pro in a few short days moving around. You started out just scooting backwards and now you move frontwards as well.
When we talk to you. You wait your turn and talk back.
You sing and coo all the time. You curl your lips in an "O" when you're excited. You still don't like to be down on the floor. I don't know if you'll ever crawl if that's your attitude. You hate for someone to get up and walk out of the room and leave you there. That will surely make you cry. You are tickled to see yourself in the mirror. You started to do it with Daddy first, but it's the same thing that Cailin did. We call it "the grabbies". I'll see if I can explain it; you put both arms out and move your fingers back and forth as to say "hi". I didn't believe your Dad when he said that you do it, but sure enough you did. You are definitely a Momma's girl. You are tickled pink at Cailin's antics. I think your thinking I can't wait to do that. When you see her jumping on the bed and such. You love playing with Ariel. You just kick and smile when she comes around. We love you sweet Rylie.
