8 Months Old

Karissa was 8 months old yesterday. She still isn't officially crawling yet although she does seem to get around the house very well. I'm really not sure how big she is these days, we go to the doctor in a few weeks. She is still in her 6-12 month clothes, 9 month sleepers, size 3 diapers, and size 3-4 shoes! We had her fit at the shoe store for a pair of Robeez and yes she would need the 12-18 month ones!! I don't know where she gets her big feet from! She is becoming even more vocal and a swear that I can hear mama and dada when she is babbling. Her hair is thankfully starting to grow, and now she can wake up with bed head!! (The 1/4 inch of it) She is very opinionated and knows what she wants and when she wants it. We are starting to teach her sign language, but she hasn't picked up on it yet. She doesn't ever want to be left alone and will scream the second you leave the room and then stop and smile at you the moment you come back for her. yes we are playing a lot of peak-a-boo for her to learn that mommy is still here just not in front of her. I think that is all I have to write about for now. Hopefully I will be able to post soon that she is crawling, but maybe she'll go right to walking who knows.
