8 Months Old

We've had a crazy week -- a vomiting virus followed by a little diarrhea and I'm cutting my first tooth! Hopefully we're over all of the sicknesses so that I'm healthy for my first Christmas.

Pretty blue eyes
Mommy was making oreo truffles and decided
to let me try the inside filling of an oreo. I loved it!

Play Date with Parker

Last Saturday we went downtown Chicago to spend the afternoon/evening with our friends Tracy, Chris, Parker and Dakin. Here are some photos from our time together.

Checkin' each other outCome on Parker, you can do it...just move this leg.

Why does his hand look so different from mine?

I seem to enjoy doggies much more than my mom does.

Reading, Crawling, and Santa

Enjoying my Curious George Hide-n-Seek book.

I scooted from my blanket into the kitchen.

I was wanting to help cook dinner. :o)

Again, scooting around!

A trip downtown Chicago

Last Saturday, we went downtown Chicago to celebrate Grama Penny's birthday. We had lunch at the Walnut Room, did a little shopping, looked at the window's at Marshall Field's (or, uh...Macy's), and enjoyed some Garrett's popcorn.

We had a table that was right by the tree in the Walnut Room.

I was mesmerized by all the toys and lights on the tree.

Merry Christmas!Enjoying a sip of my daddy's eggnog latte.

(just kidding, it was all gone.

Mom and Dad say I'm too young for that stuff)

It was a chilly evening. Rayna's all bundled up in her stroller.

Fun with a Santa Hat

Worm Crawling

Rayna is so close to crawling. We captured her little worm crawl on video. Enjoy!

I was trying to crawl into my car seat.

Typing my first letter on the computer.

I zonked out while playing with my toys.

Just put my head down and went to sleep.

Mom and Dad were proud of me!

Fun times!

Mommy and Daddy are having so much fun with me in this stage right now. I'm discovering new things and very into all of my toys. I interact with Mom and Dad so much with smiling, giggling, and chattering. I'm rolling and scooting everywhere. :o) I was playing with my toys on my blanket

and when mom looked over at me,

I had scooted myself over to where I am in this picture. :o)

Just plain cute!

Standing up on the chair...can you believe it? Adorable...
Don't you just want to hug and kiss me?
