8 mo. update

Natalie is 16.2 1/2 pounds, and while she may seem like a light weight, she is definitely not lacking in the chubs and rolls department! She still has no teeth. She is getting up on her hands and knees but has not crawled forward. While she doesn't seem too interested in crawling yet, she wants to stand and walk all the time! Her favorite thing to do is stand at the coffee table.

Or holding our hands. She is getting very brave and will often hold on with only one hand.

She also loves to stand in her crib!

She is trying to pull up on everything. She has pulled her self to a stand a couple of times at the coffee table and her crib.

We've lowered her crib a notch and had to remove the bumper because she was using it as an accomplice.

This girl may very well walk before she crawls or otherwise, crawl and then within weeks start walking!

Her hair is growing in more. We are starting to see more of a will and a 'tude, especially when we ask her to give up something to us that she wants, ie. the TV remote or the phone. But overall, she is still the same sweet Natalie. Each stage of independence has been fun. I look forward to seeing her toddle across the floor but I'm still enjoying exactly where she is at today and taking advantage that my infant is still immobile while I still can.
