8 months old today!

Yes, that sweet little angel you see in that picture, she's 8 months old today!

Here are 8 things that I love about MY sweet Reese:
1. Love when she claps - it's adorable. She does it 'on command' now - even accompanied by a 'yyaayy'.
2. Her new wave, isn't so much of a 'move your hand wave', it's just a 'stick your hand up wave'....but it's TOO cute! She does that at appropriate times now as well!
3. If you make a funny face at her, she gives this little giggle that will just tickle your insides! It's precious!
4. I love that she looks so intently at you when you're trying to teach her a new word. We've been working on 'dada' for forever now. But, we're now working on 'ball'. She just looks at your mouth and moves hers as if she's trying to say it.
5. She can now stand in her crib. And I love it after she wakes up from a nap (not so much in the middle of the night) and is standing just looking at the door waiting on us to come in.
6. I love it that she now has 'separation anxiety'. She doesn't want to leave her moma and/or daddy. As much as it breaks my heart to see her cry because we've left her in the nursery, it also does my heart good to know that she loves us!
7. When she's pulled up to standing at something around the house (read: everything!) and can't quite figure out how to get down, she just reaches out her hand for us to help her. It's the sweetest thing.
8. And last but not least, I love her because she's mine!

I'll finish the post with some random pictures from the last few days. Enjoy!

Clapping her hands in the tub

One of the many new sites around the house at Christmastime! Notice the tree on the coffee table - we're trying something new...we'll see!

Waving at mommy

Mommy's sweet blue-eyed girl. As I was looking at this picture, I noticed how cool her eyes are shaped...I love it!

She likes to get rrreeeaaalll close to the TV!
