Find Your Happiness

Amelia turned eight months old yesterday! She is growing up so fast and even said her first word ! Just like her older brother, it was "Dada." At first it was just babbling but she is definitely using it now correctly. She has since added "Mama" to her vocabulary, too. Nathaniel is working hard on teaching her how to say "Kuya" but we told him it may be awhile before she can say that. Amelia has not figured out crawling yet. When I place her on her belly, she still pushes herself backwards or goes around in circles. She tries to go to crawling position when sitting up but hasn't quite figured out how to move her other leg so it is not stuck underneath her. Amelia also still only has two bottom teeth. Sometimes I wish that is all she will have because they are so stinkin' cute when they stick out  when she smiles . If you noticed in the photo with her stuffed bunny, Amelia's hand is in her mouth.

Nathaniel is eight months old today! Nathaniel is finally sleeping in his own room and through the night (down by 8:30p; up around 7:30a)! Nathaniel is still not crawling but he loves to pull himself up although he is still requiring help with balancing. Nathaniel has four teeth total (three at the bottom, one at the top) and eating solids is a hit-and-miss--sometimes you can't give it to him fast enough, other days he clamps his mouth tighter than a vice-grip. All three of us are going to Indiana in less than a week and Nathaniel is looking forward to seeing his Great-grandma and Great-granddad Smith for the first time! He loves to growl!
