Vera’s Eight Months Old!

April 19, 2011 by Aliesha

she can stand!
fell asleep in Grammy’s arms at the zoo

 Vera is eight months old today.  The months are flying by faster and faster!

still loves her blue swing on the porch
 

Some milestones:
-pulled herself to a standing position
-recently has been trying to stand up without holding on to anything
-will take a few steps around something (like a chair or bench) while holding on
-crawls super-fast now
-has two teeth
-bounces when she hears music or is excited about something
-likes chasing the kitty
-still sucks her thumb
-weighs: ? (I need to check!)
-loves picking up puff baby cereal and putting it in her mouth
-enjoys going on stroller rides
-is still a cuddle bug
-got a new nickname from Daddy: “Vera Boo”
-visited a zoo
-climbed two stairs at Grammy’s house

This last picture is my favorite!

And who thinks she will be walking by nine months?

    Love those chubby little legs!

    Maybe she’ll be walking by 9 months, maybe she won’t! 🙂 Paxton was pulling up and standing at 7 months and here we are a few days past his first birthday and he wants nothing to do with walking!! He’s a cautious firstborn I suppose!

    Happy 8 months to sweet Vera!!

    Happy EIGHT months, sweet girl! You bring joy to all who know you! I love the photos of you with the azaleas and the sweet one of you sucking your thumb in Grammy’s arms. Have a great day with your dear daddy and mommy!
    Love all three of you!!!
