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?
