Lily is 8 Months Old!

Big Events: 

• 1/7 - 7 Months old!
• 1/10 - Spent the day with Grammy and Grandpa DeWaard so Mom and Dad could go see the Book of Mormon.
• 1/11 - I can crawl with my belly up! I still prefer my army crawl though. 
• 1/17 - I'm big enough to ride in the shopping cart instead of my car seat.
• 1/18 - Went to Hilton for the first time for the Beauty and the Beast!
• 1/19 - Paxton started coming to daycare again
• 1/21 - I got the second half of my flu shot
• 1/27 - I got sick for the first time - throwing up was really scary. 
• 1/29-30 - Mom and Dad got sick too, so Nana Sherry came to get me so they could rest. 
• 2/3 - I can pull up to standing
• 2/7 - 8 Months Old!

Typical Daily Schedule: 
I don't really have a typical schedule since I was sick. It's close to the same as last month but I change up the timing for my naps about every day. I can't decide if I want to keep taking 2 naps a day or switch to one, but Mom and I are both not ready for only one nap!

Things I Love:

• Anything Paxton is playing with
• My sit and stand
• My remote from Nana and Papa's old TV
• Playing in the bath
• Socks: Mine, others', on feet, off feet, doesn't matter. 

This Month's Milestones:

• Belly up crawling
• Pulling up to standing
• Steps while holding on to fingers
• First trip to Hilton to cheer on the Cyclones
• First time being sick 

Highlights of the Month:

• I'm making taking my weekly pictures extra difficult for Mom and Dad now. All I want is to get that chalkboard!
• I discovered that other rooms in the house exist and want to explore all of them! The heat vent in the living room is also fascinating. 
• We cheered on ISU to a win over the Jayhawks from home and then went to Hilton to watch the wrestling and gymnastics teams win during the Beauty and the Beast event. 
• I want anything and everything that Paxton has. It breaks Mom's heart a little to see that sin nature so clearly, even at only 8 months old. 
• I'm learning that people still exist when they leave the room and it's making being put down for naps and bed really hard for Mom and Dad. When I wake up from my naps in the afternoon I look for Dad and get really sad when he's not home from work yet. 
• I hold on to the armrest "handles" on my car seat when we drive.
