8 Months Old!

Yesterday, Ben said "I don't want Callie to have a birthday. I want her to stay little like she is right now.". Me too, Ben! She is perfection at 8 months old. She is all giggles, smiles, high-pitched squeals and oh-so-sweet snuggles. She is a completely different baby now that she knows how to get around on her own(barrel-rolling!), sit up like a big girl and, her latest trick, self-feed cheerios. She's mastered SO much in the last 2 months it blows my mind. I guess that's what we can expect from here on out: rapid-fire milestones.

This post is about a week late, as Callie is recovering from Hand, Foot and Mouth disease and was a hot mess last week! She couldn't eat or sleep and was just miserable. She's feeling much better now, as you can see from her pictures:) Oh, and the peanut is weighing in at a slight 15lbs, 5.5 oz. She's so slender!

She was insanely cute during this photo session.

I guess she stores all her baby-fat in her sweet, chubby cheeks?

Single Ladies is her favorite song.
"All the single ladies/all the single ladies/put your hands up!"

She LOVES getting her picture taken. I would tell her to say ''cheese!" and she give me this cheesy grin and make the cutest humming noise. I swear, she understands me and was saying 'cheese' in babynese. She's that brilliant, yo. Oh, also notice the waving! That's her new fave thing, besides Cheerios.

I always think she looks just like Ben, until I see her next to Milly.
She's like the perfect mix of both of them!
