8 Months Old

This month I really started to explore my surroundings. I try to grab anything within arms reach (which is pretty far, you should see how flexible I am) and try to roll, scoot, or arch my way around the room. I haven't figured out that crawling thing yet, but I've been spending a lot more time on my tummy and building up my arm muscles so it won't be long. Mommy and daddy need to start baby proofing soon, just yesterday I found a fun electrical cord plugged into the wall to play with. My favorite game is banging things together - anything I can get my hands on and most recently just my hands (who knew you didn't need any toys to make loud noises!).

On the down side, I got sick for the first time this month (but recovered quickly). My mouth also hurts a lot. Mommy thinks its teeth, but they never show up - they just make me drool a lot and bite on everything.

We're seeing the first signs of spring in Oregon and it's been nice to get outside. We go for walks around the neighborhood with mama kitty and yesterday I played in the yard while mommy and daddy washed the car. Oh speaking of cars, we got a new one and I moved into my big girl car seat so I'm riding in style now.

I also helped Pappie and Judy celebrate their birthdays this month and gave lots of loves on my first Valentine's Day.
