8 Months Old

Anni cut her first tooth yesterday! Or possibly the day before, but I found it yesterday. She's already learning to bite. She got Kelly a few minutes ago when he wasn't paying attention to her. Apparently the funniest thing we can say is "Ow!" (She had help learning that one though.) Kelly yelped it when she bit him, and she just busted up into a fit of giggles.

She's grown in leaps and bounds during the last month. She still hasn't quite worked out the kinks in crawling, but she has no issues with rolling for what she wants. She's just the happiest, giggliest angel and charms everyone she meets. She's working on eating lumpier foods, but hasn't quite got the hang of chewing consistently. She likes little pieces of bread and seemed to enjoy the pieces of beet that I gave her today. We gave her Alaskan salmon, wild rice, and peas baby food the other day. She was a little iffy on it, especially after she forgot to chew one of the whole peas.

She loves piggyback rides. She'll get a big handful of our hair like horse reins and bounce and kick like she's riding. We're going to have an animal lover, without a doubt. She's a little like a puppy when she's happy and excited. Puppies wag their tails and end up wagging their whole body, Anni kicks her feet and bounces up and down. It's hard to hold her when she really gets going.
