8 months old!!!!

Kamri turned 8 months old on January 9th!  I can't even believe that I have an 8 month old!  She has done and grown SOOOO much this past month!
- Loves shredded cheese, cucumbers, oranges, sippy cup with juice, crackers, cookies, mashed potatoes, peas- pretty much anything that I eat, she wants to eat too!
-Had her first popcicle
-Had her 1st Christmas and New Years!
-Loves books
-Holds her bottle all by herself
-Loves music
-Loves watching the baby channel......"Squeak" is her favorite show, she gets so excited
-She LOVES her baby dolls....she gets so excited when she sees them
- She loves watching videos of herself, she just laughs and smiles
-She has learned to feed her food to the dogs....she thinks it's funny when they lick her hands...drives me crazy!
- She claps all by herself.  Anytime we say "YAY" She claps, she even claps when her Daddy tells her to clap
-She met Kasey (one of my best friend's) for the first time!
- She has kind of begun the whole stranger danger thing, she's not really sure of people she doesn't know and sees all the time.  Usually if her Mommy, Daddy or Grandma is around, she's fine
-She met her cousin's kitty for the first time
-She gets herself to sleep by not having to rock....I usually just lay her down with her bottle and turn some music on and she falls asleep, and once she is asleep I take her bottle away
-She had her first cold  :(  Poor baby....I got sick at the same time and it was soooo horrible!  I felt awful and I'm sure that she felt the same as me...but all she got was Tylenol.  She absolutely HATED it when I sucked her snot out, but it had to be done, otherwise she couldn't breath at all.
AND,..,....
-SHE'S CRAWLING!!!!!  She did the bear crawl for the first 2-3 days, and then all of a sudden she just crawled normal and she thinks she is SOOO cool now, she can get around anywhere she wants.  She has found the door stops and how they make noises....she hasn't gone to the stairs yet, but that's just going to be a matter of time, gotta get a couple baby gates!

It was SOOO hard to get a good picture with her bear this month! She is definitely on the move!




The only way I could get her to sit still was to tell her to clap...this is her mid-clap!  

Here is a little video of her crawling (hopefully it works!!).....man, she is SOOOO dang cute!!! I just love my little princess!

Baby Hands.....

So, I never really paid attention before I had a child of my own how busy baby hands are....grabbing things they shouldn't and everything they should.  How soft and cute they are....how many lines and creases there are, how they are one of the biggest things babies explore with.  Everything they touch seems new, even if they have seen and felt it a hundred times.  I could seriously kiss Kamri's hands all day....the cutest baby hands ever!!





Baby's First Christmas!

We had a busy Christmas!  It seemed like we were on the go almost the whole time.  We spent the majority of it out in Caldwell at Cj's parent's house.  Good food....and good company!  I love the holidays!




























Christmas Morning





 She was more interested in the bows



 Cute, new, warm hat!


 Cj's new home theater system he HAD to have...




We had a fun Christmas and Kamri got spoiled!   It was so much more fun buying things for her.
