7 Month Wrap Up

As I was sitting on the couch today watching Teagan. I think back on the last month as she will be 8 months old tomorrow (the 20th), and so much has happened. I almost can't believe it all.
 
 First Teagan is crawling, yes life as I know it is over.  She is dang funny to watch. Basically she pulls herself with her arms, but gets up on one knee to sort of help the process. When she gets to the desired location she squeals out with glee knowing that she is there, and is so proud of herself. 

Here she is loving pulling down the dvds, and what does a first time mom do... Grab the camera and document her first mess. So cute, now it's time to see what other trouble she will be able to get herself in.

Second she sprouted her two new friends, her teeth. You have to look carefully but on the bottom there they are. She loves to run her tongue along them, bite fingers, necklaces, toys, books, her dad's face, hair. Well she did before, but now it hurts. 

Thankfully they busted through close together so our teething days didn't last very long. At least this round of teeth. 
Lastly sass, no she is not a monster just getting an attitude. Basically she dares me to take toys away from her. The wrath/screams soon follow. Really what's a girl to do. She works so hard to get to stuff, and I just take it away.  If I could only learn to keep things out of reach that she can't have we would have less tude and more giggles. How great is this picture angry Teagan so funny. 

With all the highs and lows I still love watching Teagan grow and progress. There is nothing like experiencing these milestones with your own kid. I LOVE being a mom. Even when Teagan falls off the bed twice in one week, and I feel like I've totally failed her. Well I guess this is the month of a lot of firsts, sorry Teagan that falling off the bed had to be part of them.

I hope it's not too stalkerish that I'm reading your blog... But flip, that girl is gonna be a heartbreaker.

I love her hair. It is my favorite part of her.

Shan can relate on the falling off the bed phase. She will tell you funny stories about it. So don't feel too bad.

I am glad you like being a mom. I am getting excited to start that process someday sooner than later. You will be able to show me the ropes.

Love this post.
She is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

Yes, I have a few falling off the bed stories. And so far both my kids have fallen down the stairs -- JUST ONCE EACH though. And the best thing? no matter how bad we feel, they still love you/me/us!

ALSO LOVE THOSE BABY LEG WARMERS. THEY ARE MY NEW FAVORITE BABY ACCESSORY.

Teagan is SO cute. I would love for you to donate some hair product. I'll call you later this week. Thanks!
