Little Miss. Independent

8 months!

Noella is eight months old now and looks like a real person! Sounds strange but true. She doesn't look like a baby anymore but a person. I cannot believe how much she has grown and changed since her birth eight months ago. She is amazing!

She is so independent, too independent. She is eating finger food on her own and gets mad when we try and feed her from a spoon. I still have stocks of homemade baby food and purchased jars of baby food that she refuses to eat. She also doesn't like walking while she holds our hand anymore. She would much rather do it herself; either crawling or walking while holding on to some inanimate object. Little Miss. Independent. She is taking baths in the big bathtub, sitting in highchairs and eating the same food as us at restaurants and successfully using her sippy cup. It is amazing and very humorous just watching her play and explore in our living room. If only, one page from a magazine could entertain me for multiple days.

I love her everyday just a little bit more than the day before and at the same time cannot comprehend how I could ever love anything more than I love her right now. It is amazing the capacity you have to love a child.
