8 Months

This month has been very exciting!  This month you started to army crawl and say Dada.  You have made so much progress already Daddy and I are so proud of you and your new developments.  In just two weeks you have went from only going 2 feet and now you will crawl around your whole playroom and into the living room.  It won't be long before you are into everything.   This month you also were really sick for the first time.  I felt so helpless but thank goodness you are finally better.  Daddy and I love you so much!

Events: We started the month off by ringing in the New Year.  You were asleep at midnight but Daddy and I snuck into your room and kissed you at midnight.  We also helped cousin Walker celebrate his 1st birthday.  We attended cousin Alivia & Kinsey's basketball game.  You liked all the people at the game but the buzzer upset you.  Last weekend we headed to Indy for a quick visit with Grandma & Grandpa Strobel.
