Hello and Happy New Year! After a difficult week, we are happy to report some of the many exciting things that Miss Rose is up to. On the 15th, she turned 8 months old. It seems like yesterday that she was born. She has starting crawling from room to room and she is a non-stop babbler. She also has 4 teeth now! Her top 2 came in over the last week and she was remarkably good. She continues to enjoy trying new foods and has mastered getting those puffs into her mouth. She enjoys holding her own sippy cup and thinks she can feed herself by holding her own spoon. What a big girl! She has transitioned into her 12 month clothes. We go for her 9 month wellness checkup next month to see how she measures up. She is certainly thriving, and growing fast! We can't get enough of those adorable cheeks.

Favorite toys-She still loves her jumper, walker, play kitchen, Little People farm, anything Elmo, Cookie Monster, or babies. She loves reading and must turn the page herself :) She loves lights and music and mirrors. We are working on her athletic skills as Uncle Chad got her a great new sports station. She also enjoys playing with her plastic cups and enjoys her bath time books! Everything continues to go in her mouth and I catch her smelling things a lot too. There is so much to discover and she doesn't want to miss a thing!

Favorite foods-Anything with pears is still at the top of the list. We've added meat blends at dinner time and she has done well with chicken and turkey. She is loving yogurt and we are even able to sneak in some broccoli, peas, and spinach in different mixes. What a good girl!

Rose is a such a sweet and good natured baby. She will pretty much give a smile to anyone who shows interest. What a little ray of sunshine for us all to enjoy!
