Hilary has been a busy little girl this last month and keeping us on our toes. It feels really weird to have an 8 month old again. She’s growing too fast and such a joy in our lives.

Likes:

• Feeding herself.
• Sitting up and playing with books.
• “Dancing” in her highchair (moves back and forth).
• Being tickled.
• Seeing Daddy after 4-6 days of him being away – her face lights up, smiles and laughs every time!!!! Nice welcome home for Daddy!
• Watching cars go by – she laughs at them.
• More comfortable with her Grandparents, Aunts and Uncle (here) and skype with Nan.

Dislikes:

• Cold water: pools, beaches and lakes (dammit).
• Having toys/books taken from her.
• New people (had a family gathering a few weeks back and she wasn’t too happy about it).

New Happenings:

• Saying “mumm-ma” and “oh – wwwaahhhhhh”.
• Putting her feet in her mouth.
• If we ask her where is Lilly, Daddy or Maclean are and then she will turn and look at them!
• Responding to her name being called.
• Feeding herself peas.
• New food: yellow beans, blueberries, apricots, potatoes, parsnips, watermelon, kamut puffs.

We’re moving on:

• From pureed food to eating small pieces of food by herself (peas, bananas, watermelon, and kamut puffs)

And from the start:
