8 months

Nora is 8 months as of Monday...craziness!

She's as cute as ever and is showing increasing signs of imminent mobility. So far, she can scoot backwards on her belly (she tries to scoot forwards but still moves backward...frustrating, I'm sure), gets solidly onto all fours and rocks back and forth and now can pull herself to standing (with some help) and stand on her own holding onto something (see below)!

I can't remember if I ever posted on here that she's been making the sign (ASL) for milk - that started about 3 weeks ago. It's really adorable...I'll have to try to get it on video. Now we're working on the signs for food, book and more. And, as of Weds., she waves hello and bye bye!

Speaking of books, this month Nora has really started to enjoy reading, which is a real joy for us. She always liked books, but was more interested in eating them than reading them - now she'll look at and touch the pictures and loves to turn the pages. It's really cute.


This one is blurry, but you can still make out that dimple!

Yummy blueberries...
