8 Months Old



Samantha has become such busy and determined little girl. She has mastered the army crawl and has started to crawl part-time with her belly off the ground. She loves to crawl (chase) the dog and the cat. Sparky and Mox usually lay around the area Samantha plays, they let her just get within reaching distance before the move to another spot. I've been using signs for some of Samantha's favorite things and you can probably guess what her first sign was...Sparky (Dog). She loves Sparky, we'll see if that's her first word! She has been doing a lot of babbling with some ma and da sounds but I have yet to here a clear mama or dada. Although I see her mouthing dada the sound isn't there yet. We have been having such a fun summer and Samantha amazes us everyday with what she can do. She has such a great smile and is such a happy girl.
I let her sit in the shopping cart for the first time and she loved it, she was absolutely beaming with joy. She had smiles and giggles for everyone she saw. She even had a group of Macho teenage boys baby-talkin to her!
