8 months!

Ellison is now 8 months...

• Still has only two bottom teeth
• Can pull herself up at a very fast speed
• Will walk around her crib while holding onto the rail with one hand
• Attempts to stand without hands, but only lasts for approximately 1.5 seconds
• Super Crawler - has discovered that crawling is much faster than standing and then falling backwards, which was her previous method to get to the other side of her bedroom. It was rather funny, she would pull up onto something and then push off, landing in the seated position about a foot and half away from where she started.
• Can say the following sounds: da-da-da, ba-ba, rolls r, ca, ma ma, ti ti (for Tim Tebow, her super hero)
• Points at everything (this is a new one).
• When we say Bella, Ellison will look down on the floor for Bella and point to her.
• Feeds herself Gerber finger foods and is very interested in what Graham and I are eating.
• Oh yes, this is a big one... Aunt Ashley has taught her to use objects to stand on and crawl up onto things. Thanks, Aunt Ashley, we appreciate that one.

Happy 8 month Birthday, Little "E"!
