Miss Phoebe is eight months old
and learning and growing every second, it seems.
Phoebe is:
... dancing! She does this funny head-shake-into-a-shimmy and it's hilarious! She starts bouncing anytime she hears music, and can drop it like its hot in a second once she starts feeling the beat. She's so fun!
... working on her 7th tooth. Yes. SEVENTH. In the past month, she's popped out 4 more top teeth, and has one more coming through this week. She is a piranha. Or a shark. She has so many teeth! She does this clicking/grinding thing with her teeth that drives her dad absolutely bonkers. He can't stand it, and she thinks it's funny.
... eating all of the food. She loves everything so far, and like my other girls wants FLAVOR. She doesn't like plain rice, plain avocado, or plain bread. But add a little garlic salt, soy sauce or peanut butter and she devours it. Silly girl. She has gotten very proficient in using her little fingers to feed herself. It always amazes me how dexterous those little pincers can be so early!
... crawling! She is a quick little mover. She does a similar crawl to what Afton did at this age - a sort of side-winder army crawl, but half the time is up on her knees or planking and then what seems like sprint-side-winder-ing across the room. She has no problem getting where she wants to go, so long as she doesn't get stuck under the couch or behind a chair.
... growling. Branson has been teaching her to "use nice words" when she wants something, instead of squealing or screaming for it, which has resulted in a funny deep-throat growl when she wants more of something. She sounds like a little bobcat or the like and it makes me laugh every time!
Life is good with these girls!
