lily: 8.5 months

you are: giggly, long, chunking up, adorable, snuggly, determined, fascinated by your sister, curious, and in love with big people food.
you can: crawl, pull yourself up on furniture, clap, wave hello and goodbye, sign "more" and "all done", and give kisses.
you say: mama (when you are mad), dada (when you are happy), and ball.
you love: halle, halle, and more halle, chasing halle, mickey mouse, balls, chewing on spatulas and rubber spoons, eating whatever is on mom's plate, and the hanging mistletoe.
you hate: getting dressed, getting your face wiped, green vegetables and rice cereal with no fruit.
you have: two little teeth on the bottom, the most adorable ears, the sharpest scratchiest grip, and the best smile.
unique about you: you were congested for about two months which meant you didn't nurse very well and slept awful. we figured it was just a cold, but it wouldn't go away. the doctor discovered you had an infection in your nose that caused your nasal passages to swell. There was barely any air coming through your nose making it hard to eat and sleep. antibiotics cleared it all up and you sound much better. your spitting up and reflux has practically ceased, but you still need to be propped up and sleep with mom.
