8 months old...today!

Today our sweet little angel is 8 months old!

I cannot believe it...before we know it she will be 1.

She is changing SO much right before our eyes.

I just want her to stay little forever... She is so sweet and fun.

I remember it just like yesterday when she was born. She seemed so tiny

in my arms and now she is growing into such a big girl.

I can already tell that Christmas is going to be very different this year

with little L around. She has already made things much more " exciting"

this year.

Here are some things we don't want to forget about you at 8 months...

* the way you have started to clap and patty cake. it is so cute to see your

sweet little chubby hands do this. you clap and say "yay!" i think you liked being

clapped for so much you decided to start doing it for yourself!

* the way you have started to pull up on everything! i know for sure you will

be walking before you are 1 ( that is a scary thought)

* your two very sweet little teeth. they are so cute when you smile!

* the sweet way you cuddle with mommy and daddy in the mornings or

at night when you are trying to go to sleep. it just melts my heart sweet little

girl.

* how much you love hair. i know it is kind of strange but you do! one of your favorite

things to do is to get on daddy's shoulders and play with his hair. it is so funny!

* the sweet babbling that you have been doing. i just love the sound of your sweet

little voice. you have starting saying bye bye and sometimes waving with it.

how sweet you are...

* how much you love our Jack. every morning when we go into the kitchen you crawl

into the laundry room to visit with your sweet puppy. i know Jack loves it too!

* how much you love the outside. this is one thing that ALWAYS makes you feel better.

My sweet Ellie Reese...I love you more than you will ever know.

Here are some pictures from this morning checking out our Christmas tree.

It like every time she sees it she is seeing it for the first time...

She really likes the ornaments and the string of red balls...

It is so fun to watch her...
