Emmy at 8 Months

I must admit that I am super late writing this post. As I type this, Emmy just turned 9 months! I will do my best to remember what she was doing at 8 months. I plan on doing a big 9 month post in the next week or so.
The biggest change for Emmy at 8 months is her mobility! She is crawling like crazy and is very fast! She has also mastered standing and pulling herself up. She will stand and lean against almost anything. I think she is going to start moving along furniture very, very soon. The last few days she has even started to hold on with only one hand. Her mobility has been a challenge. It is hard for me to get anything done because I have to constantly look to see what she is doing. That girl can get into mischief in a matter of seconds! Her favorites are pulling out all of the cookbooks in the dining room and finding shoes. Today she pulled open all the drawers in the China cabinet. She is a fast one!
Emmy continues to be a champion eater and she loves to feed herself. She really doesn't care for purees much anymore. She would much rather feed herself. We eat almost all of our meals at the table as a family, so I think she likes feeling like she is one of us. I usually am able to just cut up what we are eating into tiny pieces and she goes to town. She is very messy, but she does a great job feeding herself. She can eat a lot of food! She sure likes to eat!!!
Emmy continues to be just the sweetest girl in the world. She has such a fan club with her siblings and cousins. They constantly fight over her. Once a day, one of the kids will tell me how much they love Emmy. I agree, she is pretty great and such a happy and sweet little girl!!!
