Here is sissy at 8 months old...can't believe she was ever this little!

Maes -
Mommy has really been so awful at updating your monthly milestone blog.  I feel terrible about it and I also feel like there is no way that I am updating months 7 and 8 and you have already passed months 9 and 10.  I can honestly say this year has been the FASTEST year of my life.

Here are some of the amazing things you were doing in month 7 and 8:

• You weigh 19.4 lbs.
• You have both of your bottom teeth.
• You started rocking back and forth on all fours and we just knew crawling was sure to happen soon!
• You are the smiliest baby on the planet and smile SO big in the morning when you wake up and we pull you out of your pack and play.
• You still sleep in our bedroom right next to Mommy...I can't seem to handle letting you sleep in your own room yet.
• You started saying Dada and Daddy could not have been more excited.  You have not stopped saying it since!
• Your hair is starting to curl up a little, and even though you have a lot less than your sister did at this age I know it is going to be just as long and thick as your sister's!  Mommy's arms are going to be very tired brushing all of that hair every morning!
• You discovered Elmo and I think those people at Sesame Street must really have that voice down to a science because as soon as you hear Elmo on the TV/computer you immediately turn to see it. You are captivated by him!
• You LOVE your sister and smile the biggest and laugh the loudest when she is all up in your face trying to be funny.
• You are not a fan of getting into your car seat and you always try and sit up and roll out the side when I am trying to buckle you in.
• You haven't developed stranger anxiety yet and will pretty much still let anyone hold you or talk to you. You are such an easy going baby.
• You have about 100 nick names: Maes, Mae Mae, Booze, Boozey, Boozerelli, Boozarino, Maesers. The list goes on and on...even Say joins in and calls you many of your nick names. You are going to be so confused once you understand the concept of what your name is.

I love you more than I ever thought possible my Mae Mae Doss.  You are just the best baby and have brought so much joy and laughter to our already amazing life.  Things are only better with you!!!

Love you most,

Mommy
