at 8 months Anna...
got her first bruise (she face planted on to a hard surface)
is really good at sitting up
makes the funniest growling noises
slept 14 hours the other day
LOVES LOVES LOVES to swim
is scooting around like a champ 
(why do we want babies to grow up? they are so much harder to watch!)
says (unintentionally) things that sound like "dada" and "Anna"
switched to a different carseat
knows what she wants and goes for it
LOVES vegetables
loves tags and fabric
(she will find the tag on anything and start eating it)
is an adventurous little spirit
eats everything!
went on her first camping trip (and did great for all 3 days!)
yells at you if you aren't looking at her
responds to her name
pinches hard
has more hair!
loves to sit and play with toys
talks all the time (during church)
chews on the pointer finger of her right hand
has a little shy side
loves to climb up people
gets excited, opens her arms and leans when she wants somebody (mostly me)
breaks into random songs
plays independently very well
knows her feet but doesn't love them
had her very first experience with a non family babysitter (7-10-12)
looks more like her dad everyday
wouldn't sit still for the picture
giggles when playing the "chase"game
is a very happy, smiling baby 98% of the time
Moves ALL. THE. TIME!
