8 months

Addie, you never cease to amaze me. You started doing so many new things this month. You wave bye, say " bye, bye," stand while holding onto something, pick things up with your thumb-finger pincer grasp, indicate wants with gestures, say "mama" or "dada" to the correct parent, clap, and play peek a boo. You started sleeping through the night a few days after you turned 7 months old. We stopped waking you up and it only took a few days for you to start sleeping through the night. You also got two top teeth this month. You are so fun to be around and are always laughing and smiling. You are such a relaxed baby and love to sit on the floor and play. You are an absolute joy to parent!
