8 Months Old!

Embry is 8 months old! She has recently started crawling, and since then has decided she needs to walk. She has been pulling herself up to things, and holding on by just one hand. Yesterday she was feeling especially daring and she let go of the foot rest she was holding onto. She stood for a second by herself (just long enough to get a huge grin on her face) then she tried to take a step and she face planted. She was so pleased with herself that she didn't even cry, she just rolled over and pulled herself up again. Also yesterday she tried to follow Elijah up the stairs. She made it up onto the landing, and was thinking about the next step when I caught her. I think it is time to get a baby gate. Emme has become quite the talker. She will talk to Elijah and I from her car seat while we are driving. She likes to call out "Mama," just to see if I answer. She likes to sing to the radio with us, which is way funny. She has opinions now, and she lets us know that she very strongly feels they should be considered. Overall though, she is amazingly easy going, and very calm. She waves hi now by putting her fist in the air and twisting it. She especially likes waving hi to herself in the mirror. She LOVES Elijah and has to be involved in everything he does.
