7 Month Wrap Up

As I was sitting on the couch today watching Teagan. I think back on the last month as she will be 8 months old tomorrow (the 20th), and so much has happened. I almost can't believe it all.

 

 First Teagan is crawling, yes life as I know it is over.  She is dang funny to watch. Basically she pulls herself with her arms, but gets up on one knee to sort of help the process. When she gets to the desired location she squeals out with glee knowing that she is there, and is so proud of herself. 

Here she is loving pulling down the dvds, and what does a first time mom do... Grab the camera and document her first mess. So cute, now it's time to see what other trouble she will be able to get herself in.

Second she sprouted her two new friends, her teeth. You have to look carefully but on the bottom there they are. She loves to run her tongue along them, bite fingers, necklaces, toys, books, her dad's face, hair. Well she did before, but now it hurts. 

Thankfully they busted through close together so our teething days didn't last very long. At least this round of teeth. 
Lastly sass, no she is not a monster just getting an attitude. Basically she dares me to take toys away from her. The wrath/screams soon follow. Really what's a girl to do. She works so hard to get to stuff, and I just take it away.  If I could only learn to keep things out of reach that she can't have we would have less tude and more giggles. How great is this picture angry Teagan so funny. 

With all the highs and lows I still love watching Teagan grow and progress. There is nothing like experiencing these milestones with your own kid. I LOVE being a mom. Even when Teagan falls off the bed twice in one week, and I feel like I've totally failed her. Well I guess this is the month of a lot of firsts, sorry Teagan that falling off the bed had to be part of them. 

Hug It out T.

For those of you that know Teagan, you know that she doesn't hold still. Especially, when you try to hug her. When she was just days old, I would cherish the moments when she was sleeping for many reasons.  The main reason I valued that time is because I could actually cuddle with her. A few day ago, the unthinkable happened. I don't know if Teagan was just really distracted for a few minutes or if she really needed her mom, but it happened. I picked up my rambunctious 7 almost 8 month old, and we stood  in the kitchen hugging... I loved every second of it and at that moment life was perfect.  Thanks Teagan, I forgive you for the 14 disgustly colorful diapers you did later that day.
