8 Months Old!

Loralye turned 8 months old on Wednesday (CRAZY!!) and I forgot to take pictures. Shame on me, I know. We did happen to get some video on Wednesday though. For those of you who don't know, Aaron and I both work for Aaron's dad, so Loralye gets to go to work with me. We are moving to a new office in less than two weeks so we got a walker for Loralye to roam around the new office in. We decided to test it out with her in the kitchen to see if she'd like it. And of course, being the picky baby she is, she cried. However, we recently bought some Gerber cereal puffs and Loralye LOVES them. So here's what we got her to do for her treats...

A little bit quicker...

And now from further back...

Loralye does not like moving her feet. If we hold her hands, she'll stand, but she does not like to move her feet to walk, so this is quite the amazing feat for her! We just thought it was so funny that she would whine the entire time she was moving, but she was determined to get her "puffy treats." It's kinda like training a puppy :)

I had to share this picture because it's just too cute. Loralye is a major snuggler. If Aaron or I are sitting near her, she leans in so she can be touching us. If we're holding her, she'll run her hand up and down our arms. It's so darn sweet! So this picture is from Tuesday night. Aaron and Loralye were playing on the floor (yes, that is my nursing pillow around his neck!) and Loralye wanted to have a hold on Aaron while also having free arms to play, so this is how she managed it...

See her little legs wrapped around his arm? So cute :) Oh! And I also decided that I couldn't just not take 8 month pictures, so I took some last night. It was just about bedtime, so the photo session was brief, but I did manage to get one where her hands aren't in her mouth and she's not looking down at her toys! Go me!
