oh, little arrow.

how are you almost 8 months?!

"dont blink, or you'll miss it."

i feel like dozens of people told me this & I'm over here "oh i won't (point & wink) " --- but clearly i didn't heed their warning, because here she is! an almost 8 month old. sheesh!

arrow is chewing on everything & i mean, everything. no teeth yet, but we will get there. 

rolling. and rolling and rolling. i call them flapjack rolls. front to back to front to back. she is an avid bedhead haver. it's quite possibly the cutest bedhead I've ever seen. we're into army crawling 

(no hands, all elbows & booty) 

always dressing fabulously. duh.

she's transporting food verrrrrry carefully from tray to her mouth by herself <<< she's really getting the hang of it!!

sleeping much less, partying waaaay more. 

waving hello & sharing her smiles with strangers. 

she crosses her ankles like a lady & can scream like an eight year old at a one direction concert.

she would eat yogurt bites for breakfast lunch & dinner if i allowed it. & out of all the toys in the world she loves the TV remote & crunchy water bottles the best. swinging on the swing set and saturday morning snuggles with daddy are pretty much guaranteed smile-fests. if I'm eating it, she wants to eat it too. abel is her best friend, he just doesn't know it yet. socks are the enemy & often end up in her mouth. 

her silly & sweet personality blooms more and more every day. the conversations we have, may sound like gibberish to outside ears, but they make perfect sense to the both of us. telling each other we love one another over and over again.

arrow, i love you so much you little wild child.
