Mommy bias

This past weekend, we made a family trip to the mall. In almost every store we went into, the same thing kept happening! People would smile, do a double take or even stop dead in their tracks just to get a look at our girl. She gets attention! Now, I know most Mommies are biased. And (most) rightfully so. But, this behavior just reaffirms my belief that my baby girl is one of the most beautiful babies ever born. lol Add to that  she's very quick to give you a toothy grin....let's face it, you're helpless against her powers. What's not to love? One elderly lady couldn't help herself from squeezing her cheeks. She wouldn't leave until she got a giggle. Then she walked away smiling and saying "That's my girl." Excuse me?! No, that's my girl!!

8-months-old

I know everyone says this.... I can't believe how fast this kid is growing up! I get it now. Where did the last 8 months go?! She'll be a year-old in 4 months. Wow. It's crazy how fast time flies when you're going non-stop for 8 months straight. No wonder I'm tired. I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to be home with her during this time. Everyday is truly an adventure. Yes, some days are better than others but for the most part, Isabel is amazing. I love seeing things through her eyes. Everything is new and awe inspiring. (the remote, the doorbell, whistling) I think we lose sight of that as adults. The world can be a wonderful place. The better to bite you with... So, this month we hit a few big milestones: She's FINALLY sitting up, she now has 3 teeth and she took her first real crawl-y steps. Oh God...she's mobile. Let the baby-proofing begin.....
