8 months

8 Months!
This picture was taken the same day as the video below, and it totally shows her personality these days.
At 8 months, she is trying to be very independant. Wants to walk, pulls up on everything, and is starting to state her opinion more and more. She doesn't like when you tell her no. She knows when she's headed some where she's not supposed to be. When I say her name she just crawls faster! LOL
She believes she can do it..whatever "it" maybe.
She plays with her toys and will keep herself entertained for quite some time digging through her toy box and playing with everything.
She still thinks Patches is just the funniest thing she's ever seen and continues to laugh at her all the time. She' s loving that now she can try and chase her, but Patch is just too fast :( She and Patches are having issues with whos toys are whos. Sami want Patches ball and Patches wants Sami's fishy. It's a struggle to keep the proper toy in the correct mouth, lol.
She's been "talking" non stop these days. She has just mastered "Da Da" so that's pretty much all I hear all day long, lol. She loves "Da Da Da Da, Ma ma ma, and Baba bbbbbaaaaaaa!" and she's learned how to screech like all little girls do so that is a favorie noise for her too.
She pulls up on anything and everything she can get her hands on and is starting to cruise all around. We got her a walker, but she doens't quite get it yet.
She is also VERY tickelish these days. Her neck her belly and her thighs are all high tickle areas, and her feet too, oh and back, and armpits...ok she's pretty much tickelish just about everywhere! her little giggles are an amazing source of happiness for all who hear them.
She is in love with her big brother and spent the majority of the weekend staring at him. Anything he says or does is funny, and she just lights right up when he looks at her. She literally will just sit in one spot and stare at him. It's pretty funny.
here's a picture of the two of them watching the Superbowl last night.

I'm planning on doing some 8 months pics of her, but just have to find the time. Hopefully I'll get to it this week...
