Makenna's 8 Months Old!

Makenna turned 8 months old last week.  She has gotten to be a really happy baby! Makenna used to be so sober faced, but now she can light up a room just like Denver. All of us must have gotten sick of being snowed in, Makenna included as we went to the mall the day after Christmas to get out of the house and she was smiling and talking to everyone she saw, which she used to never do.

As I've been compiling this post in my head I've been trying to come up with what Makenna is up to this month and this is what I've come up with:
    -in the last week or two she has learned that she LOVES to stand and wants to almost all of the time
    -learning how to take some steps when her hands are held or stands behind her little walker
    -dance to music
    -make different noises with her mouth
    -learning how to clap...we've been working on this and no she at times claps her one hand on top of the other (palm to top of other hand)
    -still loves to eat! (really not a picky eater at all and will eat anything you give her) She likes chunks of food, but hasn't refused her baby food yet (she some times whines because she wants what we have instead of hers, but will still eat hers). Makenna would like to be part of the dinner table (not in her high chair), so that's on my to do list in the next week or so...find a booster seat for her!
    -has learned that she likes cold milk in her sippy cup! (oh...my little girl is growing up!)
    -practicing on learning how to crawl...she sits on the floor and walks her hands out real far to grab things, but doesn't put her knees into it yet...if you try to show her she gets mad which is fine with me because I'm not ready to run after 2!
    -GROWING, GROWING, and GROWING! Makenna is wearing 9 months and 12 month clothes! She doesn't like being covered up with her "bundle me" in her carseat so we've tried putting her snowsuit on her, but then she doesn't fit! That's on my other to do list...go pick out the next car seat.
    -wants to be able to keep up with her brother...Makenna watches Denver and wants to do what he's doing...she loves her big brother and he loves her...its fun watching them "play" together
    -is still a Mommy's Girl!!
