Judging by our monthly portraits, Katie hasn't changed a lot over the past few months -- she's still sitting up, not crawling yet, no teeth. Actually, she's changed a ton.
Katie's having a great time eating now; we just had to figure out what foods she likes. When we give her something like yogurt, she barely swallows before opening her mouth and sticking her (really long) tongue out for more.
Just in the past week, she has started rolling like crazy. She can flip herself from her back to her tummy in a heartbeat and roll across the room in no time. So far, she doesn't seem to have a goal in mind. She's just doing it because she can.
We couldn't keep Katie on her back for this picture; she kept rolling over.
She's also getting ever more stable sitting up. While she still sometimes topples, especially when she's rocking forward and back because she's excited or happy, she can also reach out and catch herself.
And she's working her way toward her first word. Her favorite syllable is da, so we think DaDa is just around the corner. Here she is, gazing at her favorite guy.
P.S. Katie's official eight-month stats are 28.25 inches, 18 lbs., 5 oz.
