The Beach

This last weekend was one of the nicest weekends i can remember outside of August in Oregon. So beautiful and warm.
We had planned to go to the beach with Andrew's family to celebrate Mother's day a little early, and to celebrate cinco de mayo.
The past few times we had gone to the beach with Dani it had been pretty cold, or she was sick so this was the first time she actually made it down to the sand.
She was not too sure what to make of the fact that every time she would try to pick it up, it would disappear out of her hand, and I was shocked that she never tried to put it in her mouth.

She also kind of started to crawl this weekend. She gets on to her hand and knees, but she sticks one leg straight out to the side and kind of uses that to stabilize herself and propel her forward. It still takes her awhile to get to where she wants to go, so we haven't started the baby proofing frenzy yet.

8 Month

Milestones:

• She is rolling all over the place and will go from her stomach to a sitting postion
• She will get up on all 4's and rock back and forth but hasn't quite made that crawling movement yet.
• Dani will eat anything I give her. All Fruits and Veggies and even those disgusting pureed meats. She also is loving crackers.
• Her two bottom teeth have poked through, they are not all the way in but they are through the skin. And true to form i did not even notice. She never once indicated that she was in pain. My little champ
• Her new game is the "uh-oh" game. She will throw her toy or drop something and look at you and go "uh-oh." Andrew says that she even sounds sarcastic when she says it. Mama's little girl:)

We went camping last weekend for the first time with her. She did great, although she was not to happy about having to sleep in the bath tub.  We forgot her pack n play and the camper has a little bathtub but it was not much bigger than she is. She likes to be able to roll around in her crib so she was a little cranky.
The weather was great and it was fun to just get away for the weekend. I see many more camping trips in our near future.

Off to the beach this weekend for Cinco De Mayo/ Mother's day
