Selah!!!

Dear Selah,

Oh my child! You are too much! Seriously, I don't think I've met an 8 month old baby with so much personality. On April 2nd you took your first bath without your baby bathtub and then on April 4th you began crawling "for real" - you had been inch worm crawling for a while, but now you are taking off and you can get across the entire downstairs in about 3 seconds flat. You have found Tucker's water bowl and continually make a "b-line" for that. You are even starting to pull yourself up on the stairs and the couch!

You have learned to sign "daddy", "all done", and "more" and now you not only ask me for more during meal times, but you sign it frantically right before bedtime. You are already stalling and you are only 8 months old!!! :)

Over the past week you have now officially hit the over 12 hour sleep mark! Finally. You started sleeping 12 hours at 4 weeks old, but then back in November you started waking up all throughout the night. You have gotten a lot better since I switched you to formula... and you usually only wake up once around 6am, but for about a week now you have gone from at least 8pm-8pm if not 8pm-9am. You have also just now started taking a morning nap along with your afternoon nap! What a blessing!

Such a tender brother/sister moment!

Selah's first bath without the baby bathtub!

What a beauty!

Big girl bather!
Crawler!
You also are starting to pick fights with your siblings. If someone takes a toy that you were even looking at you break out into a very loud and dramatic cry. And no matter what toy Havana or Jonah might be playing with - you insist on crawling over and grabbing it out of their hands. Sometimes you do it very boldly and other times you do it very sneakily. You want to be wherever they are, but you like to stir up trouble. Sneaky little girl. I love you so much!
