Ollie @ 8 months

Ollie-pop! You are 8 months! You are moving around girl. Shifting your body and getting from point A to point B. No crawling yet, but soon enough!

Let's see, some facts:

You love mom's homemade squash!
You have tried small pieces of french fries, peaches, even...maybe...a small taste of chocolate cake:/ (I just had to...?)
Your dad wants me to write on the blog what your name was going to be...so we don't forget to tell you....Rue! We were going to name you Rue but the Hunger Game series came out and that name became pretty popular...so we switched it to Ollie!
This month you got sick for the first time:( You had the flu, then gave it to mom. That was appreciated. So my sick days at school are already in session!
You are starting to hold your arms up when you want someone to pick you up. Daddy loves that. You also like to clap and wave your arms around like crazy when you are excited! Like when mom picks you up from daycare! Yipee!!! Mom has been sad lately because she has to drop you off at daycare:( So she is loving you like crazy when you get home every day!
I always do a cheer for you. At least once a day and you love it. You can go from crying to laughing in a second flat.."Her name is Ollie, (yeah), and she is cute, (yeah), and she is fun (yeah), and she loves her mom (or dad or whatever I want to put there) (alright alright alright)"...I know this doesn't make sense to the blog readers...ha. You probably are just shaking your head at me. But this is so I remember. Because I forget lots. And I'm 28.
Dad always says "Rock n' Roll" and bobs his head back and forth and then you always bob your head back and forth! ha. It's hilarious!
Transitions...next week you are heading to the transition room at daycare. Ah! Getting so big. You tried it today and weren't the biggest fan. ha. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
