Lexie is 8 months

I can't believe my baby girl was born 8 months ago. She is getting so big and is so beautiful and clever! Lexie has her fitting tomorrow for a baby modelling job she is doing. So cute, I can't wait to see the pictures after the shoot in a weeks time. She will be gorgeous - I have no doubt. She's so clever, she is now crawling everywhere, into everything, she also today figured out how to get onto her knees and pull herself into a standing position. She will walk before 12 months I am sure of that. Lexie can open the door on the TV cabinet, she figured out that if she pulls on the ring on the door that this will pull it open. I came into the loungeroom and she had Yahtzee out of the cupboard and was trying to get the box open. She waves hello and goodbye. She has started saying 'bubububub' which is so lovely to hear, i'm just waiting for 'mumumumum' which shouldn't be too far off. She has this funny thing she does when she is excited where she deliberately breathes really heavy and kind of burrows her head into a pillow or my shoulder. She has started doing this thing where she deliberately falls backwards into me to get a cuddle, my friends baby does the same thing, he's 18 months old, maybe she saw him doing it to me and figured she could do it too. She has a little friend Sammi who is 9 months old, she's a little marvel and it's so funny to watch the two of them crawling around together getting into things, they make us laugh so much. Lexie also loves to flap her arms around when she is excited and will squeal or make babble noises to show she is happy. The maternal health nurse said Lexie is very advanced for her age and is more like a child of 12 months old. Amazing. Okay so I am the doting mother but come on - my kid is a cutie patootie!
