8 months!

Little Miss Caylee continues to grow like a weed and keeps us all entertained. The girl is on the move and has convinced us she is ready to walk any time now with her speed and skills of cruising around the furniture. She always plops down and fakes us out but she seems so close. She loves pulling herself up on to everything and I think the kitchen chairs are her favorite.

Favorite spot

She is interested in all things her brother does and everything he has to play with. Let's hope she's not only into Monster Trucks and Ninja Turtles too! She loves her brother and he loves her. She thinks Aiden hangs the moon and he's the coolest thing since sliced bread. Aiden has to be the best big brother and takes such great care of her everyday. He wants her in his room as he plays, he carries her with him from room to room, and makes sure she is as happy as can be. It's wonderful.

Caylee has already become an expert in making messes and causing trouble. She'll disappear after the cat or just head back to the back of the house in search of "something" to do. She usually ends up back there and realizes she's alone and yells for someone, however every once in awhile it's just a little too quiet and she's found something interesting.

After the cat

Finally crawled into the entertainment center

Everything off the shelves

First night finding Tupperware cupboard

Found the dog bowl

As all kids do, she has come to love cause and effect. She'll sit with her back up against a wall or table and she will "bang" (tap) her head against the surface and just smirk at the feeling. Then you'll notice her try a little harder just to see how it feels. Then when we tell her to stop...she thinks it's funny. She loves to pull my hair to hear "ouch" and then she'll pull it harder to hear it again. She loves the word no and gets the biggest smile when she hears it. This is the exact smile I got right after she was told no to playing with shoes:

Miss Caylee already shows to have quite the personality, let me tell you. We even find her sometimes ignoring us when she hears us say her name and will start to smile but won't look at us. She bounces up and down to music but also when she gets excited. She loves her pacifier very much and we'd be lost without it. I feel like she depends on it way more than Aiden did...which should be interesting in the future.

She got her second tooth about a week or 2 after the first one came through and it hasn't been the easiest process. Teething is the worse! Here they are peeking:

Love those beautiful blue eyes! I could just eat her up!!!!
