We are 8 months


Presley turned 8 months old yesterday. What a big little girl. It is hard to believe we have made it to this point. I remember planning our Christmas vacation and thinking, Presley will never be that old. She is so yummy right now. Here is what she is doing at 8 months
Standing up on everything
Will let go of things and stand for 30+ secs.
Trying to move between furniture
Plays peek-a-boo with whoever will indulge her
Will look for Ben and Abby when you ask where they are
Now stands on ONE LEG when her daddy holds her up
Still squeals loud enough to pierce your ears

Presley also has had her first full fledged cold. We really weren't too concerned until her cough moved down into her chest and settled there for 5 days. Wow, she sounded horrible. So, on her 8 month "birthday" she spent the morning in the ER just so they could listen to her little chest. All was clear! Good news. Oh, and those teeth I blogged about before, not in yet! We are a little stubborn in the teeth area!!! Go figure!

Presley is doing so well. She can't wait for Christmas to be here so she can experience all the food, family time and gifts! Dallas and I couldn't be more blessed and have never experienced a greater joy than being parents to Presley. It still seems so surreal that she is ours. We can't believe what a sweet baby she is and what a great personality she is developing. We love her so much. Thanks to each of you who check this blog. I know you have to put up with mostly blogs of Presley but it is our way of celebrating God's gift to us with each of you. Thank you!

She is so cute! It is crazy how fast time flies!! I remember always thinking that Ella Claire will never be "that old". Now she is going on two years old and I can't belive it! Love you!!
