crazy eights

Charlotte is now eight months and crazier than ever!  She spends her days no longer cooing, but shrieking the words “dadda” and “hey”.  She can be heard all over the house and from several different zip codes.  While she plays on the front porch in her exersaucer she definitely knows how to use her outdoor voice.  When she is not making us laugh by her mighty pipes she is bouncing in her new favorite toy, the Johnnie Jump Up!  She spent most of months six and seven twirling like a ballerina, but one morning discovered the thrill of jumping!  She keeps her energy up by consuming her favorite foods of apples and sweet potatoes.
