Berit Eight Months (yes, already)

What does Berit do this month?

- Tries to wave, when coached and even then, I wonder if it is authentic.

- Sleeps great at night, then not so great at night.

- Takes regular morning and afternoon naps.

- Loves watching big kids.

- Adores her dogs.

- Fake clears her throat to get the attention of her dogs or papa.

- Sniffs like the dogs and scrunches up her nose (so so cute)

- Has almost perfected her pincher grasp and loves holding objects in one hand and passing to the other

- Pulls herself to standing all the time.

- Would rather be standing or walking with hands or jumping than just about anything.

- Does not crawl (yes, we know about the alleged correlation with reading.)

- Turns from table to parent and back (standing on her own)

- Loves going for walks (squeals in unison with the dogs' barks)

Sometimes she can't be bothered to sit still, even for a quick photo

Can be such a serious kid

So much taller than Wolfie!

On her own!

Ready to move!

One hand on momma and one on Wolfie -- seems steady...

Momma's two little babies

Yukon the protector and Lingo the best friend (Sitka is graciously allowing her tail to be the toy)
