At 8 months old Roslyn has acquired lots of personality. She is a girl who wants to do it on her own and knows what she wants. But what she wants is to sit on one of our laps at all times while playing. She's always close by but now that she has become quite a good crawler she's beginning to venture off toward something that catches her eye. Mostly she seeks something she can use to stand up, whether it be sturdy enough for the task or not. She also likes to practice standing in the middle of the night while calling out to us, we are attempting sleep training which means no ones sleeping.
She is also teething, again! She is cutting her 5th & 6th teeth right now. So many for such a little mouth.
She has chosen a small hippo stuffed animal as a favorite and it is pretty darn cute how excitedly she reaches out for it. It seems to soothe her a bit when she's fussy. But nothing gets her going like some good music playing and dance moves that include an upside down dip. She likes big motion. Such as at the playground she likes swinging but only if it's high. She loves being pushed around in the cars but giggles out loud when you go fast or swerve. I think we're in trouble when she learns how to climb.
Roslyn is a happy little girl, happiest when both Josh and I are with her at the same time sitting on the floor with her. We're still learning about each other and it still feels like we don't know what we're doing at all but man is she cute!
