8 Month Pictures...Belated posting

Riley is so amazing at this age! She is totally crawling and is no getting on her feat and bear crawling (no knees)...almost ready to walk, I'd give her four more weeks and we may be seeing a first step. Riley has also started eating finger foods on her own and loves the independence of feeding herself...carrots, green beans, bananas, strawberries, peaches, cheerios (her fav at the moment). She is also starting to sign to us, her first sign was "milk", pretty amazing that she can tell us what she wants at this young of an age. She is also babbling mama and dada...we think she has started to make the connection because mama is spoken when she is tired, hungry and needy and dada is spoken when she is playing and happy (apparently the way she recognizes our roles as parents right now).
