Piper Ann ❤ 8 months

8 months all ready?! Craziness.
Miss Pea is such a sweetie! She's getting bigger, and more mobile every day - she's so fast crawling everywhere! She gets into everything, making messes and trouble, but amazingly (and wonderfully!) she leaves the Christmas tree alone!!! Yay!!!
Her first tooth is just popping up so you can see it when she smiles - very cute! Her 2nd tooth seems to be taking its time, which is just fine with us. Teething was not fun!
She's pulling up on everything, walking along everything, waving and clapping, and she says hi, daddy, mama, isaac, sissy, and kisses!

first tooth!

We've had some sleepless nights with a teething little Pea... who's not quite as sweet when she's screaming at 2am! I tried to get some photos to show her poor little gum. Easier said than done, but I got a couple that show it, and a few cute shots to boot.



see that bump in there?


...
It's been about a week since these photos and the tooth is through - not quite far enough to see in pics yet but enough to feel when she decides to bite your finger!
