8 Months Old!!

Catherine is 8 months old!!!  She continues to bring so much joy into our lives.  She is now eating solids every day and drinking lots of formula.  Catherine started sitting by herself several weeks ago and can get in and out of this position by herself.  She recognizes familiar people now and will squeal and laugh out loud when she sees them, especially Chloe.  She "combat crawls" everywhere and can get wherever she wants to go.  She will rock back and forth on her knees, but is not yet crawling on them. She is a very vocal little girl and has begun to cry whenever we leave the room, as she is beginning to demonstrate some separation anxiety. Catherine spent her first night away from us this past Sunday night as she stayed with Grammy and O'Pa.  She did a great job, but we sure did miss her!!
