8 months

Kate is now 8 months old. She is so cute and fun. She is rolling all over the place. She is trying to crawl, she will get her knee's under her but then end up rolling over. She can sit up really well and loves to play with things sitting up. Her favorite "toys" are my phone, any paper that I am holding, or basically anything I have. She is happy and loves to smile and laugh especially at her sister. When Kate wakes up from her naps she looks around, like she is looking for Alyssa. It melts my heart watching them interact. I keep saying "Kate stop getting bigger". Alyssa responds "I want her to get bigger so I can play with her." My mom starting calling her Kate the Great, so now Alyssa calls her Kate the Great. If some one calls Kate some other nickname Alyssa says "Her name is Kate the Great." She grew another inch this month. She is now approximately 25 inches. (This is an average height for a 4 month old) At least she is growing. I take her in next month for her 9 month check up, we will see where she falls on the charts. She have gained weight, she now has some chub.  She eats well and isn't spitting up near as much. She is a good sleeper except when she is sick. (I wish her sister would learn this from her!) I can't get enough of her. She babbles a lot, she even says MAMA, DADA but not intentionally just babbles.
