month of milestones

February was a big month for us. As we rolled into the beginning of it, our little "slug baby" (Uncle Lamar & Aunt Jill's phrase for the infant stage) learned to sit up on her very own. She'd been a supported sitter for awhile, but it was so cool to see her manage it steadily without help. And, it makes for many more photo ops. How cute are naked babies?!

We took off on a long road trip to great state of Alabama to visit Drew's Mamaw & Papaw and Uncle Jon in Hunstville. She traveled great and had an incredible week. And, even though she started cutting teeth, she wasn't fussy at all!

Those 2 teeth, which popped through one day after the other, led to her first Biter Biscuit. Lots of fun...and mess.

She's also learned that rolling can be used as a form of locomotion. I can't capture that in photos very well & don't even want to begin to deal with uploading videos, but trust me it's a blast & it's changing the way we live. Who knew rolling could be such a fast way to get from one room to another? So, she had her 6 month check up (almost 2 months ago now) and weighed in just under 18 lbs & 28 inches. I wonder where she gets her height...

As we're approaching the 8 month mark, she really changes every day, all the time. I've been saying that for, oh about 8 months, but, it's still true. She loves to "talk" & her favorite babble is "da da". Does that makes daddy's heart melt or what? Who cares that she doesn't quite know it's his name she's saying.

Well, this is my afternoon off of mommy duty, so i better get on with enjoying it. Let me leave you with a few of our favorite faces as of late:
