madi moments ~ 8 months old

Madi turned eight months old today. Here are some of Madi's new milestones we have experienced this past couple of months:

She is becoming quite the speed demon in her "car walker". She follows us all around the house and chases the dogs all over the place.
Can now sit unsupported, leaving hands free for another activity. In fact, she lunges forward onto floor from the sitting position.
Begun creeping backward or forward by pulling herself along with her strong arms on her tummy and her kicking legs drag behind or what we better call in our house as "army crawling". She is everywhere! We are not sure we are ready for full mobility.
Reaches and grasps a toy using her fingers rather than the palm of her hand. Will shake, bang, poke, push, squeeze, roll everything.
Enjoys splashing toys in the bathtub.
She doesn't stay still anymore. It is nearly impossible to change her diaper or change her clothes.
She has two full grown baby teeth on the bottom in the middle. And one has broken through on the top.
Madi can stand while holding onto someone or something. As a matter of fact, she'd rather stand. It is more fun. She first pulled herself up on our couch one Sunday morning. Josh nor I could not believe it.
She knows her name when you talk to her.
She has two latest expressions -- one is sticking out tongue making a pffff sound. The other is growling at people and things. Both are hilarious and adorable.
