8 months

Elsa at 8 months (and a little more) is a joy. I've heard people mention favorite ages and I think this is my favorite age (so far). She sits up pretty well--and wishes she could stand, I think. She babbles and laughs almost all the time, kicks off her shoes and socks whenever we put them on and is just generally fun. She grows out of clothes almost as fast as we get them for her. At 8 months, I think Elsa's biggest wish is that the cat would come over and play with her, but alas, he stays pretty far away from her chubby little baby hands. Her newest thing (for the last month or so) is looking sideways at everything.
