8 months old!

I cannot believe my little baby is already 8 months old! I haven't been able to post as much on here lately because she keeps me busy! She is a crawling expert now and standing up every chance she gets! She is the most precious little thing I have ever seen in my life <3

At 8 months old Lakelyn is doing everything a baby her age should be able to do including:

bear some weight on her legs when held upright
feed self a cracker
rake with fingers an object and pick it up in fist
turn in direction of a voice
look for a dropped object

She is also doing all the things a baby her age will probably be able to do including:

pass a cube or other object from one hand to the other
stand holding onto someone or something
object if you try to take a toy away
work to get a toy that's out of reach
play peekaboo
get into a sitting position from stomach

Lakelyn does all things that a baby her age may possible be able to do including:

creep or crawl
pick up a tiny object with thumb and finger
pull up to standing position from sitting
say "mama" or "dada" indiscriminately

Lakelyn can some of the things that a baby her age may possibly be able to do including:

play patty-cake (clap hands) or wave bye-bye (she knows how to wave bye-bye but usually chooses to smile and laugh instead, she also claps her hands together unless you want her to do it)
understand "no" even if she doesn't always obey it.
stand alone momentarily

she cannot walk holding onto furniture/cruising (I am posting this 8 days after she has turned 8 months old and she has started doing this, but I will include it in her next month post)

She still loves to take baths and will go crawling straight to the bathroom when she hears the water running
we have officially taken her baby seat out of the tub
She loves standing up
she smiles constantly
She loves looking at herself in the mirror or phone or anyway she can see herself
She is super photogenic
She still does not have teeth
She still does not like to get dressed
She does not like putting a diaper on

We celebrated her First Halloween. She dressed as a witch in a little witch hat headband, black onesie and black pants. We pulled her around the neighborhood in her wagon.

She also went to the pumpkin patch and picked out her first pumpkins and we carved them. She loved playing in the mess and tried to eat it. She carved a Minnie mouse!
