Little Carmen is now 8.5 months, and I can't quite believe it! She is so much fun now, always super jolly and in a good mood. She does get around quickly (sometimes even crawling properly!), but she does like to get under my feet when I'm in the kitchen. When I'm at the stove she'll shuffle up to me and press her head between my ankles. I'm not the most graceful of women, so I'm doing my best not to step on her. This morning I left her in the living room with her toys, and a minute later she was gone. I went looking for her only to find her on the other side of the house in my studio - not a baby-safe place to be! So, I have to start watching her like a hawk. She has a couple of tricks up her sleeve - she can high-five, and she can give kisses (by keeping her head very still - she seems to like the open mouth variety). I am also teaching her to find my nose, and to wave, but both of those seem a long way off. However, I will persist! She is still sleeping wonderfully and eating outrageously. She went to the doctor's last week and got weighed and measured - she is now in the 50th percentile for weight at 8.4kg, and in the 95th percentile for height at 73.5cm! She can't possibly be my baby!
