7, 8 and 9 Month Update

Time has really gotten away from me, so I have to combine Taylor's 7, 8 and 9 month updates into one post. 

During Taylor's 7th month, she went swimming for the first time, learned to say mama, learned to wave, and started riding in the grocery cart without a car seat. She loves elmo, ice cream, other children, talking/laughing at strangers, and anything that makes noise. 

In Taylor's 8th month, she met her Great-Grandma Jennings for the first time, and had a road trip to Wyoming. She can move from sitting on her bum to laying on her belly. She started clicking her tongue, clapping her hands and scooting backwards on her tummy. This was the month that we found out that she was allergic to certain sunscreens. She would break out in a rash-like mark on her face and get swollen. We switched to baby-ganics, and that does just fine. 

She loves ripping paper, bouncing on the bed, stuffed animals, her grand-parents, her cousins, cuddling, going outside, going on walks, baths, and people with beards, hats or glasses.

In her 9th month, she went camping for the first time and to her first parade. She is crawling now (just a few 

"steps" at a time), and can roll everywhere. She cries when other cry and HATES loud noises. She cries when we turn on the hair dryer, vacuum, or anything similar. She is starting to mimic Jeremy and I. She is getting pretty attached to me and gets sad when I leave the room.
