8 month birthday

21 July 2011: Rosa is 8 months old!
Highlights:

• Crawling and Standing! She is army crawling around with a vengeance and able to pull herself up to standing onto furniture. Gotta keep an eye on this cookie!
• Eating: Rosa has become a very good eater. She is eating all sorts of fruits and vegetables. We even started her on little puffs which she works very diligently to pick up with her thumb and forefinger...not an easy task! She also loves water and has such a satisfied expression on her face after taking a sip.
  
• Hamming it up: Still quite the social butterfly, Rosa still loves to make people laugh and smile with her silly facial expressions, babbling, and dance moves.
• Laughing: This baby does not want to miss out on the fun. When she hears us laugh she will often join in even if she missed the punch line!
• Techny: This girl knows how to use technology! She has really begun to recognize people on the computer. When we FaceTime with family she likes to talk and laugh along.

On her birthday we went to Santa Cruz with some friends for a windy but eventually sunny day on the beach. It's a good life!
