Olive Stats- 8 months

December has been so busy that it took me awhile to remember that Olive passed the 8 month birthday!  It has been a big month for her.  She is a crawling machine now and she can also pull herself up.  We had to lower the crib.  The living room and dining room are carpeted, so she spends most of her time in there.  If she notices the gate isn't up, she makes a break for it and crawls all around the main level.  She thinks it is really fun to pull herself to standing on the bottom stair.  She also loves to walk if you hold her hands.  She is a pro at feeding herself table food, even though she still doesn't have any teeth.  She also enjoys eating paper and complains loudly when Mama takes it away.  Olive lets us know her likes and dislikes with squeals and groans.
