Well, Mireya has been doing some new things lately. First, she has been blowing raspberries with her tongue sticking out. She is so cute, unless she does it while eating pumpkin and sprays daddy with it.
She has also been singing (screaming) at high pitches. It's not loud, so it's very cute.

8 Months Old
Mireya will be 8 months old tomorrow. She is changing and growing faster than I ever imagined she would. She crawls really well now. We bought her a playard that takes up almost the entire living room and she loves it. She pulls herself up and walks around the whole thing holding onto the sides. She can't figure out how to get down yet. She fusses until one of us helps her. I have been trying to teach her to sit down, but I think it still scares her. She thinks it's great that she can crawl over to the cats. Poor Spartacus is going to have little bald spots all over if he doesn't learn to get out of the way.
Both of Mireya's bottom teeth are all the way in now. She started to scrape paint off of the crib, so we had to get crib protectors. I managed to find some soft fleece ones that tie on. They're fantastic. Now I won't have to worry about her eating wood like a beaver. I think she is working on some other teeth now too. Man, I was hoping to get a little bit of a break between sets of teeth, but I guess not.
Mireya has entered a delightful new sleeping phase. She has figured out how to throw a tantrum if she doesn't want to go to sleep. Ugh. I think we have outsmarted her finally, but it has been a rough couple of weeks. It seems like every time we get a great routine going, something changes. I'm crossing my fingers that we will always be able to stay one step ahead or at least adapt quickly. I guess that's what you have to do when you have a bright child.
Speaking of Mireya being bright, she continues to amaze me. She can point out everything in her little soft book. She will point to each of the little creatures and look up at me and grin. She mimics you if you clear your throat or cough. She can stand up with very little support. All you have to do is hold one little hand. She runs around in her walker like she owns the place. She follows you into different rooms and even runs on the carpet. She knows just how to hold her mouth when you put chapstick on her (I don't take the cap off.) She recognizes her toothbrush and opens her mouth. She can use a sippy cup fairly well. She knows who her Mama and Dada are and can call me. She can almost say Dada. The list goes on and on.
I'm so proud of you Mireya! You are so smart and you learn so quickly. I know that you are going to continue to surprise me. Don't tell your Daddy, but I love that you're a Mama's girl. You make me feel so special and I am so lucky to be your Mama. I love you Baby Girl!!!
