Annabelle is 8 months old!

This post is a bit late - we have been so busy this June! Annabelle turned 8 months old on the 18th and is just the happiest, most easy going baby. She reminds me so much of Lily at this age - so happy and social. She loves to crawl and has mastered the art of going from a crawl position to sitting. She was so proud of herself when she figured that out ☺️. We have to watch her like a hawk when she's crawling around - the child has a magnetic attraction to cords. She will find any cord in a mile radius and try to eat it. She's also fearless and will try to crawl anywhere - behind chairs, under tables. There's nowhere she won't go! Baby proofing became a number one priority this month! 

She is getting more used to solid foods now. Veggies are most definitely her preference, but she's tolerating fruits too. We didn't start any rice cereal with her until this week and she absolutely loves it. Just plain rice cereal with some breast milk mixed in - it's a big hit! 

We don't have a doctors appointment this month, so no official stats. Annabelle's wearing both 12 month and 12-18 month clothes, so we definitely know that she's growing away! Here's some recent pictures of our sweet girl:

Easter

This year, we got to celebrate Easter at Nana and Paca's house. We headed down the Saturday before so we could dye Easter eggs, eat delicious food and just hang out with each other. On Sunday, we had a yummy lunch with everyone and Lily got to have her own Easter egg hunt. I think she enjoyed it ;) She loved searching for the eggs and going through them all to collect her goodies.

NCSU Farm Days

I got a tip from one of my friends at work to check out the NCSU Farm Days this year. Every year, NCSU hosts the event and kids can learn how to milk cows, get up close and personal with some farm animals, check out big tractors and get free NC State ice cream. It was a lot of fun! The girls and I headed out on the last day and although it was a bit crowded, it really didn't detract from the fun. Lily had a great time and Annabelle seemed to enjoy hanging in her carrier while we walked around. She was passed out by the time we were done and back at the car! We'll definitely have to go again next year.
