Things I learned about the baby this week:
1. Halloween is full of cute. It was a lot of work, but on the upside, I don't think she minded her costume at all.
2. Mali likes pickles. I eat a lot of sour things myself, so maybe that's why? She sucked on the end of a pickle my mom gave her until almost nothing was left. She didn't even make a face.
3. My baby thinks I'm funny. This is quite an accomplishment, since I don't normally consider myself a comedienne. James is the funny one. But Mali laughs at everything. She's so sweet. Big chuckles until I think she's going to lose her breath. We like to laugh in our house.
Yesterday was Mali's 8-month birthday. It's so hard to believe! She's beginning to think about scooting or crawling, though she's still not super happy about being on her tummy to practice, and I'm okay with having her in one place for a little while longer. It's also starting to get a bit chilly here, and I had to share her cute mittens and cozy boots. She has a new hat I knitted, which, if I do say so myself, really adorable. I'll try to get a good picture of that this weekend to share, because not on her head it isn't nearly as fun.
