Anna is 8 months!
We are 75% or 3/4 of the way through our first year with Anna. We are getting so close to her one year birthday!! She turned 8 months on Friday.
Anna has REALLY been changing lately. Here's what has been going on:
She now STANDS up in her bed. She is pretty proud of herself. She can also stand up in her pack-n-play and using the couch.
She is making more efforts to crawl, but not officially crawling. She goes backwards a lot.
She is taking 2 naps these days. After 3 pm, the girl will not take a nap. Bedtime at 7 or 7:30 usually.
She is pointing at things now. I think its because I always point at things for her to see.
Her tongue stays in her her mouth much more now. Sometimes she puckers her lips, which is soooo cute!
She likes sweet potatoes now! We got a rice cooker/steamer, and she really likes the consistency of steamed foods.
She really loves taking baths and splashing around!!
She weighs 20 lbs 12 oz (found out at her allergy testing appointment :) ). She is 27 inches long.
Also, we went to have Anna tested for allergies on Tuesday. I've suspected a milk allergy for a while. She had testing done, and it looks like she may be allergic to egg and peanuts. Her skin reacted pretty severely to those two. Now, we will get a blood test to confirm. There is 50% chance that she may not be allergic, and the blood test will help us know. The doctor thought she probably has a milk intolerance, which is like lactose intolerance in adults. Soooo, I'm glad she isn't allergic to milk, but eggs and peanuts?? Those seem to be in everything...I will update after the blood work results come back.
It has been amazing watching her grow! And God is also growing me... in patience and reliance on Him.
Thanks for reading!
P.S. She usually wears clothes, but I couldn't resist taking these pictures before her bath the other night. She's so cute with just her diaper!!

Chinese New Year and Random Pics...
Here are some pictures from the last month or so. We took Anna to her first Lunar New Year event on campus, which was hosted by the Chinese student group. She accidentally wore a tiger hat (it is the year of the dragon...)

Anna got a lot of attention at the New Year celebration. Even though this sweet lady did not speak English, her smiles and games with Anna were the same as ours :). It's amazing how babies light up a room!
We need to adjust the crib
So, yesterday after church, we laid Anna down for her nap. We heard some fussing for about 5 min, and then nothing else. Josh went in to check on her after a while. He called for me to come look at what he had found. (I tried to get a picture, but she is too quick).
Anna was sitting up in the corner of her bed reaching through the slats of the crib touching the fan on the humidifier (the place where the mist comes out). She wasn't in any danger (Thank the Lord!). I'm just not sure how she sat up and got in that position. I think she must have rolled on her tummy, got on all fours, and then sat up and wiggled to the corner. I think a new chapter is beginning... we are definitely going to move the mattress down in the crib!
Here are some pictures from after the incident. She was all smiles, and I couldn't help snapping a few pics. We still made her take a nap after this, but we couldn't help wondering if she was just sitting up playing quietly, faking a nap.
