8 month picture

(one day I'll get around to posting all her "month day" pictures on here...she has changed so much!)

Little Ms Brinlee is 8 months old already!! I can not believe how fast it is going by. She is crawling like a champ, pulling up and waving bye bye. She also says "bubba" and "da da". Her other two top teeth are coming thru also. So she now has 4 top and 2 on bottom. She grinds those bad boys at night...and the sound drives me CRAZY!!! Poor thing, they all came at once, so she doesn't know what to do with them. She was sleeping thru the night, but is now back to her old habits....getting up once or twice to snack and snuggle. It's all fine with me, though...before you know it, she'll be starting Kindergarten!

there she STANDS...don't worry, the side of the crib goes UP when I'm not standing there taking pictures!

And speaking of Kindergarten, Frank and I went on a tour of Knightsville Elementary. We were on the fence about sending Brayton to a private school. We were impressed, and have decided to keep our money for college...he'll be going to public. It's a cute little school and the staff was super nice. It's going to be exciting to volunteer and do all the neat PTA stuff. I have to put on brave face and really pump this school stuff UP, because inside...it is KILLING me!!! The thought of sending my boy off for a full day ALONE, ugh!!! He has to grow up, I know this...but why SO FAST? Lately, he just wants to play in his room alone, and while it's a nice little break, it's kind of sad, too. Am I nut job or WHAT?!!?! I sure sound like one :-)
