8 Months Old!

Wow! 8 Months! Hard to believe. Dahlia is getting more & more fun as the days go by. She can pretty much sit by herself now - at least for a little wile. But she generally gets too excited and then falls over. Which is also kind of cute - when she doesn't bump anything!

She 'talks' her head off...no words yet but I feel they're coming soon.


I've been trying to have her play on the floor more so she can roll around and try the whole crawling thing (hasn't yet) and I think she likes it. She can get herself in the oddest positions/places by rolling - under the swing, almost under the couch, etc. Too funny.



We're working on "bye-bye" - too soon for it but she's kind of getting the idea. When we ask "Where's Beavis?" she looks around and looks down at the floor - very very cute. Boy she loves that cat.



She is still comfortably fitting into her 3-6 month clothes...I'm going to have some out-of-season stuff - sadly. There are some cute dresses that I don't think she'll make it to this summer. Bummer. But I'm thinking the "long tunic" style will become popular in our household this fall.



Mostly? I'm just madly & deeply in love with her. Somedays I'm afraid I'm going to eat all the flesh off her face - those cheeks are to DIE for. And she slept from 8:45 to 7am this morning - YAHOOOO!!

She gets cuter every time you post a picture of her, I swear. And considering how cute she was to begin with, that's quite a feat!

Seriously? Eight months already??? She is such a pretty little girl, and I really hope you don't eat the flesh off her face.

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
