8 months

Frances turned 8 months yesterday, and I forgot. Didn't get reminded until Randy called around 8:30 last night and said, "I can't believe our little girl is 8 months!" I was sure she was turning 8 months on Tuesday, when we leave for SD. But, lack of sleep and frantically trying to prepare for travel - I lost track of my baby's age. Bad mommy. However, Frances is growing well and doing great. She got her two bottom teeth last month; she squirms around a lot but no crawling; she can stand up and hold on to something, if you put her there, but soon falls. She says over and over when she's mad, frustrated or tired, "Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma." It's a sweet sound, so sometimes I let her sit there and cry just to hear it. I know - Bad mommy.
