Alana is 8 months old today

I've been mia for a little while, I feel like I've missed out on so much these last few weeks, I've been super busy at work and keeping and eye on this little one who gets into everything

Alana is 8 months old today and for the first time tonight I saw her scoot herself forward a little, she rolls all over the floor and can scoot backwards, she can get up on hands and knees but no real crawling,

I heard her say mwua mwua the other day.. the closest thing to mama.. she has been saying da da for a while now and lots of ba ba ba's

Her favorite food is sweet potatos and it is now completely impossible to put a diaper on her

here are some pix I took today for her mini photo shoot






and some pix from last month
