Maryam is 8 months old today. My baby is getting to be such a big girl! She tries to pull herself up on everything, although she hasn't managed to get up yet. She'll sort of make herself into a tripod, with her ankles together, and her arms spread out on the ground, butt wiggling in the air, and then collapse. It's funny to watch. She'll try to get on her hands and knees and wriggle her rump back and forth, trying to move.
She does crawl backwards, which is frustrating for her. I can see the desperation in her eyes as she moves away from me, while trying to get closer.
She's getting much longer lately, and it appears that her thighs are slimming down. She's still all chubs and rolls, though.
Her personality remains happy-go-lucky, and she laughs at the antics of her brothers, especially Wayne. Whenever he hears her fuss, he'll go up to her and growl, and make claw gestures with his hands, and she giggles like crazy. "She likes to be scared" he says, but anyone looking at Wayne would break into laughter too, since he looks, well, just goofy. Not scary in the least. But don't tell him that.
She takes two regular naps now, one around 10:30 AM, and the other at 1 or 2 PM. The first one is only an hour or so, but the afternoon nap has become longer, around 1 1/2 hours. We are very, very, very happy about this. She gets so crabby when she's tired, and does not like to go down, even though she's acting miserable. I think she doesn't want to miss any of the action.
