8 months

This post is a few days late, because Aria turned 8 months old while she was on her first road trip!  A lot of firsts in the month of March for our sweet baby girl.

• First cold (and second, and now third).
• First time swimming.
• First dinner with the missionaries.
• First time outside of Alberta. (British Columbia)
• First night in a hotel.
• First time outside of Canada.  (Idaho)
• First time meeting Nathan, Amanda, Joshua, Henry and Kate.
• First time playing with a balloon.
• First time eating meat and potatoes.  (Mesh feeders are awesome.)
• First time swinging and playing at the park.
• First TOOTH!  (Not very visible, but well on the way.)

She is still as happy and energetic as ever.  She has started waving (sometimes at nothing), and clapping her hands.  She loves to eat, and can feed herself her bottle as long as she is laying down.  And our girl is definitely growing - she's into 12-18 month clothes now.
