Miia is now 8 months and doesn't sit still long enough for us to take her measurements, but we estimate she is 16.5 lbs and about the same height--27". She is crawling, standing, saying mama, dada, baba, and eating a large variety of foods. She now has 4 teeth--2 on top and 2 on the bottom. She loves cords, computers, cell phones and everything else she isn't supposed to have. Miia dips her hands in Lexi's water or food bowl the instant we turn our back and hates being told no, so needless to say, she keeps us running and has bruises somewhere on her body at all times. Although this is a rougher stage for me than the previous ones, it is so fun to see her discover a new world with boundless energy. She loves to play and is delighted by dogs and other babies. We love our Miia's contagious laugh and sweet kisses. Here are some pictures of her from over the past few weeks since Hawaii.
Playing at the Gaut's
Trying on a Halloween costume (you have to wait for Halloween to see the whole thing :-))

Miia and Daddy at a wedding reception
Watching mommy and daddy cook dinner 
Wearing her October-appropriate attire, an outfit provided by her great-aunt Nancy
The back says "Daddy's Little Monster"...we don't think she's a monster though...just a busy bee
