Mabel At 8 Months

She’s offi­cial­ly 8 months and we have offi­cial­ly hit a new stage. She is pret­ty much mobile now as she has fig­ured out how to com­man­do-crawl her way around the house. She still has­n’t quite fig­ured out her legs and will chase her foot around try­ing to get to her sock (it’s real­ly quite fun­ny). But I think my favorite is still see­ing how hap­py she gets to be with her mama. She will kick her lit­tle legs and shake her arms and screech. Very fun.


Mabel & Daddy Playing

Mabel always smiles and laughs when she’s sit­ting on dad­dy. Don’t know why, but she loves it. Recent­ly she dis­cov­ered dad­dy’s awe­some eye­brows (’cause every­thing on dad­dy is just awe­some any­ways) and start­ed pulling at them. When she under­stood they were attached, she sim­ply leaned over and tried to eat them — nat­u­ral­ly. I mean…what else would you do? 


Mabel’s Daytime Fun

Mabel’s day con­sists of a lot of sleep­ing, a lot of play­time, and a lot of eat­ing — I’m jeal­ous on all three counts. She has recent­ly dis­cov­ered that she can screech if she tries real­ly hard, and when­ev­er she gets excit­ed she’ll spaz out and flail her arms uncontrollably.

Los días de Mabel con­sis­ten en dormir, jugar y com­er el día entero. Hace unos días se dio cuen­ta que si hace un buen esfuer­zo puede sacarse unos chill­i­dos de miedo, pero lo chis­toso en real­i­dad es ver­la cuan­do se emo­ciona ya que mueve las man­i­tas y se pega en la bar­ri­ga de la emo­ción. Parece loquita!


Mabel vs. mangos

We dis­cov­ered she loves man­gos and avo­ca­dos like all good Hon­durans! Way to go Mabelita! 


Mabel and her Train

Anoth­er thrift store score (three-ani­mal puz­zle train) that Mabel loves. Here she is dis­cov­er­ing how wheels work. Dad­dy caught it all on video.
