Eight Months Old

Such a Happy Girl
Sully had her check up after her Seven Month birthday so I thought I would just post her new stats here.  It looks like she is going to be our long and lean girl.  She is 28.25 inches long (95% percentile) but only 17 lb, 13.5 oz (60% percentile)! She is such a big girl now!  I can't believe she is already 8 months old!  She is loving eating all her baby foods and has even started eating graham crackers...which she loves.  She is pulling up all over the place and wants to walk so badly.  She can sort of walk holding on to the couch or ottoman so I know we aren't far away from chasing her all over.  She is a great sleeper and typically does 8:00pm to about 7:00am.  So we are lucky there!
Hilarious!
 I had to add this picture b/c I feel like this is going to be our life...Hudson crying and Sully laughing!  Hudson is still as crazy as ever.  She is taking gymnastics every Monday and starting at the end of this month she is headed back to her old school, The Academy, twice a week.  I know she will love being back there and hopefully it will help wear her out...she seriously never runs out of energy.  She rarely sleeps, typically 8:30pm-5:00am at night and some days won't even nap!!!  She is our wild child for sure!

This month was full of fun outings and events!  It started out with a trip to the Globetrotters game.  Thanks to Aunt Kelly we had extra tickets and took our fun neighbors, The Bells.  As you can see, the kids had a blast...I am not sure they knew a basketball game was going on but it didn't matter.  They danced, played ring around the rosy and snacked the whole game.  It was so much fun to watch!

I had to add this picture b/c it is adorable and it shows Sully's smile.  This is literally her normal smile.  She can't just smile like normal people..her whole face lights up and this is what happens!  Love that sweet girl!
Sully loves the Globetrotters....I love this smile!
 Our next fun outing was a trip to Atlanta.  I had a bachelorette party down there so the whole family loaded up and had a long weekend.  We celebrated my birthday, hung out with the cousins and got to watch PJ and Charlie play basketball.  It was so much fun!  Of course anytime Hudson gets to see the boys she is happy, so it was worth the trip down!

The weekend after Atlanta, we took the girls to the Ringling Brothers Circus.  It was a blast.  We went early and went down on the floor for the All-Access pre-show.  We got to see the performers up close and much to Hudson's excitement we got to see Kelly Anne, the elephant, up close and personal.  Hudson was so pumped!  Once we got to our seats Hudson stood up for most of the show and just danced to the music.  She didn't love the clowns but was very into all the animal acts.
Hudson...always a clown

Much to our surprise...we got to enjoy an unexpected snow day here in Nashville.  It snowed hard all morning so we headed out to the neighborhood hill and went sledding with the neighbors. Hudson, Ava Grace and Caleb had a blast and Sully even went down the hill a few times with Tom.  She just giggled the whole time.  Hudson had a small collision that led to a busted lip and cut our sledding short but she was very tough about it.  We came home and put some ice on it and headed back out to play in the snow!
Snow day!
 That is about all for now!  We have a trip to Bowling Green planned to see the rodeo but other than that February should be a quiet month!  Although in our lives we never seem to have dull moments!

As always here are some pictures from the last month or so...enjoy!
