See video below. Not her first crawling, but the first time we've gotten good video of it.

Anna at 8 months
It's been a busy month for Anna!
It didn't start out so well... Anna had her first ear infection and we were introduced to the joys of administering the lovely pink amoxicillin to an infant. Shortly after, she developed another cold. She couldn't seem to shake this one and we ended up in the ER one night with a child struggling to breathe - very scary! A few hours later an ambulance took us to the Kaiser Roseville pediatric ward, where they took very good care of Anna. She ended up having RSV. We stayed at the hospital from Thursday night to Sunday afternoon, during which time Anna received oxygen and breathing treatments and had her blood oxygen levels monitored. Grandpa Pat was kind enough to fly out for the following week. Anna was not quite up for daycare when she was released, but Mommy and Daddy needed to get to work! It was not very fun overall, but it made us appreciate our overall healthy daughter so much more!
Anna is much better now and has been quite a busy lady. She spent the month learning to crawl - first backward, then a military crawl on her belly, and in the last week she has finally mastered the traditional crawl. She has learned how to pull to stand, which she definitely prefers to crawling. She is also able to get to a sitting position from a crawling position - she sort of backs herself into sitting up - very cute! She is quite proud of herself.
On the communication front, it is obvious that Anna is beginning to understand words. She can say "hi" and "dada." When I say that "dada" is home she begins to get excited, looking for Brian. Her babbling continues to increase in complexity. She can clap her hands together and occasionally makes a waving motion for "bye bye." Word has it at daycare that her pal Ethan (12 months old) tries to kiss and hug her and Anna pushes him away... we were very glad to hear it!
In food news, Anna has been trying all sorts of new things! Yogurt and avocado continue to be favorites, but she also enjoys chicken, quinoa, avocado,and cauliflower! She's also begun working on feeding herself some crackers and cereal puffs, with lots of supervision.
We celebrated Easter this year in Baton Rouge with Grandpa Pat, Grandma Barb and Aunt Jenny. We then headed over to Pass Christian, MS for some relaxing time at the beach house. Anna was well behaved on our flights - you'll see one picture of her on the plane when we got bumped up to her first class -Anna was thrilled.
Mommy's counting the days until summer vacation so she can spend more quality time with her little girl. The weather is beautiful and is allowing for lots of long walks. We're enjoying every minute.
