8 months!

Standing! This is now her favorite pasttime.

Audrey on her actual 8-month "birthday"

One of her favorite toys - her "CD player". It's also one of Gabe's favorites.

Look, ma, one hand!

Audrey turned 8-months-old on October 24, and, wow, that seems really fast. She loves to stand up and crawl all over the house to explore. She also loves to babble - bababa, mamama, dadada, or a combo. (Several days ago, she said "bama", and we hope this was not her official endorsement for president.) She took to standing about a month ago, but she is just getting to the point where she knows how to come down correctly, i.e., slowly, holding on, and on your padded bottom, rather incorrectly, i.e., fast and straight back so as to knock your head on the floor.
