Dear Ariela,

Today you are 8 months old! You’ve just started crawling and can get pretty far in the drop knee position! You have tried all kinds of foods, and enjoy broccoli, squash, acai, carrots, taro, bananas, and mango. You can wave hello and sometimes say “hiii!” It’s so adorable. Your eyes are still big and blue but are starting to look green in some light. You love the water and can go under without a care. I can’t believe how long you’re getting! I love you so much my little mermaid baby.

Love,

Mama
