8 month birthday

Winona just passed her 8 month birthday! She is weighing in around 17 lbs and even has a few baby fat rolls. She can sit up all by herself, suck on her own foot, and spot her mama from 100 yards. She giggles and babbles a bit, but she isn't very loud like Ricky and I were as babies. She must take after some unknown distant relative.
