Some Highlights of El's Personality, 8 months

*Wrists and ankle roll.  Two wrists going means "Pick me up!"  One wrist going is a friendly wave, usually accompanied by "Dah dah!" which is her way of saying bye-bye.
*Bite-a-kiss.  This is when she dives at your face with mouth wide open, usually hell-bent for your nose.  If she gets it she bites it (gently, gotta give her some credit) and slobbers on it.  If you manage to turn your head away in time, she giggles and tries again.  Repeat. Sometimes she'll finally settle for your cheek, if you're persistent enough about keeping your nose out of reach, but in that case she'll bite you harder.  Punishment, I guess. 
*Loves an echo.  She yells in stairwells, vocalizes into plastic cups, etc. 
*Tongue sticks out between lips when concentrating.
*Favorite toy: sunglasses, especially when they can be pulled from someone's face.
*Fascinated by people's hair, since birth.
*Favorite thing to do outdoors:  rake up handfuls of grass and quickly stuff them in her mouth.
*Points and yells "That!"
*Big open-mouth smile.  Heart-melting when it's directed at you, but somehow even cuter in profile.
*Current raison d'etre: standing up.
