Aliya is 8 months old today!

Aliya is 8 months old today. Aliya is such a sweet doll. I can’t believe she is 2/3 of the way to her first birthday. Over the last few weeks her personality is really starting to emerge. It is such a joy to have her in my life and I fall in love with her ever time I see her. She is our little princess and I am so thankful for her. I can’t believe she is 8 months already. What’s so great about this stage is she is getting so much more independent. She wants to do things herself but, of course, she is still a baby so she is hopelessly dependant at the same time. Aliya is unbelievably curious about everything, she loves to touch and feel anything and everything and she still likes to put it all in her mouth.
