FOOD
Kaiya has a great appetite and loves MOST of the food she has tried. She is not a fan of green veggies, she makes the wierdest face when we give her those. But she loves all the orange veggies she has had and cauliflower. I have made a couple recipies for her, one was carrots, cauliflower, tomato and cheese with basil - it was very yummy if I say so myself!! Just today she got some chicken, and really enjoyed that too. In the picture below she was eating blueberries and had a blueberry smile! We also have started giving her gerber puffs - basically cereal things that dissolve in their mouths - she really likes them and has started to put them in her mouth herself.
WALKING/CRAWLING
She isn't doing either just yet - well at least not forward. She kinda crawls backwards a bit - though I don't quite call it 'crawling' - she kinda pushes herself backwards. She is mastering going from her knees back up to a sitting position - and going from sitting to her tummy. She is getting better at both of those daily. She gets up on her knees and rocks a lot - so I can only imagine one time she will go forward and then it will be downhill from there! She also has started trying to pull herself up on her toys, her parents, her crib, etc, etc. She still needs a little help from mommy and daddy - but she can get to her knees with no problems - she can't get to her feet too easily - yet....
My mom has a walker at her house that Kaiya was in when we went to visit grandpa (who is finally out of the hopsital and at home!!!). Kaiya was again very proficient at pushing herself backwards - couldn't grasp the concept of pushing forward.
Kaiya had some help from her Grandpa moving forward in the video below.

Well it makes me feel better that my kid isn't the only backwards crawler! Happy 8 month birthday to her! I can't believe how big she is getting. What a cutie!! Peyton is just now standing up on things and getting the hang of that. I would imagine in the next two months or so he will be walking. Not so looking foward to that. He gets into everything on his knees...don't need him to start walking. :)
I think pushing off is easier than pulling forward, so that is just what they do first.
It is good to hear that you are giving her puffs. I gave Peyton those, but they say to wait...if she can "eat" them, what is the wait. Peyton couldn't put them in his mouth until after 9 months, so she is doing well. It is always easier to do the correct thing when food is involved. :)
Enjoy Easter and your little girl. I hope she has a wonderfully cute Easter dress.
