8 Months
- I just now noticed that you were wearing this same outfit in last months photo. Well it is a cute one on you I guess.
- You have two teeth! The kids have been so excited for you to get these. They will stick their fingers in your mouth to feel, even when I say not to, and then it was taking so long that we stopped extra. Well, on our rode trip to Cedar City to see the Temple Open House, I saw them, and both were there. Maggie kept calling you her "two tooth baby sister". Sam now thinks that you can eat anything because you have teeth.
- Eating! You are loving it. I started giving you more table food and boy, you go to town on it. I have given you bits of dairy here and there and so far no reaction, so I have slowly been added a bit of it. That makes giving you table food so much easier, as so much of what I cook has a bit of butter or cheese in it. Often, I will take a bit of our food (chicken and rice) and mix it into your homemade baby veggies. The banana muffins are also a huge hit.
- You are rolling all over and getting so close to crawling. The other day, you were just rolling back and forth across the whole rug just because it was fun to roll.
- You and Mowgli still love each other. We were playing fetch/tug-a-war with him and it got you to laugh so hard.You are really fascinated by his tag and tonight, you grabbed him by the ears and started sucking on his nose. I stopped that one pretty fast.
- You are super chilled as always. You love going on hikes or walks in the stroller, just looking at all the stuff around you. I bring you with me when I volunteer in Maggie's class and all the kids think you are so cute. You are so good to just hang out in the stroller while I work with the other kids.
- You got your first cold this month. You haven't made a big deal about it, but you can see it in your eyes. Your eyes are just glazed over. Snot and drool are everywhere, and naps have been shorter. It looks like you are finally getting over it.
- You are continuing to stand against the couch, though it is not your favorite thing, nor are you great at it. You tend to grab something and then slowly tip over to the side.
- We let you cry it out officially this month. So if you wake up before 6:30 am, I don't get you. It took a few weeks for you to stop waking up around 3, not that you needed to feed anyways at the time, it was just a habit for you to stir at that time. Now, you sleep straight through.
