In her jammies, ready for bed. But still cute
Trying to get to the sign.
She was so proud of herself for getting it down.
Saturday 6/11/11
Happy 8 month old
She wouldn't let go of that bracelet.
Again...must eat sign
So happy that I let her have the sign
And then she destroyed it!
Weight: About 22lbs.
Height: Maybe about 28 inches. It's so hard to gauge growth like that. Cause you don't seem much bigger than you were at 6 months, but I know you've grown for sure!
Eating: Still taking a 4oz bottle every 3-4 hours and 3 meals per day. We just started giving you some meats to try out this past weekend. You seem to like them, as long as their pureed. I have tried to give you some table food, but I don't think you like the texture of them. We've also tried to give you mashed potatoes in lots of different ways: mashed with butter and milk; mashed with butter and ranch dressing; plain mashed; plain right out of the potatoe...and yet you still don't like it at all! I'm thinking that once french fries come into your diet, that you'll change your mind about those plain potatoes!
Sleep: I think you've been teething lately, because you're not doing so well on sleep. Bedtime starts at 8pm and you're normally asleep by 9 at the latest. You fall asleep great, but wake up around midnight -1am, and then sometimes again at 3am. I think it's just cause you want to snuggle with mommy (at least that's what I'm telling myself!!) :-)
Accomplishments: You're still crawling all over the place and have recently started to actually CRAWL. Mainly you crawl on hands and knees on the hardwood floor, but as soon as you make it to carpet, you're back on your tummy in your army crawl. You've also started to pull up on the couch and my pants. And you can take a few steps while holding onto our hands. You're going to be walking before we know it!!
You can say Mama, Baba, Byby (which sounds similar to baba, but it's when you're saying BYE), and Or/ior (when you're talking to Junior). You still growl (my little Monster), and screech. I love all your sounds!
You have mastered the pincer grasp and are able to feed yourself. You can handle the Puffs really well, and even ate some spaghetti the other night for dinner (a lot more was found in your lap than your mouth, but you enjoyed it for sure!).
You've also started to give KISSES!!! I love it! You'll lean into someone with your mouth open and want a kiss. And I can even ask you for a kiss and you'll lean in! It's the cutest thing in the whole wide world! I LOVE IT!!!
You can clap your hands when someone says "Yay" or when you've done something you like. And you do this "windmill" thing when you get super excited where you spin your arms in a circle. Cute cute!
I adore you! I love you to pieces! You're the best thing that has ever happened in my entire life!
I love you Monster!!
