8 Months!

Age: 8 Months

Weight: 18 lbs

Length: Will be measured at her 9mo well check-up.

Hair: Still lots! 

Teeth: Four! The top two front teeth and bottom two teeth.

Sleeping: A little bit more intermittent here due to a persistent ear infection and teething. 

Eating: Getting better. She loves oatmeal, avocados, pears, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, peaches and bananas. We just tried "Beef and Vegetable Pilaf". Jeff feed it to her and she loved it! He was happy and said "That's MY girl! I think she's ready for a steak!".

Movement: Officially crawling! Can transition from laying down to sitting on her own. Pulls herself up to standing in her crib.

Milestones: Crawling, pulling herself up to standing, first ear infection.

Favorite Toys/Activities: Still loves her exersaucer and jumperoo. LOVES baths.

Dislikes: Diaper changes resemble "catching a marlin"! She flips, flops and rolls, anything to avoid the diaper. Getting dressed is similarly as difficult. 

Words & Sounds: All kinds of noises, still lots of squeals, but we're getting more sounds that sound like words like: Hi, Da, Ga.

She is just so much fun. I LOVE seeing her soak in everything around her. It is just amazing.Here are some pictures from her 8 month "photo shoot". It's a lot more challenging taking her picture now that she's so mobile!
