You are so busy now I cannot even keep up with you!!!
You are saying mostly dada. But have also babbled mama, nana, and baba.
You wave hi and LOVE to clap.
You LOVE attention from other people or to be held by them which will be a great break for me on our trip in a few weeks!
Not a huge fan of the water. Your first time at the splash park you did okay, but once your brother poured a cup of water of your head last week, you decided you pretty much hate anything to do with water. We will keep trying!
You are about 20ish lbs I am guessing and no idea how tall you are. We were at the mall yesterday and a woman commented that you were really tall for 8 months, so we will see what your next appt. shows. You were also called a boy 3 days in a row--even when wearing pink AND ruffles!!!! SHEESH! We need to get some more bows in that hair of yours!!!! ;)
Your hair is really thickening up. It has a reddish tint and is light brown in some light and blonde in others. Not even close to the white blonde your bro was, but maybe dirty blonde.
We moved you into a size 5 diaper last week. You still fit in a 4, but the 5 is just more "spacious". ;)
You wear anywhere from 9 month clothes to 24 month clothes! It is just crazy to me how much the different brands vary.
You give lots of great open mouth kisses and are so active these days, my snuggles are becoming less and less. :(
You love being around big kids and really enjoy interacting with others your own age as well. I cannot wait until the Fall. While you brother is in school, I have lots of great stuff planned for us...library story hour, little gym or gymnastics, gymboree...I will keep you busy and social little one!
You have been all about dada again. Your little face LIGHTS up when you see him!
You are sleeping better. 8:30 to 5 and then back until 8:30 or 9! Naps have been all off because you are sleeping in. One VERY short one around noon and then an hour or so around 3.
I am nursing you 1-2 times a day still. My body just does not want to stop producing milk I guess! :/ But I still love every minute of it!
You are eating 4 small meals per day. Cereal with a half a pouch of mixed fruits and green veg in the morning, orange veg (sweet potatoes or squash) for lunch, half jar meat/veg or half of a greek yogurt pouch for dinner, and cereal with a fruit or veg mixed in before you go to bed. You seem to be drinking about 22-30 oz. per day. You will not drink water. :( I keep trying though! And you have refused a few sippy cups but love your brothers. I got you one just like his and you do not want it. ;) But again, we will try and try some more! ;)
You catch on to things VERY quickly. I only have to show you or tell you once and you pick it up. Sooo different than your sweet brother!
You are nearly impossible to change your diaper and/or get dressed. You flip ALL OVER the place and I can give you every toy in the world to hold, but it does not make a difference! ;)
I have started to try to read to you and you want no parts of it. That is okay...just too interested in other things.
You love when your brother plays rough with you even though it makes mommy very nervous.
You and Liam can sit at the table during meals and just giggle and laugh forever at each other...mommy has not a clue what is so funny, but it is the cutest thing ever!!!
You will have your first plane ride in a few weeks and your first beach experience so an exciting month ahead. We also get your hips rechecked in early July, so I hope all is still good with that!
You are a joy and your smile lights up our world. I know we are totally partial, but your dad and I could sit for hours and talk about the little things you do and how we think you have THE.BEST personality. Could never imagine our lives without you! Happy 8 months beautiful! xo
forgot teeth...you have your two bottom and have been drueling ALL OVER! Think some more are on the way. ;)
