I'm incredibly late with this one, because of the holidays and the fact that my PC is a dinosaur and I try to avoid it completely...but nonetheless, I did manage to snap a picture of my sweetie on her 8 month bday.
Isabel Jade, at 8 months you:
*Crawl like a champ and pull up and cruise the furniture. I believe you will be walkng within the next couple of months.
*Make several noises like ba ba ba ba, and you blow raspberries. You've started to stick your tongue out at people who stick their's out first. You laugh and talk to yourself and will play contently with your toys for 30 minutes or so at a time. You are into everything!!!! I am constantly finding new ways to childproof and still yet you manage to get into things that are big no-no's!
*You wear a size 6-9 months in clothing and a size 2 diaper. We attempted to move you into 3's because we have a stock pile of them, but you just aren't there yet and that is a-ok! You weigh around 18 lbs. You're next checkup isn't until next month so we don't know that exact amount.
*This month you got sick for the first time. :( You were hoarse and had a really runny nose for several days so I took you to the doc and he said you had a double ear infection. No fun!
*You still like to be held to fall asleep at night or even for naps. You sleep decent, but usually will wake up at least once during the middle of the night because you have lost your pacifier.
*You are eating 3, 6 oz bottles a day and roughly 3, 4 oz bottles with food. We feed you fruit in the morning, a meat and veg for lunch and usually more fruit or yogurt in the evenings. We are starting to experiment with solids a little more. So far you have had some mashed potatoes, animal crackers, jello, pickles, and pinto beans. You also love to eat puffs. I have yet to find a food that you don't like. :) We still have to be very careful because you STILL don't have any teeth.
*You do not like any sort of confinement. We set up a playyard in our living room and you escape it. You don't want to be in your car seat anymore. You don't even like socks on your feet and you rip them off 100 times a day! Ha! You are a little bit on the ornery side, I think.
I cannot believe that you are 8 months old. I feel like you've been in our lives forever and not very long at all, all at the same time. We love you very much and are having so much fun watching your little personality develop.
