8 months!!!

Eva you are 8 months old!!! (07/14/13)

*You weigh about 18.5 lbs. This is me weighing you at home. Your next checkup is at 9 months. You wear size 6-9 months or 9 months in clothes. You are pretty long so I think we'll bump up to 12 months in footed sleepers pretty soon. Size 3 diaper.

*You are still speed crawling and this past month you started pulling up on EVERYTHING. Lately you are even letting go of things, but you fall down pretty quick. Little daredevil. I'm going to predict that you'll start walking between months 9 & 10. We'll see! No hurry here!!!!

*You have 2 teeth, bottom & center.

*You take 4-5, 5 oz bottles a day. I make 6 oz but you rarely finish it. You eat one fruit, one veg, & one meat a day. Cereal in your bottle in the morning and before bed.

*You love Momma! You have started saying "ma-ma" but only when you are upset and you want me to come get you from wherever I have had the NERVE to put you down. ;-) You say "da-da" too but it's pretty random and not very often. You TALK all of the time. It never stops. Ever. It's pretty cute. You also like to blow raspberries and you do so several times a day for extended periods of time. Haha.

*You love your sister and think she is hilarious, most of the time. When she has you in a headlock, you aren't a big fan of that.

*You sleep through the night about 4 nights a week. The other 3 are pure torture. Just keeping it real. You will wake up like 2-3 times during the night and while it's easy to get you back to sleep it is IMPOSSIBLE to lay you back in bed and KEEP you asleep.

*You love bathtime & swimming! I have 2 water babies and I'm glad about that!

*You still have gorgeous bright blue eyes. I have so many strangers stop me in public to compliment them. You are starting to get quite a bit of hair also, but it is SO blonde. In pictures you look bald but actually your hair looks to be pretty thick. Blonde hair and blue eyes....what?!?!

You are a sweet happy baby! You are also persistent & stubborn when you want something you're not supposed to have or when you are sleepy but don't want to sleep! Little stinker!

We adore you! Can't believe you are going to be one in four short months! Love you baby!
