Eight Months Old

   Wow I can not believe my little, squishy, no head holding, floppy little baby girl has turned into this big, strong, smart, funny, big baby girl. She is not a toddler and after saying it in the last post, this momma says nope not yet. So here are some quick stats on the little boober baby.

Height: approx. 28 inches

Weight: approx 21 lbs

Sleep Habits: 

 She takes two naps one around ten and one around three. She is up between five and six in the morning and it works for now since I'm up at that time for work, but the weekends means she usually gets flopped between mom and dad so we can secure at least another hour of sleep before she gets angry and begins to holler. Bedtime is usually between seven and eight at night. fifty percent of the time shes yells and screams for a while before going to bed. Last night she almost fell asleep sitting up in her crib until i came and laid her down.

Eating: 

She loves food.A girl after my own heart. she has five to six bottles a day at meals and naptimes and a big one at bedtime. She eats baby food purees and eats small cut up chunks of fruit, veggies and some meat amd bread. her favorites being puffs, cheerios, chicken, bluberries and quesadilla.

she loved this watermelon and corn on the cob that followed.

Favorites:

Eating has definitely become a favorite past time. The jenny-jump-up, stuffed animals, being on daddys shoulders. 

Dogs and cats, oswald makes you get so excited when we are trying to eat dinner

I just stop feeding you until you stop jumping and squirming in excitement at the sight of him. swinging and swimming habe quickly become some of our favorite summer go to's. Of course some of her favorite things she wishes she could play with are the remotes, the labtop and our cell phones. 

Memorable moments:

 You sat up from a laying position, you also pulled yourself to a stand using your own little muscles.

You are starting to push your top teeth through so you've been a little irritable, but some how even when your cranky you are still amazingly good for me.

As i sit here typing watching Penny drink a bottle i hear her fake cough, she has gotten pretty good at it.
