Happy 8 months to this cute little face!
 |
| This is a big milestone for me because it also marks 6 months, adjusted. |
- We think she is almost 14 lbs, and is finally in her 6 month clothes though some of her footies are still 3m.
- She is so happy when she wakes up! Always has a big smile for us when we go to her crib. It makes getting up early pretty easy.
- She is rolling around like a champ. I can no longer leave her lying on the floor by herself for a short amount of time - she'll roll off the mat and across the floor in no time!
- Sitting up really well for long amounts of time. Can even lift herself to a sitting position from about a 45 degree angle. Still loves to be stood up too, but she's been doing that since around 4 months or so. (Her legs are super strong!)
- Reaching and playing with both hands. She loves her Sophie and the brightly colored set of rings. Anything she touches goes straight to her mouth.
- She seems to know her name and will look up when you call her (when she wants to!)
- Starting to make B sounds
- She is still mostly on breast milk, but usually has at least one formula bottle a day. Five, 5 oz bottles a day.
- I'm still pumping a fair amount (morning, night, twice/day at work), and have reached my initial long term goal of 6 months, adjusted. It has really been a challenge to keep at it, especially since we are 'on the go' so much. I don't know how much longer I'll keep at it, but it really has been such a roller coaster and I'm proud of how long I've managed.
- We are working to perfect the art of eating...so far she's had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, bananas, apples, carrots, butternut squash, peas and mangos. Hated the apples and carrots. Hated. She likes to eat, then suck her thumb to get it down.
Now, two quick albums to show how much she is growing:
This one has her laying on a sheep for a point of reference.
