Well, looky here at Miss I-am-so-excited-to-be-eight-months!  What joyous face!

Here I am!  Eight months today!

Our happy little girl has enjoyed her last month and is just getting bigger and brighter every day.  It was a big month too, with her first trip to the beach for Memorial weekend and with Uncle C, Aunt D, and J coming to visit as well.  She's eating and enjoying many more foods (and practicing with a sippy cup), but is still a good nurser.  She's also started some night waking, which isn't as fun, but may be on the verge of more teeth or a growth spurt.  We've also made a big leap in our afternoon naps and have been able to get her to nap, swaddled, in her crib for about two hours each day.

Brother's birthday was this past week and Sister's been enjoying it when he takes her for rides in his Mustang.  Although as soon as he goes to play with something else, she claims it for herself!

     

Hmmm...whose car is it again?

She also had her first trip to the local Children's Museum.  Brother loves it, and I think it will become a favorite of hers too!

Firetruck time!

Height and Weight 

Our at home measurements have Little Sweetie at 19 lbs and 27 in. (which is funny because those are Little Buddy's 4 month measurements!  Little Sweetie seems so small and delicate in comparison).  With as much as she eats (and demands to eat), I'm surprised it isn't more!

Personality

Happy and social, and certainly starting to ham it up!  Loves to wave to people and it almost sounds like she is saying "hi!"

Developmental Milestones

Starting to wave, blow kisses, clap, and rock on her knees.  Pulling up even more too!  It won't be long until she puts it all together...yikes!  Currently debating if her new babble of "dada" counts as her first word.

Fun Tidbits

We might have a little sports fan on our hands!  She loves playing with balls and sports equipment, often stealing brother's.  If she can overcome the genetic clumsiness she likely to have inherited, she may have a chance!

     

Got my helmet, got my football...put me in coach!

Though I am excited that Little Sweetie is eight months, I can't believe we're a mere four months away from her first birthday!  Where did my baby go?  Time flies by so quickly.

See you next month,
