Oh my goodness Melanie...you are the sweetest, cutest thing in the whole world. Your daddy and I love you to pieces. I am not sure where the last 8 months have gone. It is absolutely amazing how you have grown from a teeny tiny (6lb, 6ou) baby, to the big girl you are now. You are everything I ever wanted and more. I love you soooooo much! We have not been to the doctor for about a month and will not be until your 9 month check up so I am not sure on your exact stats... but I do know that you broke the 20 pound mark in early February so I am guessing you are about 21 now.
Some things about you/Melanie at 8 months:
- You are saying mamamama & dadadadad
- You are days away from crawling. Right now you rock back and forth on your hands and knees and are so frsutrated that you are not moving forward
- You are scooting all over the place backwards
- You can sit up on your own
- You are loving your solid food. To date you have had; rice and oatmeal cereal, carrots, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, pears, peaches, bananas, spinach, chicken and you love to gnaw on bread.
- Your pincher grasp is great! You love eating your puffs and can pick them up off the highchair and put them right in your mouth
- You LOVE your dog, Tillee. You just light up when she walks in the room and she sure does make you giggle.
- You still love bath time (as you have from day one)
- You are THE BEST sleeper. You sleep from 8PM - 7:30 AM and then nap from 10-12:30 and again from 4-4:45 ish
- You have pretty much outgrown your 9 month clothes although a few items still fit
- You can pull yourself to a stand from a squat position and really enjoy standing whether it be holding on to the ottoman, or practice walking around the house (by holding mom or dad's fingers)
And one of my recent favorites
