8 Months!!!

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)
