8 months old!

Has it really been another month? She just needs to stop growing right now!  

*Her first tooth finally broke through on Christmas day! She is now working on her second bottom tooth.

*She went through a phase of waking up every morning at 3:30 and staying awake for an hour. I'm so glad that phase has passed. Were back to sleeping through the night!

*She loves food when she's in the mood. I can get her to eat mostly fruits. She's not a fan of veggies.  She despises avocado.  She is loving the little yogurt bites. I also gave her an orange slice to chew on the other day and she LOVED it.

*She no longer wants to be rocked to sleep.  I'll admit I'm kind of sad about that one. It is nice to be able to just lay her down and she'll go to sleep but I am missing that cuddle time at the end of the day.

*She is starting to make sounds like "da da da" and "ma ma ma" and "ba ba ba" She also makes a little growling noise. I'm not quite sure how to explain it. 

*In her high chair when she is getting ready to get out she'll strain her whole body. Imagine someone lifting something really heavy, that is sort of what she does.  It's hilarious.

*She likes to hit her spoon when it's full of baby food.

*She is showing no desire to crawl, she doesn't even get on her hands and knees. She's perfectly content just sitting.  She will, however, roll all over the place.

*She's still huge fan of bath time and loves it even more now that she is sitting up.

*The third picture below this shows her everyday face.  This is the face she has most of the day. (unless of course it's her "wahhh-nie" face)  It's quite funny. 

*She still lives up to her nickname "Wahhh-nie" She definitely has got the crying/fussy thing down.

I just can't imagine our life without her.
