8 months

Happy 8 months Sweet C! You are a ton of fun these days - so interactive and about to be all over the place. You have brought such joy to this family!!

January 15, 2012 - 8 months old

Some things you're up to at 8 months:

• you're flipping all over the place. You can roll from one end of the house to the other - and quick! You're pulling up on your knees, but no official crawl quite yet.
  
• you're eating solids three times a day now and nursing 5-6 times - you love to eat - a little woman after your mama's heart!

• you started the New Year off with a bang - sleeping 12 hours and have kept it up for the most part - you have your off nights just like we all do, but we are THRILLED to have the full night of sleep and you seem to like it too!
• you bob your head up and down and it looks like you're either dancing or saying yes - it's pretty cute!

• you LOVE your sister - she is constant entertainment for you.
  
• your favorite toy right now is the jumper - you jump and jump and jump and it is delightful to watch how delighted you are about it.
• you are showing Daddy more love these days - still very partial to Mommy though (which is just fine!)

• you love to go on walks and get outside - we're so happy that you do - the spring will be so much fun!
• you are still pretty laid back - there is not much that ruffles your feathers (as long as Mommy is around).

• flexible also describes you well - throughout our traveling holidays you were easy peasy - slept well in different places, napped well and ate well. You like to be on the go.

Sweet child you are loved - thank you for bringing even more joy than we thought possible to our little family. A blessing indeed.
