Hey pretty girl, believe it or not - you are already 8 months old! This month has been a super busy month for you, as you've been accomplishing some pretty big feats. It's really amazing to us how you wake up and can do things you couldn't the day before. You're just awesome, no other way to put it!
Your first tooth broke through on the bottom on 2/14 and you weren't even fussy. I wouldn't have even known you were teething by your actions, I just happened to notice it feeding you one day. You like when Mama brushes your tooth with the finger brush and your strawberry toothpaste.
You've been working on learning to feed yourself a bit each night. I give you puffs to munch on while I get your dinner fixed. Most of it ends up on the floor, which is why Annie is starting to come around you more often. You eat breakfast (pureed fruit with 2tbls cereal), dinner (pureed vegetable with 2 tbls cereal), and drink 4 bottles throughout the day in 4 hour increments. You love to chew on fresh strawberries and apples in your mesh feeder as well. Your starting to get a little hungrier during the day, so I think it's about time to introduce lunch feedings as well!
You are an absolute dream when it comes to putting you to sleep and I just hope it stays that way. Your bedtime is 7pm and that's per your wishes. You definitely let us know when you're ready to call it a day. Naptimes vary because Ms. Mattie lets you kind of sleep as you want during the week while you're with her. At home on the weekends I keep you on more of an every 2-3 hour schedule and you sleep really well that way too! You know how I love my schedules! =)
On 2/21 you sat up by yourself for the very first time. I laid you down a few more times just to see you do it again and again. You crawled across your room for the first time on 3/1 and of course I have video of both! You're getting to be very vocal and it is super cute. Sometimes I can get you to "talk" to me a bit on the way to Ms. Mattie's in the morning. I just love your voice and can't wait until you're asking me questions all day long. =)
You bring a kind of joy that neither of us have every felt. You literally complete our lives and we love you so, little cutie pie!
