Pemberley | Eight Months

Hi little one,
Eight months? It's so unreal. Eight months ago you were this teeny tiny little newborn, and now you're almost crawling...excuse me while I shed some mommy tears!

So, at 8 months, you...

-wear size three diapers and 9 month clothes

-now have two more teeth (top incisors, or your "vampire teeth"), and are working on two more up there!

-love when we play peekaboo with you

-scoot around on your tummy, and can move backwards and in circles

-haven't quite mastered coordinating your arms and legs so you can crawl, but that doesn't keep you from trying

-can go from sitting to your tummy with no trouble

-have a blast in your exersaucer, now that your feet can touch the floor and you can bounce :)

-are getting really good at using your pincher grasp to pick up small pieces of food (yogurt melts make you squee when you see them)

-love eating purees at dinnertime, especially apples & chicken, bananas, and prunes

-have yet to successfully drink out of a sippy cup, even though we've tried three different kinds :(

-were sleeping so well in your nursery for awhile, but now fight naps and sleep for more than two hours at a time unless you're held (hellooooooo 8 month sleep regression!)

-are showing a strong preference for using your left hand when grabbing and waving

-are finally interested in standing assisted on those chubby legs

-love to read your board books (and by read, I mean eat)

We're only three weeks into our summer together, and I'm having so much fun! I can't wait for the next few months with you. I love you so much!!
