I had to put this outfit on you for pictures because it is size 9 months and really you are wearing mostly 12 months right now so I knew it was now or never with this outfit. You are still our chunky monkey!
You just have your 2 bottom teeth still, but you have 4 getting ready to come through on top. One is just about through and we can see the 3 other ones in your gums. You seem to continue to be a teething champ. I have been blessed with great teethers!
You are constantly rolling around and as I mentioned in a previous post, you are so close to getting up on all fours. You go for it and then just sit back down or plop on your belly. You can army crawl backwards with no problem, but can’t get yourself moving in the forward motion still. You can definitely get yourself wherever you want to go though! I am certain by next month at this time, you will be up on those knees and officially on-the-go!
You can hold your weight pretty well on those chubby legs of yours! You have yet to pull yourself up, and I think that will be awhile, but we have lowered your crib just to be safe.
We are just about ready to start giving you some finger food. Just last week you had a tiny bit of shredded chicken and carrots. You still love pretty much all baby food! We are officially done nursing. This was a hard decision on your Mommy. We had been nursing just in the morning and at night for the last almost 2 months. You seemed less interested in it so I decided it was time. As of this past Sunday, you are officially on formula only.
You are sleeping wonderfully. Nothing has really changed from last month. You go down between 7 and 7:30 and are up between 6 and 6:30. We had a little bit of a setback in sleep when you were sick, but that is to be expected and thankfully you are back to sleeping through the night.
Napping is not the best. You are the queen of catnaps! Every once in awhile we will get a good hour and a half nap out of you, but usually your naps last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. On a good day you take 2 naps, on a catnap day you might take 4 naps. You nap like this both at daycare and at home. Did you know that if I hold you for a nap you might sleep for 2 hours though?!?! This isn’t a habit that I love. Well, who am I kidding, I love holding a sleeping baby! However, big brother and the house usually need tending to so I can’t always hold you. You also nap wonderfully in the car.
You are still a Momma’s girl, although you have been really loving Daddy being crazy with you lately! You are always looking for me and put your arms out for me to pick you up. We have a crazy bond girlfriend!
February was the month of sickness for you. First you had a terrible cold/fever/congestion and just this week you had a touch of the stomach bug. You certainly are building that immunity of yours, but I do not like to see you sick!
You love to play with your brother’s toys. We have to pick and choose which ones you can have, but for the most part Luke shares well with you. You also love to zoom around in your walker. And you are just starting to chase Nala while you are in it and laughing the whole time!
The babbling has started! You are full of consonant sounds, but mostly “dada” and “aye” sounds. Sometimes it sounds like you are saying “hi dada!”. And the big thing lately is you clicking your tongue. You do that constantly. You love when we do it back or when we whistle.
Paige you are an all-around happy baby girl and we love you so much!
She is absolutely beautiful! Happy 8 months Paige!
