Our beautiful LJ @ 8 Months!

• Says Da-da like its going out of style!
• Is pulling up on everything. She is climbing and gets into things that are suppose to be off limits. She is quite brave!
• Waves and will say "bye-bye" when prompted, and sometimes just because
• Gives high fives and sometimes tens and twenties. She gets a little excited.
• Is going to be a talker! She attempts to say ball by making the "bah" sound. She also does this with her puffs..."puh"
• Is finally crawling on all fours, but not all the time. When she wants to get somewhere very quickly she drops to her stomach and darts.
• Still a mommas girl but her stranger anxiety has decreased dramatically. She will let anyone hold her now days as long as she is not sleepy or hungry.
• Celebrated her first halloween last month. She was a precious little lady bug
• Loves to nap in her pack-n-play. She sleeps so well in it and usually puts up litts le to no fuss
• Enjoys watching and interacting with other children
• Is still nursing ever 4-4.5 hours during the day and every 3 HOURS at night! AHH! What is her problem?? I give her a bowl of oatmeal right before bed and then nurse her so I know her tummy is full. I've even supplemented formula right before bed for 3 nights to see if that did the trick. Nope! Nothing works. She just loves her mommy and me cuddle time I suppose.
• Has begun to eat a few new foods. She will fight someone over her banana chunks! We all love bananas. She eats teething biscuits and Gerber cookies. I give her small crumbs of bread too, but...
• She still has no teeth!! Not even one that I can see. Is she going to be toothless forever? It sure seems like it.
• Is obsessed with men, especially her Pop and PawPaw. She gets so giddy when they play and talk to her and cries when they leave the room.
• Wears a size 3 diaper and 9 month clothing. Some 9-12 month. She is still itsy bitsy
• Has quite the personality. She starts bouncing and smiling when she sees her puffs and will even laugh out loud sometime when we are bringing them her way. She is crazy about her snacks!
• Grunts or hollers all sorts of sounds when she wants food! She is very demanding. She caught me picking our some puffs in the grocery store the other day and I had to open them right there and give her some because she would not be quiet. She does this in her high chair as well.
• Is not a fan of her car seat. She cries and tries to buck out each time we load her up. Only a few more months until we can turn her around. Hopefully that will make the difference.
• Goes to Andrea's (our sitter) house 2-3 days per week.
