 Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

And just like that, another month has passed by.

My sweet, baby Lu. 
You turned 8 months old on April 30th 
 I'm not even going to go into how unreal this seems to me.
You're growing up RIGHT before your daddy & momma's eyes. 
Time is flying. Like I say every month.
 You're just about outgrown of size 2 dipes.
Size 3's fit just right. We know this because we had to buy you a pack on Mother's day. As your idiot mother only brought ONE diaper with her on our entire day out. 
 You're a very long little lady. And about 15.5 pounds.
You're still in size 6 month clothing. 
 You have zero interest in crawling. HATE being on your stomach. So, I'm not gonna push it.
You just like to sit. And sometimes rock back & forth.
You also like to stand up against things. But only for a minute or two.
 You're obsessed with saying "dadadadada" & "yayayaya". Daddy & I love your little voice. It's just precious.
We're working with you consistently to get you to say "Mama", but you aren't havin' it. 
You also enjoy to fake laugh. It's hilarious.

You love your sleep. You go to bed no later than 7pm & sleep until about 7 or 7:30am. Eat, & then back to sleep until 8:30am.
You take 2 naps every day. At 10am & 2pm. For about an hour. 

 You also LOVE food. However, within the last day or two, you've been resisting purees. 
This is fine by me. Less food to make. Haha.
You're enjoying feeding yourself.
You adore:
*Baby Mum Mums
*Puffs
*Bananas
*Mango
*Yogurt
*Mashed potatoes
*Sweet potatoes
*Cheese

You only drink about 15-20oz of breast milk a day. And no more than 6oz at a time. 
& momma is still pumpin'. 

 You love to wave & give kisses to momma, daddy, puppy & your toys.
You absolutely LOVE the outdoors. Wind & sunshine are your favorites.
We've been taking advantage of every nice day & going on walks. You squeal with delight every time.
 You love books.
 You love bath time. Still.
BUT, we've graduated to the "big girl" bath now. That was a sad day for me.

You have two teeth. Bottom. No more in sight.

 You're a very sensitive little lady. Stranger anxiety has definitely hit you.
That's fine by me :)
 We set up your Jeep Walker last week. Just to see what you would do. As we suspected, you just sit there & want us to push you around. HAHA! You'll catch on sooner or later.
 You love music. Blues in particular. So random. Haha.
 You're just a little love & daddy & I are ADORING watching you grow & learn.

I love you, sweet baby girl. Stay a baby a little longer. Ok?
~Momma.

  4. She is such a doll. I LOVE love the last picture of you kissing her and she has a big smile on her face. So sweet :)
    Sounds like she is doing great! My older daughter, who was born exactly a year before your little one, started crawling just after her 9 month birthday. Kinda late, but then she was walking just before she turned one. When they are ready, they are ready!
