8 Months Old

In honor of Madison turning 8 month old today I will give a short update on all she has done this past month.

*She weighs 16lbs. (but doesn't feel that heavy)
*Eats lumpy food and loves snacks such as gerber toasts, sweet potato puffs and other small finger foods
* She has become increasingly aware of her limited mobility and craves to be able to explore her surroundings further through crawling or walking
*STILL wears size 2 pampers even though the amount of wiggling, scooting and rolling around warrants cruisers. We tried the 3's but we had to roll the top down and there was too much extra diaper at the bottom
*Has started using the sippy cup on outings. She gets very excited when we bring it out.
*Will mimic my behavior such as splashing in the tub when I splash
* Today while giving her a bath she discovered the bubbles we had made while washing her up
*She is finally big enough for me to buy her 6-9mo old clothes when shopping. She could fit into some before but it was pushing it
*Mike lowered her crib so that we don't take any chances of her pulling up on the sides and falling over
*Her meal times are alot more normal now, breakfast at 7, lunch at 12 and dinner around 5

Below are some cute pics I took of her today while we were hanging out together.


The futon in the office is still out as a bed from my Aunt's visit so I let Madison play on it while I took care of some things on the computer. She got all wore out and was ready to nap 30min before her regular nap. It was so cute picking her up and carring her to her crib to ensure a longer nap. As you can see she has a blankie. She always wants a blanket to cuddle with.




As mentioned above she discovered the bubbles in her bath today. She may have kind of looked at them before but today she was trying to pick them up or at least figure out how to grab them. By looking at this picture I started realizing that her days in the little baby tub are VERY numbered.
