8m old

Our sweet princess is 8 months old.
















We've been blessed with a very happy little girl.  Her nap and bed routine has stuck, keeping her tired-induced crankiness predictable.  Two naps a day and then off to bed promptly at 7pm.  She still is not consistently sleeping through the night, but at least when she wakes she goes back down easily and quickly.

She now sit-ups very well.  Her core is strong enough to hold her upright for long periods of time while she plays.  She likes this a lot.  Last month she was starting to scoot, now she has mastered an army crawl style scoot.  It gets her around, so the baby-proofing begins!  

She is eating more baby food, getting a serving at lunch and dinner.  She has turned against squash and now strongly favors bananas and anything mixed with bananas.  She takes baby food best from daddy.
She has 2 teeth fully in, the bottom two.  With more to be coming in very soon.  




Her cheerful personality is shining through more and more.  It is so much fun to interact with her and have her interact back.  He giggles and smiles and babble continue to be as heart-melting as ever.







Baby L is experimenting with different sounds and at different volumes, some are pretty ear-splitting.  The funniest one is when she does the short, loud, bursts of "ahhhh" screams.  If you make the noise back to her, she will happily repeat it.  In the photo below, I caught her mid-scream, notice how she closes her eyes.  Silly little lady.
