8 Months

Today, Avery is 8 months old!  We've got a big girl on our hands!  I constantly tell M that I want to bottle her up and keep her this size forever.  She is just so sweet, happy, and beautiful, with a lot of sass ;)

Avery here are your stats at 8 months:

Height and Weight- We will get an update on this at 9 months

Sleep- You sleep 12 hours solidly every night from 7 PM to 7 AM.  You usually take a short morning nap, hour or less, and take a longer afternoon nap (anywhere from an hour to two or two and half)

Likes- Bath time, having your picture taken (you get a big smile on your face whenever you see a camera!), going to the grocery store with Mommy, and today Mommy took you to Mother Goose Story Time at the library and you LOVED it!  You liked "singing" along with the songs... louder than any other baby :)  You were a big ham; you wanted everyone in the room to look at you!

Dislikes- Being left alone for even a second!  Makes it hard for Mommy to run to the laundry room to get clothes without you starting to cry!  Otherwise, you don't fuss or get upset very often unless you are tired.

Diaper Size- 3

Clothes Size- 9 months, you can still wear some of your 6 months things as well

Feeding-  You still nurse 4 times a day, although I think some days you could actually do 3.  You eat 3 meals a day.  Rice cereal and fruit for breakfast, and baby food for lunch and dinner.  As far as new food this month, you have eaten pureed meat (chicken, turkey and ham) and have started to eat more solids (banana, and anything mushy off of Mommy and Daddy's plates).  There hasn't been much you haven't liked except anything with cinnamon in it!

Favorite Toy- You still love Sophie the Giraffe, and a little car that sings

Milestones- You have pulled up in your crib twice, but not anywhere else.  You have gotten really good at scooting around the floor, but you still refuse to crawl.  You will get up on all 4's, but then quickly decide that you would rather be sitting :)  You have also really started to "talk" this month and have gotten pretty good at saying, "Ma Ma Ma Ma".


Little Nug, you are the most perfect little blessing.  Daddy and I love you so very much.

Pretty sure you are bigger than your bear now!

Last night you cheered (from your crib sleeping) the Tide on to another National Championship win!

This was the best picture I could get today at the story time.  You loved the bubbles!
