Eight months old: October 17.
Emotionally, it's getting a little harder for me to write these posts. I mean, I would bet you a million dollars that February was only 3 or 4 months ago, not EIGHT! WHAT?!? Only four more months and I will have a ONE year old? I do LOVE each stage though and this one is lots of fun!! Collins is into EVERYTHING! They call her Miss Nosy at daycare:-) But, seriously...she's constantly on the go, crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything. She likes to stand on top of her toys when she plays with them. It's too cute. She's getting better and better each day standing and I'm sure before I want it to happen, she will be cruising around furniture walking. *sob moment* She has recently started to try waving and is really "talking" more.
She still sleeps like a dream...she literally loves her crib. Each night when we put her in there we play peek a boo with her for about five minutes and she gets in these laughing fits that are just absolutely precious. It's one of my favorite times with her. She pulls right on up and just LAUGHS out loud at us for forever, but as soon as I turn off the light she just lays down and gets that thumb.
Still NO teeth! I think this is NUTS. I'm not concerned in the least, it's just crazy to me how long she is taking to get them considering she's been "teething" (wanting something to chew on/drooling/etc.) for a good three months now.
She is still wearing size 2 diapers, and 6 month clothes. No clue how much she weighs now, but I swear she is chunkin' up more and more by the day!
First ear infection took place this past month, no fun! Honestly, she wasn't all too bothered by it..but hopefully it will be all gone soon.
Our routine lately:
Wake up: anywhere from 7-8 am depending on who is driving that day to work, if we carpool, etc. On weekends, I sometimes have to WAKE her up at 9am. Seriously! *I'm trying to prepare myself NOW, mentally for baby number two, there is NO way I will have two babies that sleep this well.
Nurse: around 8am
First "meal": around 9:30 or 10: normally a fruit
Nap: after first meal, this um...doesn't happen at daycare for some reason, but at home she goes down right away for this nap!
12: Bottle (at daycare she also gets rice cereal at this time...at home, eehhh...we've been skipping this meal a lot, she doesn't seem to miss it)
Nap: Somewhere between 12:30 and 2 she will go down for a good, long afternoon nap, lasting anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours.
4:00: Bottle
6-7 pm: Third "meal" of the day: some type of veggie
7:30: Bath
8:00 Nurse and bed
Photo shoot time.
Practicing her wave.
Have to be ready to grab her on a seconds notice...
OMG...those chunky legs!! LOVE.
xoxo baby girl.
