Tilly - 8 Months




 
Oh my goodness.. these pictures are getting near impossible to take.  This month she was trying to climb up over to top of the chair.. along with trying to flip over the side!




 


 

 







Month: 8- February 21, 2015

Height: Not sure on this until her check up next month

Weight: 15.1 according to sitting her on my scale.

Diaper Size: Finally moved up to Size 3, which is so nice since that is when the nighttime diapers start.  This baby pees like crazy at night!

Clothes Size:  Still all in 6 month.  Some tops are getting a bit tight, but the 9 month are so much bigger.  Hopefully we can start switching over to them shortly.

Sleep:  The same here.. 8/8:30pm-7/7:30am with 2-3 naps a day. Most naps are an hour to 2 hours.  This girl is a fan of sleep! (thankful mama here!)


Morning snuggles with Mama once she wakes up
 

Eat: She was doing good still.. her average of 25-26oz with a 6oz in the morning and 5oz every 3 hours after. Well, then she got a horrible cold and went on a hunger strike. This baby is tiny and has no room to miss a meal, so it was a bit stressful.  She would scream and throw a fit anytime she saw her bottle and one day only had around 11oz total. ugh.  Thank goodness after 2 weeks of building it back up she is pretty much back to her normal routine, plus around a jar to a jar and a half of food.  I think my child has the smallest stomach in the world because she could care less about food and doesn't like to eat much.
 

Likes:  She loves her mama and daddy, that's for sure! She loves playing and climbing on EVERYTHING now.  She also loves to follow us where ever we go.. that baby can turbo crawl. She loves to just crawl into the hallway and sit there and play with her hands, it's too funny to see her sitting there all alone just grinning away.  She loves her veggies way more than fruits, but is not a fan with anything that has peas.

 
 
Target fun!
 
 
Dislikes:  I forgot to mention this last month, but she is pretty much scared of anyone except Lance or myself.  She is in turbo stranger danger mode and will cry and get terrified if anyone else holds her.  Not fun. She also is scared of loud noises and will start crying. I guess we just aren't loud people, ha, so she isn't used to it. She's not a big fan of most fruits, I think she doesn't like the bitterness.

Firsts:  She had her first REALLY bad cold. I have never seen her so sad and pitiful, it was horrible.  Thank goodness it's almost completely clear. She also started being able to get in the sitting position on her own this month.. which means a lot of falling backwards and smacking her head on the floor.  Luckily she seems to have a nice, hard head! :)  This also means that she now sits up in her crib when she wakes up.. along with standing up and banging on the side until I come get her! haha  She has started to try and wave, it's the cutest thing ever because she gets so excited! She finally got the hang of putting food in her mouth and actually chewing. I am starting with the puffs for practice.  I did have to start with breaking them in half since she tried to inhale the whole thing and might have choked on a few.. oops.  But she is taking whole ones now and chewing.. woohoo!  And she is finally getting the hang of her sippy cup and not just using it as a chew toy.. gotta get ready to get rid of that bottle as soon as the time comes! I'm the mean mommy and don't like any attachment to items. ha

Also big news here.. finally at 8 months old her first tooth is breaking through on the bottom!! It doesn't seem to bother her. No change in sleep or fussiness. She's also never been a drooler and hasn't started.. yet.  We will see how it goes as she gets more.  I've felt it about a week and finally am seeing it pop through some, it seems to be taking forever!


My poor baby on her worst day
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our little Valentine
 
 
Extra Updates:  We are just moving right along! I love watching her grow and learn new things constantly, though this crawling/pulling up has brought on a whole new world.  A much, much more stressful one.  She is such a happy little baby, but with a 16 year old teenager living inside.. she has got some sass and boy will she let you know if she doesn't want to do something.  I'm assuming she gets this from me.. oops! :)

 
 
Overall she is such an amazing baby and we feel so blessed every day that she is ours. I can't even imagine life before her.. and how sad that her 1 year is in 4 months.. ahhh!! Time to start birthday party planning! :)




We love you baby girl!!
