She is 8 months old!

While I am sitting her writing this post I am in tears. Happy tears of course, tears of joy! I can't believe that my little baby girl is close to a year old! She is 8 months old today! I have said this once & will a million more times, "TIME FLIES". I enjoy taking pictures of her all so I thought I would share a few of her from today!













This past month I have been eating up every second of her. I have been trying to welcome each new change however it's been tough. This month she cut her first tooth & she is actually trying to cut another as we speak. It's be rough on her, poor girl. She has been eating solid foods 3 times a day. I give her cereal in the morning. She has tried everything from sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, to peaches, pears, & more! The girl loves to eat! She made several funny faces at first but now will eat anything although her favorite is the pears. She has developed great sleep patterns & is now sleeping through the night. I am so proud of her! She is saying, "Mommma, Dada, baba (for her bottle), & we heard her once say nini, (night night). We say that to her everynight before bed or nap & it's funny how quickly they catch on. I have been trying to teach her sign language over the past few months. When we eat we do, "More, all done, & please." So far no luck but I do it everytime so she might learn one of these days! She just looks at me funny! She isn't crawling yet, but she is trying. She scoots her booty in the air but she hasn't mastered the movement part. She rolls constantly & loves to be on her tummy. She loves books, colors, textures, my earrings! (HA)! She likes pretty much anything that comes in her path way.

This mommy is keeping very busy with this little girl. Staying home with her is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I feel like I haven't missed one single beat! I love going to the gym everyday because they have childcare & it gives her a chance to interact with other children. I think that is also very important & since I don't work she never gets to be around other kids. So for about 2 hours a day in the mornings she interacts with other people & kids & I have really enjoyed it. It gives mommy work out time & Avery play time with others. She loves it!

Im looking forward to all of the fun memories we are going to continue to make with her in the future. Life seriously can't get better than her!

Happy 8 month baby girl! Mommy & Daddy loves you!

  4. LOVE her tutu and bow! I assume you made them?? I learned how to make tutus last year from my friend and might make some for my girls for valentine's day. We'll see if I have enough time!

    How are you workouts going? Are you losing inches / lbs? I'm glad you've been able to go to the gym in the morning and workout while Avery is in the childcare. I do the same thing 4-5 mornings a week and I love it too!

  8. I love reading your blog! I feel like my son was born yesterday and he is already 2 1/2! I taught him about 15 or so signs and it was really neat. However, he is just now starting to really talk because he was always able to sign everything he needed! She is a cutie!
