Laina 8 months

My sweet, sweet baby on her 8 month birthday...

They don't come any cuter or sweeter than this baby!

The most fun development from Alaina at 8 months old is that she is starting to babble.  Just after she turned 8 months, she started saying "Dadadada" and now she also throws in "baba" and other little squeaks and squeals.  It's so fun to talk with her.

I'm not sure what the deal is with this little turkey but she still doesn't roll over.  She has the physical ability to but doesn't do it at all.  She has probably rolled less than 20 times in her whole life....which is weird for me because the older girls rolled 20 times a day at this age.

When she is on her tummy, she likes to creep around in a circle, she has recently started creeping backwards and moving around a little bit.  She doesn't cover a lot of ground but the other day she creeped about 5 feet away.

She is finally starting to eat her solid foods better.  She generally eats better in the morning, not sure if it is the time of day or the fact that she gets the sweet stuff at that time.  She typically only eats solids twice a day (trying to work up to 3) and about 2 ounces in the morning of fruit and 1 ounce in the afternoon of veggies.

She likes to move and shake more while she is sitting up now.  She likes to nod her head up and down like she is saying a big yes.  She will lean alllll the way forward and reach for something that she just can't quite grab.  Although she is showing these little signs of moving more, she is totally content to stay in whatever little spot I put her in.
Sleep is the same.  She sometimes gets up twice around 10 and 4 to eat and other times she will skip one of those two feedings.
Takes solid naps.  Still 3 naps a day....a typical nap schedule is something like 9:30-11, 1-2:30, 5-6.  Then goes to bed around 8.
Love her and she will be 9 months in the blink of an eye!
