8 Months

Where to begin!?!?!  You are growing and changing by leaps and bounds.  Everyday we wake up wondering what new and fun thing you're going to start doing.  I'm pretty sure I was jotting down so many different "firsts" the entire month!  It's fun, but sad at the same time.  I just need you to slow down!

Some of the big "firsts" this month:

~ your first word...MaMa  (sweetest word ever!)

~ crawling! 

~ waving motion 

~ holding 2 things at once

~ pulling yourself up in your crib

~ we're using a sippy

You love bouncing up and down while standing.  You are making more and more new sounds.  Just the cutest thing ever.  You learned you can shake your head "no."  You don't realize you're actually saying no, and I'm trying to make sure you don't realize what that means!

You're still in size 12-18 month clothing.  Randomly some 9 month stuff will actually fit, but it's a little snug.  You are trying more foods.  We're getting this whole allergy/eczema thing under control.  We found out you actually got a staph infection.  It' was a secondary infection to your eczema.  We felt horrible, but it was so nice to finally have a diagnosis to why your face was constantly a mess!  10 days of antibiotics later, and you were clear!
