This little turkey is 8 months old!! She has been such a joy and blessing to me and B!! It's hard to imagine our lives before this spunky little thing happened to us!! She has been a awesome baby and continues to roll with whatever we throw at her!
She went to her first Auburn game this month and did great! We have headphones to muffle the noise and after a few minutes of them on, she cautiously pulled at one side and held it off of her ear. After a few minutes, she pulled the whole thing off and didn't want it back on! Around halftime she started "yelling" as well and would throw her arms up for touchdown when prompted. So, I think in general, she likes football!
My increased time at home and wi her has been well spent this month! She is prepping us for toddlerhood as she is already trying to get into everything, despite her inability to really move on her own! I believe crawling is coming as she goes from sitting to hands and knees pretty easily now, and is somewhat successfully going from belly to sitting (sometimes she ends up just rolling around as she misjudged her actions). If she gets close to something reachable, she will pull up to her knees and continue to try to get on her feet...we are going to be in trouble!! The most she moves right now is backwards when she attempts to crawl (she gets pretty frustrated when this happens) and she rolls around a ton! I would say one of her favorite things is the jumperoo- she will jump for 20-30 minutes straight if she's really into it!
The biggest thing for this girlie is the emergence of teeth!! Last weekend, we felt the leading edge of a tooth and a couple of days later the other one was well on its way too! At times, she acts like there may be more trying to nudge through, but I've seen no evidence of them yet. She been a trooper too! A little clingy, but not really that fussy. She will constantly rub her tongue across those teeth and sometimes get this really confused look like she can't get food out of her mouth! Other times I'll hear her smacking her mouth really loudly as if she's trying to chew her teeth up! Poor thing can't figure out what's going on!
A few other things of note, she will wave hello (and at times sound like she is trying to say hi), she will put her hands up for touchdown, she will "bark" at the dogs and still tries to feed them her food, she babbles a fair amount (b,d, g, m, and l sounds so far- some more than others), she loves playing with the dogs and they are particularly gentle with her when taking a toy away, she LOVES puffs and is starting to only want to feed herself, she will still eat most anything I offer her (ie- beets and cottage cheese, zucchini has become a favorite too!), she still isn't a fan of the sippy cup but we keep trying. We continue to try to do some sign language but nothing seems to be sticking yet. She is still in 6-9mo clothing, size 3 diaper, 3 meals a day and 4 bottles, 3 naps, and bedtime around 7:30-8.
