Avery - 8 months

This past week, our sweet Avery Leigh turned 8 months!

Here's what she's up to:

-stands by toys and plays for quite some time

but gets scared once she realizes she doesn't know how to get down

-chatterbox  all. the. time.

-waves bye-bye by opening her hand open and shut

and says "bababa" while doing so

-is eating solids twice a day (once at home and once at the babysitter)

-sleeps GREAT from 8:30 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. (after being woken up)

-likes her blankie and thumb and twirling hair when sleepy

-still 3 naps a day - wakes up with CRAZY bed head 

-doesn't like it when Aubrey pushes her over ;)

-gets upset when things are taken away from her (thanks Aubrey;))

-has officially stopped nursing and I have stopped pumping - YAY!

-has a bottle 5 times a day - three formula and two pumped milk

-drinking 5-6 ounces at a time 

(I still have a stash of frozen milk for awhile)

-continues to wake up happy and waits for us sitting up in bed

-pulls herself up on anything/anyone

-falls down/over all the time - I guess she's tough

-likes to play by herself (thankful!)

-still in size 3 diapers and 12 month clothes
-getting rosy/chapped cheeks already from the colder/dryer air


So EXCITED to be 8 months old :)

that's better
