7/8 Month Roundup

AKA "Milestone Mania"
Sitting..Teeth..Standing..Crawling..Climbing..Oh-my!

When our girl gets down to the business of growing up, she get's to it!  She hit many major milestones in the last few months:

  • started sitting in Mexico
  • cut first tooth in Mexico (a bit fussy during the day and night, but not too bad) and second tooth on Tuesday which was alot worse then the first
  • starting crawling just after getting home from Mexico
  • pulling herself in the last few weeks
  • started climbing the stairs yesterday (no fear!)
  • she caught another cold after getting home from Mexico
  • she is in the process of dropping her 3rd nap, most days she doesn't need it
  • she is eating a few easily dissolved finger foods such as Mum-Mums and flavoured Toddler Snacks
  • she is eating all baby food.  She loves fruit and sweet potatoes and HATES beef (sorry to my ranching in-laws!) she gags and does a full-body shiver when you feed it to her
  • she is making lots of noises including: ma, ba, da and of course lots of giggles
  • she hates to sit still! which of course makes meeting quite a trial
  • we THINK she is starting to wave.....still needs to be confirmed
  • she gets SO excited when Glenn's gets home from work (adorable!)
  • has still not had any stranger-danger and is quite a people-person
  • she is loves paper and is constantly trying to eat it
  • her favorite toy is anything with a strap including: her carseat, my purse, camera strap, shoelace etc etc
  • her hair is still growing like crazy and is lightening up quite a bit
  • her skin is doing quite well, most of her eczema has cleared up and she only has a few flareups now and then
  • she is still quite the charmer and smiles at everyone....what a little joy she is!
