8 Months

Whitley,

My oh my how time is flying by!  You are now 8 months old and I simply cannot believe it!  I just got your 6 month pictures back (Yes, I know, I am good at getting your pictures taken just not ordered in a timely manner!) and they are sooooo good.  I have your 9 month picture appointment already made too!

You are such a little monkey!  You crawl and climb all over everything!  Surprisingly you manage to do all of this with minimal bruises so far.  You are starting to walk from toy to toy and stuff like that.  You are so much fun to watch crawling and playing.  I love it!

Ok so here is the run down on what you are doing these days:

Eating 3 meals of solid food.
Using your sippy cup some.
Nursing 6 times a day but for shorter periods of time.
Still in 3-6 month clothing and a few of your bigger 0-3 month.
Still wearing size 2 diapers.
You weighed 14 lbs the last time I weighed you.
You can go anywhere you want and are really fast at getting there!
Love to play with your activity table and your cups.
You have started saying mama again.
You are starting to "cruise" (walking holding on to furniture or toys).

Well my little sweet beautiful baby girl you are growing up on me and this really just hit me last night as I was nursing you before I put you down to bed.  Recently you have been nursing for short lengths of time but last night you were super tired and so you took your time and I made me realize that you are growing up on me faster than I would like.  It was nice to have one of our nice long nursing sessions last night.  I just held you and watched you and thanked God for you.  I never knew how blessed I was until you were given to me.

Love you sweet baby girl,

Mommy
