8 months

My baby is 8 months old today! Here's a rundown of what lil miss has been up to:
Sleep: Sleeping pretty much 12 hours from 7pm-6:30/7am. Unless she's sick then it's a guessing game. She's also going through a growth spurt and last night was the first night in a week that she didn't get up at 10:30pm to down a 5 oz bottle!
Eats: Drinking roughly 4-5oz at a time, every 2 hours or so. With this growth spurt however, she's been taking about 14oz in the first 3 or 4 hours of being awake for the day. That's over half of what she used to drink daily! Yesterday we let Abi chew/suck on some dark meat turkey! We put it in one of those nifty little mesh feeders and let her go to town. She LOVED it! Other than that, with her being sick a few weeks ago we are all out of whack with her solids schedule. We have finally gone back to peas and will probably either pick up bananas (remember she only tried them once back when she was sick) or try carrots again. Not sure which to be honest.
Play: She's a rolling machine these days! Abi also did try to scoot a little the other day, but I think that it will still be a while before she's actively scooting. She still loves to suck and chew anything she can get into her mouth. Now that she can sit up better, she's enjoying reaching for things and can even straighten her self back into a sitting position (as opposed to toppling over like before, lol) Abi love anything shiny and noisy (like mommy) and is totally captivated by an empty water bottle filled with Christmas ribbon that she can easily hold and chew. It makes a crinkle sound and she just loves the thing!
Other:We don't know how long she is but she was weighted last week and is 17lbs 11oz! Holy mole! She's got to be at least 29 inches because her feet are starting to dangle over the edge of her infant carseat. So today I scoured the deals online and found her a really nice looking convertible carseat with great reviews. I am so excited to get it, but at the same time I'm sad to see the infant carrier go. Especially since we just got a carseat canopy for it! LOL She's growing so fast I just can't believe it. Not two weeks ago she was fitting into her carseat just fine, then BOOM! Super length. Ha!

Abi's tree!

I can't wait to see what's in store for us this month with Abi's growth and new found abilities! I also can't wait to see what else she's going to start doing. Christmas is going to be so amazing this year!

Speaking of Christmas, I spoke with hubby about his "bah humbug" attitude and asked him to tone it down for Abi and my sake. I love the holidays and don't want them ruined for either of us. He was very understanding. Thank goodness!
