8 Months & MoBiLE...

Our precious princess is 8 months old today!!! My, oh my...how the months are flying by! For some reason 8 months sounds so old, as opposed to 7!?! This is actually the exact same title that I used for Cy's 8 month post. Like her brother at the same age, Lila Grace is officially mobile...woohoo! The past few weeks have been really frustrating for her, being oh, so close to crawling, but couldn't quite figure it out. Now, she's on the move & exploring her surroundings! Here are a few more things that our big girl is up to at 8 months old.

~She has said "Momma" a few more times.
~Has become quite the wiggle worm on the changing table
~Wearing Size 3 Diapers...I guess now that she's mobile, our next box will be Cruisers!
~Sporting Size 6-9 month clothes
~Can finally wear her 0-6 months Pedipeds & size 2 shoes...they're pretty roomy.
~Is a big fan of her Laugh & Learn Activity Table. She can stand at it unassisted for several minutes at a time, pushing, banging, turning, twisting, & shaking all the gadgets. She also loves to play peek-a-boo & to drop her toys & watch momma or brother scurry to pick them up...this is great fun!













~LOVES her Sophie Giraffe! She's chewing on something constantly, but no teeth yet.
~Lila is a splasher! Baths are pretty messy, but they sure are fun :)
~Down to 2 naps a day. She's officially dropped her late afternoon cat nap. Both she & Cy are waking earlier these days- around 7 am. So usually ready for her AM nap by 9:00-9:30...lasting about 1 1/2-2 hrs. Her PM nap starts between 12:30 & 1 and she'll sleep about 1 1/2 hrs. Bedtime is between 7 & 8 pm.
~I suspect that our sweet girl may have some texture issues like her Papa. She exhibits pretty dramatic reactions to some foods, namely cereal & applesauce. She's even gagged & thrown up a few times. I'm hoping that this will be something she out grows as her palate adjusts to a wider variety of foods. She's now been properly introduced to all the veggies, fruits, rice cereal & baby oatmeal. We're moving on to the mixes.
~Lila Grace enjoys to blow raspberries while eating which is not much fun for mom on the receiving end.
~LOVES popsicles & flavor-ice! Not surprising since I had a popsicle every day while I was pregnant with her :)
