Eight Months Old!

BABY GIRL YOU JUST CRAWLED FOR THE FIRST TIME 10/20/10 @ 7:15pm!!!!!! WAY TO GO LILY!!!

Lily, you are such a precious and sweet baby! This is just a list of what you are doing now that you are eight months old!

  • You got your first tooth on Oct 3RD and it is one of you bottom ones.
  • You are on the move now! You have been up on your hands and knees for two weeks now and I have seen you pick up your left knee three times in an attempt to move it forward! You find ways to get around to what you want though! You scoot backwards, roll and occasionally you pull your self forward!
  • You are now eating fruits and so far have had apples and peaches and you love both. You still don't like carrots too well but are still eating peas, green beans, squash and sweet potatoes. You eat cereal and a vegetable in the morning and cereal and a fruit in the evening.
  • You are sleeping from around 9:00pm until 7:30am consistently and occasionally wake up if your teeth are bothering you but will put yourself back to sleep. You still don't like to go to bed or take naps at times but you have gotten better with both. We still have to let you cry it out sometimes!
  • You are talking or squealing all the time and say mama and dada throughout the day! You will sit with your monkey Mily and just talk to her the whole time!
  • You are still wearing some of your 3-6 month clothes but mostly wear the 6-9 months just because of length. You are now wearing a size 3 diapers and it is always Pampers with Huggies wipes!
  • You still like to give people loving and pretend to eat their face while you smile and squeal!
  • You are very ticklish especially under your left arm and your tummy!
  • You have started to fake cough because you realize you get attention and when we look at you there is nothing but a big smile on your face.
  • You laugh out loud all the time and get so excited especially when you try to "fly".

Lily, you are such a special little baby and a blessing to your mama and daddy who love you very, very much!

Lily Seven Months!

Lily is such a great baby and she has the sweetest little personality! She has been up on her knees rocking back and forth the past week and it shouldn't be long before she starts crawling. She is basically sitting up on her own now but can't stay there a long, long time yet! She still has not gotten any teeth and she is getting ready to start fruit today! I have given her all vegetables so far since our pediatrician suggested that. She likes: Green beans, peas, squash and sweet potatoes however she does not like the carrots too good. Lily said her first word back in August and it was DaDa and she has said MaMa but she doesn't say either one consistently or when prompted yet. It is so hard to keep everyone updated on everything since I work M-F from 8:30-5:00 or 6:00 some nights. After work I just want to spend as much time with Lily as I can so updating things become second. Fall is here and it is mine and Ford's favorite season and I will be dressing Lily up as a butterfly this year for Halloween courtesy of Grammie and Papa! So excited to go through this holiday season with my beautiful family!
