Madison Ashley: 8 Months
-You weigh 17.8 pounds
-Still in size 3 diapers
-Mostly 9 month clothing and all 9 month pajamas; starting 12 month pajamas soon!
-7 ounces of formula every 4 hours
-You have really picked up on the number of ounces of baby food you eat at each siting. You used to take some but lost interest fairly quickly. Recently you will finish an entire pouch most meals!
-Started table foods per your school's recommendation. You have tried: mixed veggies, cheese, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and a bunch of others. You LOVE puffs and have pretty mastered picking them up and putting them in your mouth.
-Still going to bed between 7:30 (generally 7:30 pm) and 8:30 pm and sleep continuously until we get you up around 7 am.
-Latest nicknames: bug de love, little one, Madison (French Accent), puddin pop, puddin...so many nicknames...poor child will be confused once she starts understanding!
-You like to make a lot of weird noises!? Kind of like you are possessed (sorry, no other good way to describe the sounds). You are obviously learning all of the ways you can use your voice!
-We are starting to see a lot more of your really sweet personality. You smile and "shriek" a lot when you see Mommy, Daddy and of course Bella. You are also putting vowels and consonants together (I.e baba, dada, mama...etc).
-I think we have baby-proofed everything at this point; least I hope so! You are starting to crawl faster. I look away for a second and you will have moved a good distance when I look back!
-You got your first tooth this month! It is three quarters of the way in now.
-You are starting to pull up all the time now and initiating taking several steps with us holding your hands. It's crazy to think you may be walking in a few months!
-You can now go from crawling back to sitting and vice versa with ease.
-You are content playing with yourself for longer periods of time these days which is AMAZING (for Mama that is)!
We love you, bug!
