8 months

August 20th

We attempted to get her 8 month picture on the beach in front of one of those cute dunes, but a lady ran us off telling us we would get a hefty fine in the thousands. UGH. by the time I moved Audrey and laid the blanket out again, the sun was out and miss squinty was over having her picture taken outside and was only interested in eating the sand.



at 8 months.....

Audrey is busy, busy, busy!!!! Little miss has started to crawl, not just scoot or drag herself, but CRAWL! Can easily go from the crawling to sitting position. She's a great eater! Loves her veggies and fruits and doesn't seem to not like anything (so long as it's room temperature...she is not a fan of cold foods.) She has tried a few table foods- peas, cheese, pasta and bread. Loves puffs and Mum Mum's. says mama, dada, and babbles lots of other consonant sounds.Loves toys and books an can sit and entertain herself for a good amount of time. Sleeps great at night and still takes most of her naps on the go, but will sleep in her crib fro about 30-45 mins if there are no distractions. Very interested in the dogs and Ben (none of which will have anything to do with her.) Loves Owen and lights up when she sees him. Knows and responds to her name. Is now in a convertible car seat... no more infant carrier. Loves to sit in the high chair and ride in the buggy when we go out. I still wear her in the Ergo when we are out and about for the most part. Does great in the stroller. Loves music! Can pinch like no body's business. Watch out when you''re holding her. Puts her hands on your face or around your neck when you're holding her. Gives the best kisses and hugs. Loves to be held! Takes assisted baby steps. Loves to chew on spoons. We are on our last few size 3 diapers (which I am squeezing her into) and then we will be onto size 4s. Wearing size 9-12 month clothes. Sill nursing 4 times a day. Eyes are still very blue and hair is strawberry blonde and curly.
