She had a really good routine going for a few weeks where she would bath, book, boob, and in bed sleeping by nine. The last couple nights she has gotten really fussy around the end of bath time when she is getting oiled up so i think she may need to go down a half hour earlier. She has been overly tired where she doesn't fall asleep as easily or quickly so I really think an earlier bedtime is the answer.
She is not teething. A-hem! lets rephrase that and say she is not cutting teeth, but she is teething. Does that even make sense? I can see her little teeth buds but pretty sure they wont be appearing anytime soon and if "what they say" is true then she will be like her mama and not have them till after one.
She is babbling up a storm, she can say mama, dada, and hi. Im pretty sure she can say " i love you" or she is good at making her babbles sound like it. She is quite the smarty pants and knows three signs too. She knows mama, kisses, and milk. Its so cute when i sign for her to give mama kisses and she opens her mouth with a big smile and plants a big wet slobbery kiss on me, Ugh! Baby kisses are my favorite! And then when i sign milk she starts to laugh and pull at my shirt. She knows whats coming. Smart gal she is. Oh how i love her so.
Eating, nursing, eating, nursing, nursing and eating. The story of my life! This kid is always hungry. She eats three meals a day and nurses four or five times a day and that's not even including night time or snacks. Okay so what do we feed her? Well, we didn't do the traditional route of purees and then solid solids. Maybe we did, sorta? anyway, we started giving her oatmeal once a day with a fruit puree and then she would nurse the rest of the time. This was very back and forth as it freaked me out to give her anything besides breast milk. Once she turned like 7 1/2 months or so is when we really decided (or her) that she needed more because she was actually hungry for it. So we gave her the oatmeal and fruit consistently. She then started reaching for everything we were eating so we would give her a few bites here and there. Well apparently there is this thing called Baby Led Weaning which totally worked for us. Today at 8 1/2 months she eats everything except honey things and we still haven't tried PB, but she is eating grilled cheeses, pancakes, pasta, meat, and everything in between. Its kind of scary having to feed your child real food because its a lot more effort then just pulling your boob out of your shirt and you have to remember to feed them. yikes! Its making me anxious just thinking about it even though i do a great job at feeding her! Just sayin!
And to end this extremely long and thoroughly updated post, the cutest little girl in town! Ugh those eyes!
