Our little baby is eight months old now! I can't hardly believe it! I feel like I need to pinch myself because it seems pretty unreal that she is that old already. Although, on the other hand, it's hard to remember a time when she wasn't a part of our lives!
Here are some things about our girl...
- She is ALL over the place! She loves crawling all over the house and is getting pretty fast! She loves peaking around the couch and catching your eye, then smiling a huge old grin!
-Her 2 bottom teeth are all of the way in and pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life! When she smiles and I see those little teeth, I just die!!
*Look closely and you can see the adorable two little teeth in her smile! She is so cute it kills me! She is also using my baby blanket!
-She pulled herself up the other day, right in front of Hy and I! I have a little wooden box that my dad made me in high school, and she just grabbed it and stood right up! We are in trouble now!
-She chatterboxes a bunch now! We call our dogs the "DogDogs" to Em and you will see her searching for them at different times during the day. She loves it when they pop their heads around the corner and it makes her burst into smiles and giggles. She even says something that sounds a lot like dogdog or rue rue.
-I put her in the shower with me for the very first time the other day and SHE HATED IT! She cried the entire time and acted like it was total torture! Definitely haven't tried that again!
- She is getting pretty close to being able to say "dada" ! When she says it, her daddy just melts. It's pretty sweet.
*Since I first wrote this, she says "dada" all of the time now!
- She just had an appointment with her new pediatrician and we really liked her! She was very sweet and our opinions pretty much mirrored each other, which to me is pretty important. She congratulated me on having such a successful breast feeding relationship and said that she hoped that we were able to continue on. I loved hearing that. Our breastfeeding relationship is so incredibly important to me. Her latest stats are:
Head: 17 inches- 75th %
Weight: 16 lbs and 13 oz - 25th %
Height: 27 inches- 50th %
Our pediatrician said that she looked gorgeous and perfectly healthy. She said that her cognitive function was fantastic and that she looked like she was ready to take off running!
-Hy and I take Em out every where. Any place that either of us go, she is always right with us. We love to eat out at as a family. From the beginning we felt like it was very important to us to have Emilia exposed to social settings, and we feel like she does really well at restaurants because of this.
*This is at one of our favorite breakfast places Biscuits.
-We have new play date friends and she chews on toys and mostly stares at the people in the room! I hear all of the time that she is such an old soul and has to check everyone out before she decides if she likes you or not! That makes me feel pretty special that she likes me so much!
-We are still breastfeeding like champs and only have 3 and 1/2 months left until we hit the 12 month mark! So proud of that! I know I've mentioned it before, but our breastfeeding relationship is so incredibly important to me (and her) and I will do my best to carry on with that until we decide we are done!
