Wordless{ish} Wednesday: My baby is 8 months old today.

{Laureli Lynn: 8 months old}


{Yes, you’re 8 months old today. What have you been up to? Well….

  • You’ve now rolled over a total of 3 times. Once at 3 months. You cried. Once at 7 months. You cried. Once at 7 and 1/2 months. You cried.
  • You have figured out that you can pick up your feet and march in your jumper.
  • A tooth popped through last Tuesday. On the bottom row of your mouth. It now REALLY hurts when you chew on us.
  • It’s so easy for us to make you laugh! You smile and giggle at everything! Especially when we blow a raspberry on your belly.
  • I think you’re going to skip crawling altogether. You sit just fine on you own. But, you never try to crawl.
  • You’ve pulled up a couple times on my arm. 
  • Your new favorite toy is your little spotted stuffed dog. I got the idea from Melissa and Kelsey to hand you a stuffie, your doggy, when you’re tired. You cuddle it. You love it. Naps are better.
  • You are pretty much too big for your co-sleeper.. but, we can’t seem to move you to your crib. I’m sure you’d be fine. We just wont be fine. πŸ™‚
  • It’s getting a LOT easier to take you places. I can remember back to when you were 4 months old. I had to constantly bounce you all the time. Wore me out.
  • Last night you started saying “mah mah mah”. Almost, “ma ma”, but not quite. πŸ™‚ Whenever I repeat, “Ma ma” back to you… you just stare at me.
  • It’s pretty funny when strangers try and get you to smile, but you wont do it. Even though at home… getting you to smile is SO easy!
  • You like us to help you “walk”.
  • We’re thinking of having my mom watch you overnight… 2 nights in a row. I have a hard time not being able to check on you. I know you’ll be fine, but you know.
  • You weigh 19 pounds. Whoa.
  • You keep trying to fall asleep on your side… I roll you back onto your back. πŸ˜€ Hee.
  • I think I’m becoming a better mom. It’s been a LONG road, but I’m trying my best.}
{I love you baby girl boo head. }

    8 months…WOW! My two were always smilers, even at strangers. My son has been a flirt ever since he was old enough to bat his big brown eye. He especially loves the pretty ladies. 8 months…don't even worry about the crawling thing. I was convinced that my son wouldn't crawl and just skip to walking…and then he started to crawl. He was older than 8 months when he did. I'm telling you the time goes SO fast. I look back at pics when they were both under 1 and they don't even look like the same people anymore!
