Baby girl is growing like crazy! At 8 months she's been doing quite a bit. Although this month has some major changes and challenges, we made it through in one piece!
- There was a small week long phase of hating bath time at the beginning of 8 months. It didn't last thank goodness because Daddy sure does love bath time with his little girl.
- In the first week of 8 months Charlie really started to get the crawling motion going. She's rocking back and forth. Already she can push herself backwards and loves to do so on Ma's slippy hardwoods.
- Waving with the hand, in her sleep, while she's nursing, sitting in her jumper. She has the Queen wave, and the brush off wave etc.
- In the second week into 8 months, Charlie was waking every night about 230 am to nurse and right back to sleep: it also seemed she dropped a bottle during the day this week. This lasted for 2 weeks. We aren't sure if it was due to the 37 wonder week, teething or not feeling well.
- Tooth four finally broke through the skin on the bottom. So she has four teeth in a row on the bottom! We also saw the glimpses of a top tooth coming soon.
- Breast milk, formula and baby food were your regular routine this month. At the beginning of 8 months, I dropped the 3:30 morning pump session. The intent had been to be half formula and half breastmilk/nursing for a few more months. However, that plan went out the window when mommy battled the stomach bug, followed closely by a major sinus infection during the same two weeks that Charlie decided to wake in the middle of the night, becoming intensely clingly to mom and mom only. To make a long story short, we stopped nursing cold turkey and went strictly to bottle. You can read more about the weaning in this post.
- You were in for a well check up due to exorcist type vomit episode during your two week mayhem. At that appointment we learned you weighed 15 lbs 44 ounces and you were 26 inches long
- Wearing size 3 disposable diapers
- In clothes Charlie is just all over the place but I imagine that most babies are. She is wearing 6 months, 6-9 months and a few 9 month outfits.
