8 Months Old

She just keeps getting older and older! 8 months old...I can't believe it. She has changed a lot lately. She's sleeping much better. It seems most nights she's sleeping straight until 5:30 or 6:00am. When she wakes up, I go in and give her some toys and she plays quietly until it's time to get up. So, that's making me really happy. She's able to sit up from a lay-down position, but she doesn't do it very often. She does like to get on her hands and knees and rock or crawl backwards. She's getting really close to taking off. She's making sounds like Dada a lot. She's the messiest eater. She likes to put her hands in her mouth between bites. It's really funny. She can fit into a variety of clothes. I think she's tall and narrow or something. She can fit into 3 month dresses occasionally. 6 month dresses most of the time. Up to 12 month dresses. 12 month onesies and jammers, anything that matters in torso length. It's very strange. Her shoes are still a problem. Most of them fall off. It's a good thing it's summer. Hopefully by winter she'll fit into shoes that come in narrow so she can wear more. She's still having digestion issues and we have an appointment at Riley at the end of the month. Hopefully they'll help or she'll grow out of it soon. She's just really grown up a lot this month and I think it's crazy she's about to become mobile! Look out big brother...your world is about to change.
