8 Months Old

Diaper Size: 3 and pampers overnight size 3  

Clothes Size: 6-9 months and 9 months 

Eat: She is eating 7 oz of formula in the morning, 2 bottles of 6oz in the afternoon and 8 oz before bed. Occasionally, one of the afternoon bottles will be breastmilk using some of the frozen stash that I have. She eats three solid meals a day. She loves eggs, peanut butter toast, chicken and bananas. 

Sleep: She is sleeping throughout the night, on her belly. She will sleep from 7-7. She has two naps, one in the morning for an hour and one in the afternoon for another hour. 

Play: She is crawling like CRAZY! I remember trying to get her to crawl and wanting it so badly and now that she is, I'm like SLOW DOWN! I have to have my eyes on her 24/7. I miss the time when I can just leave her on the mat and not worry about her when I got to the bathroom. Now she is moving constantly and have to make sure she isn't getting into anything. 

Milestones: She is crawling and eating meat. She loves chicken! She has two bottom teeth and she looks ADORABLE when she smiles. 

Likes: She loves her bananas and peanut butter toast. She makes a "MMMM…." sound when she eats. She has such a big appetite. She is talking like crazy and says "Dada." Not sure where she learned that since I've only been practicing "Mama" with her. She loves the song "Itsy Bitsy Spider" from the Gigglebellies.  Claps her hands when we sing too!

Dislikes: There isn't much that she does not like. If she doesn't have one of her naps she will get fussy. 

Personality: She is truly the happiest baby on Earth. She loves to clap her hands and talks all the time. She loves it when we sing and thinks it's a game when we say "No" if she is getting into something that she shouldn't be getting into. 

Dear Presley,

Happy 8th months! You are getting so big so quickly! I can't believe you are crawling already. Soon you'll be walking! You are such a happy baby and we are so lucky to have you in our life. I thank God every day that we have been blessed with you. It is amazing how much you change every day and I look forward to finding something new about you. You now have two cute bottom teeth! You look SO adorable when you smile and we can see them. I will start planning your 1 year birthday party soon. Can't believe I am already getting ready to do that! We love you sooooo much!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
