Happy Eight Month Birthday!


Miss Melanie Grace has been lighting up our lives for EIGHT MONTHS now! She continues to grow and learn new things every day. She is 14lbs, 10oz (we weighed her on Saturday at her flu shot appointment). She is still wearing size 0-3 month clothes, but can wear a few 3-6 month tops. Her little hips just won't keep pants up. She would not sit still for her typical monthly photo.

She continues to love standing up; can even stand unsupported for a few seconds at a time. She uses her walker toy to get all over the downstairs, so she's doing better with "walking." She is fascinated by Lucas, water bottles (the noise they make), anything she can put in her mouth, and basically anything she's NOT supposed to have. She is eating cereal twice a day, fruit and veggies each day, and is averaging 22-26 ounces of formula each day. Her attention span is getting a little longer, and her determination is funny; when she sets her mind to something, she's going to fight for it.
-
She is still getting up once per night for a bottle; she has been a bit affected by the time change, going to bed at 7 or earlier the last few nights. She sleeps great, though; and on the weekends she takes at least two solid naps. She doesn't nap as well at daycare.

What did we do with ourselves before Melanie came along??

Isn't it amazing how busy yet fun we have with them! I am not sure what we did before Bella either!
