8 Months Old

Our baby is growing up too fast!! At eight months old Lainey is such a mama's girl. She holds on to my legs and says "up" all day long. She loves walking with her walker, pulling up, is all over the place and into everything. (The dishwasher and dryer are both favorite things at the moment) Lainey is into making silly faces lately and does not want anything to do with her mommy leaving the room. This month Lainey finally got her first tooth. Poor kiddo has been working on that forever it seems like. She is sleeping about 8 hours straight but still not all night long. She goes to bed around eight o'clock every night and wakes up around 4:00 hungry. Lainey is loving the summer and loves to swim. She is getting so tan. I love that she has her daddy's beautiful skin. Lainey loves feeding herself peas, carrots, cheerios, bananas, broccoli and puffs. She is eating three meals and several snacks throughout the day and is still nursing 4-5 times a day as well. Lainey loves laughing at other kids and singing songs. She is now a much better car rider and is loving her new big girl car seat. Right now Lainey takes two to three naps a day. They are no more than 25 minutes a piece so I am learning to work on what I need to really quickly. She is so much fun and although we are in such a clingy stage right now, still tons of fun. Well, as I said she doesn't sleep long. She's up after an 8 minute cat nap. :) Off to go get the munchkin!
