Genesis at 8 months


Only 4 more months and my baby is a year and I will be off of maternity! Yikes, where has the time went!!

Genesis at 8 months:

- Weighs 19 lbs.

- Is ____ long.

- Wears size 4 diapers.

- Wears 12 month clothing.

- Now has 5 teeth. She just had three teeth pop in the last 2 1/2 weeks.

- Has her first ear infection and has been pretty run down.

- Is getting more and more confident and let's say daring as she is standing up and letting go.

- Is still such a happy baby.

- Says "Dadda" all the time now. She also says "Mama" and she does actually know what she is saying. Anytime I put her down and walk away from her, she gets angry and babbles "mamamama".

- Goes to Strollersize with Mommy once a week. She is supposed to nap during this time, but I guess there is too much to see, which makes for an interesting rest of the day!

- Gets angry at her brother now and has even tried to bite him (yikes!).

- At the same time, she absolutely adores her big brother and they are starting to play a lot more together now.

- Naps twice a day (if we are lucky) and is still not sleeping that great at night. Some nights she will go down at 8:00 and wake up once to be fed, other nights she won't go down until 10:00 and is up 3 or 4 times! AHHHH and we do the exact same routine every single night!

- Is now in a big 'girl' car seat and I am not liking that!

- Loves to play with her brother's toys and this causes all sorts of issues!

- LOVES to dance and sing and anything to do with music.

- Eats all sorts of food and is now into the chunky food. Plus she really loves the finger foods.

- Is such an active little girl. She just goes everywhere and is never still!

- Started opening the cupboards now.

- Is still the happiest baby around! She is always smiling and we always get comments on how happy she is!

- Cries when you tell her "no".

- Loves her bath time.

She is such a cutie pie! I can't get over how much she's grown and changed. If only she would sleep, hey?!
