 On the outside almost as long as in :)

June had a big week- she pulled up to her knees; She ate chicken (her first meat) and LOVED it; And she cut her first tooth!

[8] months June

8 whole months! 

Diapers: cloth and size 3

Clothes:  I am squeezing her into a couple of Christmas outfits that are 6 months, but she's really in 6-9, 6-12, and 9 months.

Growing Up: June LOVES eating. She eats pretty much anything we give her, but pasta seems to be her least favorite. Pears, sweet potatoes, and zucchini are still the favorite. June isn't crawling yet (which surprises us!), but she can get to where she wants to go by rolling, moving in circles, pushing herself backwards, or pushing with her legs when she's on her back. She also has ZERO teeth, but I can see two that just haven't pushed through the gum yet (bottom).

Likes: kicking her legs, sitting up, standing up while holding someone's fingers/leaning on something, crinkly noises (especially wipe bags), links, watching big brother, finding mommy in a room, squealing, jumparoo, moving/rolling around, smiling, trying to sit up, chewing on cloth, feeling different textures, being thrown in the air, doing airplane, playing peek a boo (especially with Cooper), watching people in mirrors

Dislikes: mommy leaving the room, poopy diapers, being tired and having to eat real food, mommy feeling for teeth

Schedule:  We are mostly on a schedule, though different activities disrupt it.

7:15-7:30- up

7:45- breakfast

9:00- nap

12:00- lunch

12:45- nap

4:30- nap (if needed)

6:00- supper

6:45- bath

7:00- bedtime

We have worked really hard since we got home from Baltimore to get her down to twice a night wakings. She even only woke up once one night. So the nights are still long, but we are getting there. Her second feeding is creeping closer and closer to her wake up time, so I'm hoping she will drop that in the next few weeks on her own. We will sleep one day! (At this age, Cooper slept through the night most nights... sigh.)

Moments: June had her first cold this month... while we were driving to Baltimore. First trip to urgent care (in Baltimore). And first ear infection. :( She did really well on the 800 mile drive though, and now has been to VA, WV, and MD. She also celebrated her first Thanksgiving.

And her tummy has gotten over corn and beans... I'm so excited for chili and cornbread. Dairy still upsets her reflux, and I haven't tried peaches yet. Add that to my to-do list.
