8 Months Old

Happy Birthday Addy-girl! She's done it again. She's another month old and I still don't like the idea of her growing up :( But I guess I'm going to have to get over that because she's not going to stop! Here's what's been happening this past month...
 
 
I guess our biggest change would be the DocBand. My sugar plum got her newest accessory the week of Thanksgiving. She's only had it on for 3 weeks and I can already see such a big change! The sides of her head are already evening out and the back of her head is starting to round out! She has been a little champ through the whole thing. She doesn't seem to mind it one bit, but she does play with it some. Hopefully she'll only have to wear it another month and then we'll have this behind us! This week we are going to 360 Wraps to have Addy's helmet decorated. Don't worry I'll make sure to have a new post to tell you all about it!!
PS-this is the shirt that got ruined by blueberries :(

Eating, eating, and more eating. I can hardly keep up with this girl! She still has her milk every 3-4 hours during the day and also eats three meals a day. We haven't introduced too many new foods this month. Only blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower. She let me know that she's not a huge cauliflower fan, but who is? We have tried quite a few new snack foods and she loves them all! MumMums, teething cookies, yogurt drops, and lil crunchies are all favs. They're perfect for keeping her entertained when we're at a restaurant and she's getting restless! She's normally pretty clean while eating, but a few nights ago she stuck her fingers in her mouth, after I had just given her a bite of carrots, and then used her carrot covered hands to rub her sleepy eyes...at least she was getting a bath after this meal.
The Real Carrot Top
 
 
She also got her first tooth this month! Followed quickly by the second one! I knew it was coming soon because the day before it popped through she practically slept the day away. Poor baby did not feel good and ran a fever as well. Tooth #1 came in on Monday and tooth #2 showed up on Thursday! Ryan already thinks she has his teeth, lol. You can barely see them in this picture, but they're there! Sharp little things too!
Showing off her toofies

Sleep is still going good, praise Jesus! Three 30 minutes naps a day, and only waking up once at night! I'll take it! Unfortunately our baby monitor quit working and I haven't gone to buy a new one, so it makes it a little harder to hear her if she's crying. But I make a good work out of running up and down the stairs checking on her all day long! Our bed time routine is still the same and it definitely works for her. With the DocBand we have to wash her hair every night, and lucky for me she loves bath time! It's so much fun to watch her splash around and play with her toys!

Clean Girl

Last month she had started crawling and this month she is practically a speed crawler! The girl can move. She very quickly figured out how to get from room to room. She loves crawling down the hallway and feeling the different textures of the carpet and tile. I haven't bought any baby gates yet, bad mommy I know, but we don't have too much she can get in to. When I'm in the kitchen I'll turn our end table to block her in a little bit. Now she has figured out how to crawl into the table, but she hasn't learned how to get out. I sent Ryan this picture saying she had locked herself in jail. She cried and I laughed-mean momma.
Help!
 
 
God is so good for chosing me to be the mommy to this precious girl! I love her more and more every day!!!
