Length: 29"

Percentiles: 90% in height, 40% in weight

Eating: 3 meals per day. She still isn’t a fan of most meat except turkey.

Bedtime: Usually around 7:30 but if she’s tired she’ll go to bed closer to 7:00.

Awake: She slept until 8:00 once this month, but it’s still normal for her to wake up around 6:30. Usually I make her wait in her crib until 7:00.

Naps: She had a hard time napping in the afternoon this month. She’s too interested in everything that’s going on to nap!

Diapers: size 3

Clothes: In PJs she has to have 12 months now. Some 6-9 month things still fit, but she’s wearing most

ly 9-12 month clothes now.

Favorites: Standing! She stands on anything and everything she can get her hands on.

Dislikes: Lying down on her back. She gets suspicious that you’re going to do something to her like put a shirt on or clean her nose.
She is also not a fan of having her nose wiped. Not even with kleenex and the boogies wipes don’t help either.

Latest accomplishment: She finally said “mama” but she doesn’t say it very often. She also stands on everything.

Weight: We had to go to the doctor this month for a cold so she was weighed there. She weighs 17 lb and 2 oz

Eating: Still eating 3 meals/day. We started giving her pureed meats this month. She really isn’t a fan so I tried to make some fresh chicken and veggies. She equally didn’t like my cooking! LOL

Bedtime: Still going to bed around 7:30 but she can stay up later when something is going on without getting too fussy.

Awake: Most days it’s anywhere from 6:00-7:00. A couple of times this month I got a 7:30 and a 7:45 out of her. Both times though I wasn’t able to sleep in so it didn’t do me any good.

Naps: Still taking a morning and an afternoon nap. I’m not sure when she’s supposed to give up the morning nap, but I don’t think we’re anywhere close!

Diapers: Moved up to size 3. Big girl!

Clothes: She’s still in 6-9 month clothes and a few 9-12 months. Most of the 6-9 stuff fits fine unless it runs small. In the smaller brands she’s in 12 month.

Favorites: She loves to clap now. She’ll clap for anything. Sometimes she’ll even cry and to soothe herself she’ll start clapping.

Dislikes: We had a hard time this month getting her to adjust from the infant bath to the big girl bath. We got her a few toys to distract her and that’s helped. She has also started crying every time I take off or put on a shirt.

Latest accomplishment: This month was a big month for her! She learned to clap, say “da-da”, crawl, and she’s attempting to stand. She’s so proud of herself when she claps. She waits for us to say “yaaay” and then she’ll clap some more.

Don't ask an 8th month old to sit still or you'll get a lot of this...

and this

So we tried again after dinner and she wanted to take off.

So she did more of this...

Oh well.

Wait! Another month has gone by??? What is happening??

Weight: According to my home scale she weighs 16 pounds!

Eating: She eats her three main meals per day and then a bottle before bed. I think I’m going to start combining the bottle with the last feeding this month.

Bedtime: Usually around 7:30

Awake: Still stirring around 6:30. I can usually get her to wait it out on the weekend until 7:00 but she’s awake.

Naps: Usually taking a nap in the morning and a nap in the afternoon. They’re anywhere from an hour to two hours. I prefer the two-hour naps, but she hasn’t asked my opinion yet.

Diapers: Still in size two. She could probably wear size three but I still have several size twos left so we’re going to use them up!

Clothes: Mostly 6-9 and 9 months. Most of her 6 month clothes are too small. PJs have to be 9 months or bigger. 12 month PJs fit fine now too.

Favorites: Apparently last month I wrote about Kaizer being her favorite. L
She’s started to notice all animals and wants to grab them. She had a spat with Cinnamon today I’m sure due to her over active interest in animals.
She loves slapping her toys and people’s hands with her hand open now.
She also likes to pull my hair- HARD!

Dislikes: Sitting still in a movie. When she was younger she would sleep or at least could be pacified by standing off to the side. Not anymore. I tried to keep her quite which resulted in an incredibly loud scream of frustration. No more movies!

Latest accomplishment: She started to get up on all fours this month and rocks back and forth. She’s tried to make crawling movements but face plants each time. She’s REALLY close though!

Her first 2 teeth!

I cannot believe we are already at 6 months! 6 months ago we started on a journey that was scary and uncertain and I had no idea what I was doing, but I have enjoyed every second of these last 6 months. I feel so many mixed emotions when she hits another month older because I’m so excited about the things she’s doing and learning but I love each stage so much that I’m sad to see it go. And right now she’s just started to show when she loves someone and she lights up when certain people are talking to her and she grabs my face and just stares and it absolutely melts my heart!! You can just tell that she thinks the world of some people and then is unsure of others. She’s so expressive and already has such a personality at 6 months old.

Weight: 14 lb, 15 oz

Percentiles:75^th in height, 25^th in weight

Eating: She’s still eating 4 times per day. She drinks formula around 8:00, eats a veggie at noon and drinks a smaller bottle. She eats a veggie and fruit around 5:00 and then drinks her last bottle around 7:00.

Bedtime: She’s going to sleep earlier and earlier. She’s usually out before 8:00.

Awake: She still wakes up around 7:00 but she’s starting to stir around 6:30. We’ve gotten a couple 7:30s out of her too.

Naps: Still take 2 longer naps after breakfast and lunch and then maybe a short one before dinner but we’re trying to stick to the 2.

Diapers: Size two still, but not for long. At night I have to put her in a 3 or the 12 hour Pampers because she pees through the huggies 2s. There was a week where I changed her PJs and sheets around 4:00 AM 3 mornings in a row. I decided no more Huggies at night!!

Clothes: All 6 months, some 6-9 and PJs have to be 9 months for the length.

Favorites: She enjoys rolling across the floor now. I’ll put her on a blanket and go to unload the dish washer and I’ll come back and she’s 6 feet from where I left her.

She also likes to grab the water out of the sprayer when she takes a bath.

She’s started to notice the dogs and she stares at Kaizer and follows him with her eyes wherever he goes. She’s very intrigued by him.

She also likes to grab EVERYTHING!! It makes it hard to hold her and do something else because she wants whatever is in front of her.

Dislikes: Being sick- but who doesn’t really? She caught a cold last week and was MISERABLE. There were 2 nights that were really rough and one in particular where she cried and was so pathetic that I practically held her all night and cried with her. It was heart breaking!

Latest accomplishment: Rolling across the floor. She also notices when you get closer and further away from her and she thinks it’s funny when you come close to her slowly.

Still has to eat the stickers!
