Life on Summerwood Blvd: Sophia Jo {eight months}

Where, oh where, has my tiny little baby gone?! Another month seemed to fly right on by and our little peanut girl is already 8 months!! I am beginning to understand why people have kids quite close together now...I SUPER miss having a little baby to cuddle on all of the time! HOWEVER, I don't miss it quite enough to start that whole process all over again quite yet!! Ha!

This was a super exciting month for Sophia as we celebrated her first Christmas! It was such a wonderful day, and we made special memories that will last a lifetime. This month Sophia began her quest to crawling! We are still not quite there yet...she is having major 'big baby' issues and hasn't figured out how to get her big tummy off the ground! Although she has gotten really good at just scooting herself backwards around the house. This month also included many sleepless nights! Not too sure what the cause was but we are working on it! This Mama needs some sleep STAT!

I have a feeling this next month is going to bring BIG things for our sweet girl!! Hopefully some crawling, and a tooth or two!!

Highlights from this month...

*You are 22.4 pounds and just over 28' long!! Still sitting at the 98th percentile for height and weight! You are a SOLID little girl!*

*You LOVE to eat! I nursed you almost until your 8 month birthday, but now you are on all formula and doing great! You also LOVE all of the solids we have given you, but I think your favourite is raspberries!*

*You want to crawl SOOO bad!! And you try SOOO hard!! Your arms and legs are just a motoring but you still haven't figure out how to lift yourself up yet!*

*You have found your screaming voice once again! Just lovely! ha!*

*You are wearing mostly 12 month clothes now! My tall girl!!*

*You are having some sleep issues and we think some of the problem might be teeth!! Hopefully they start arriving soon!*

*You are extremely good with your hands! You have mastered the pincher grip and can feed yourself cereal puffs and other smaller foods!*

*You have really started to 'play' with toys! Which is GREAT, seeing how you got a ZILLION of them for Christmas!!*

*Your hair is getting really long and starting to get a curl/wave to it! Its really long on the side but shorter in the back...so your first haircut is probably in the near future!!*

*You have VERY strong legs! Thunder thighs just like your Mama! You love to stand up and hold yourself at the couch or coffee table! And you like to 'walk' when we hold your hands up!*

This is what your month looked like...

You HATE having anything on your feet!

So you often look like this...one slipper on...the other tucked under your arm!
