8 Months Old

Wearing her first pair of skinny jeans/jeggings. Not sure how I feel about those yet...
Weight: 20 pounds

Height: 28.5 inches

Clothing Size: A collection of 6-9 and 9-12 month

Special Outings: Trip to Austin, went out for an Easter egg hunt, and a baby shower for one of Mommy's friends

Firsts: Teeth (well at least the start of two), successful crawling, and pulling up on things

Likes: Eating lots of yummy food including beets, bananas, broccoli, cauliflower, and bread, playing with flour, squealing in Mommy's ear, playing with Mommy's hair, being tickled, getting into everything Mom and Dad tell me not to, singing in the bathtub, falling asleep in Mommy's arms, plastic bags, shopping with Mom, riding on Dad's shoulders, and chewing on the toothpaste bottle

Dislikes: The sun in my eyes during walks, hot weather, being left alone, getting two teeth at once, falling on my face, having toys (i.e tv remote, phone) taken away from me, and people talking about my chubby thighs

Any big changes: I am into EVERYTHING! I always want to be holding something, whether it be a toy, the phone, computer, etc. Recently, I discovered that I can crawl to boxes/containers/buckets and reach in to see what's in them. Mom really likes that new trick of mine... I am a very active little baby, even in my sleep. Feeding me has become quite the production as I am easily distracted. There's always something to look at and try to touch.

Biggest Lessons Learned: This month, it has finally dawned on me that I have the potential to really mess Ashton up. I have no clue how my parenting will affect her until it's too late. I hope she turns into a smart, lovely young lady who people want to be around. I can try my best to raise her to know right from wrong and how to be kind. But parenting seems to be the ultimate form of delayed gratification. I won't know how anything turns out for several years from now! Oh and I've perfected the art of changing a diaper of a crawling, nonstop baby.
