Sweet Caroline turned 8 months old today! To celebrate, she had her first experience with baby food meat...chicken! She loved it! She has never been very fussy about food though. Right now she nurses first thing in the morning. Then she has rice cereal and a bottle (or nurses, if we're both home) around 9:30. Lunch is a veggie and another bottle around 1:30. She rotates through squash (a fave), sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, and carrots. Supper is about 5:30 and consists of nursing and a fruit...and now a meat! She eats all these fruits: bananas (favorite!), applesauce, peaches, and pears. Today, the boys and I bought her "puffs." We'll try the sweet potato and banana versions first. I am sure she will like those, too! What is she up to at 8 months?
~Sitting alone temporarily
~ Sleeping 10 to 12 hours each night
~Taking a morning and an afternoon nap
~Smiling ALL the time!
~Vocalizing a lot...dadada and buhbuhbuh are commonly heard
~ Also says "hot-uh"...it's hilarious!
~Blowing out her cheeks and spits-see pic on another post about that!
~Watching everything her big brothers do...she thinks they are hilarious!
~Dancing when JC or Caden play the drums...loves a drumline like her Mama!
~Making beginning crawling efforts...kicking those legs in unison and bobbing that head
~Giving sugar...loves it when we say "Aw-wee!" afterward
~Is ticklish
~Backing away from Daddy when he tries to kiss her if he's dirty from work
~Being an incredibly sweet blessing to all who know her! We are so blessed God chose us to be her family...even her big brothers agree!
John Collier and Caden had to have a picture today, too! Except they couldn't tear their eyes away from the Wii game they were playing. Just like their Daddy... :)
