Lauren has been growing so quickly. I cannot believe we've already enjoyed 8 months with our sweet Lauren. Here are some fun things about L right now... and this is a combination of things from months 6-8.
- sleeps from 8-8 in your own crib in the room she shares with sister!
- still taking breastmilk (although, as of this week, L is no longer using a bottle if she takes milk. She is on a sippy!)
- eats finger foods (puffs, diced fruit, diced sweet potatoes, peas, yogurt bites, pieces of bread)
- eats cereal and 1/2 a banana at breakfast, 2 veggies at lunch with a few finger foods, and 1 fruit, 2 veggies, and cereal at dinner (she is a BIG eater!) Mommy has made all of her food in the BabyCook.
- she does NOT like broccoli. She seriously cries when we give it to her. She can keep crying. We eat broccoli, a lot. Sorry sister. Get used to it!
- She doesn't really cry. She "screams" or "grunts." It's really quite funny.
- still no teeth.
- her motor skills are amazing... have we mentioned she is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything?
- she isn't a talker. She says, "duh duh duh duh" and mumbles, but we think she's our "listener"while sister is our "talker." :)
- She is seriously one of the happiest babies you'll ever meet. I often say, "She's not a 'real' baby," because people will ask why she'll just sit quietly and play or never make a sound. We just love her.
- She is a snuggler. We love this, especially since our oldest isn't. :)
- She takes 2 small naps and one long nap a day, but she's pretty flexible. She is a "tummy sleeper."
- her favorite toys are: mommy's iPhone, a ball, clifford the big red dog, her animal book, and her bouncer
- she is over 20 lbs., in size 4 diapers, and (prepare yourself) she is in 9-12 month clothes, and most of the 9 month pants are too short. Such a big girl!
- she LOVES taking a bath. Unlike her big sister, she gets on her hands and knees and tries to crawl all over the bathtub. It's scary and hilarious all at the same time.
- Her big sister makes her laugh more than anyone else. I. Love. This.
- She is a sweet blessing.
