Alex is 8 Months on 5.24.15









Weight: 19 pounds 0 ounces

Height: Not sure. Will find out at 9 Month checkup.


Eating:   Still breastfed and also is eating solids 2 times per day on average. Her favorite are carrots and sweet potatoes. She also loves eating fruits (especially frozen fruit) out of mesh food holders. She tried watermelon for the first time on Memorial Day and loved it!

Diapers: Pampers Size 3 Swaddlers.

Clothing: Mostly 9 month clothing, with some 6 month and some 12 month mixed in- depending on if it is tight or loose.




Milestones from 6-8 Months:

  • Moves from sitting to "crawl" position,but is not crawling just yet.  Soon though! 
  • Has had 2 teeth on bottom since about 6 months, but the top front teeth are very close to popping through (you can see the white)
  • Says "dadadadada" all day long.  Also does the cutest scrunchy face and loves to babble.  Have not heard a consistent "Mama" yet.  
  • Pulls herself to standing in her crib. 
  • Drinks small sips of water out of her sippy cup. 
  • Claps her hands. 


Loves:
  • Riding in her new hiking pack.
  • Playing in her crib by herself and babbling when she wakes up.
  • Sitting in her high chair at dinner time and eating something herself!



Sleeping:   Goes to bed at 7 PM and sleeps usually until 4-5 and wakes for a feeding. Then goes back to sleep until around 6:30 AM. Consistently takes one morning nap that is 1.5 hours but is inconsistent with her afternoon nap.

Favorite Baby Items: 


  • Kelty Pathfinder Baby Carrier 3.0-
    Here in Colorado we love to hike, so this is an essential for our family.  She has already rode in the carrier for 2 different hikes and did amazing!  Our first hike was only 3 miles and she was ready to get out by the end, but the second hike she rode in it for 3 hours (6.5 miles) and was as happy as can be.  We took one break and let her get out at the summit of the hike (halfway) but other than that she just hung out in it.  Itis very well made and she even was able to take a little nap it in.
