8 months old - Movin' Movin'


Both girls are just getting over colds, so the last week has been rough sleep and patience wise. I'm very thankful I didn't really get sick...whew. But I guess the last 2 months have been harder sleep wise anyway. So sad that the 10 hours of straight sleep for Reese are gone, but its to be expected, I'm lucky I had a good sleeper for 6 months. She gets up usually 2 or 3 times a night right now. Partially because she's moving all over the place when she sleeps, and then when she wakes she needs to see mom. Hmmm naps, she seems to be moving towards one already, she'll take a nice long nap around noon, and then only a 20 min one early evening. If I could get both girls on one nap at the same time I.would.be.estatic!

She's definitely trying to crawl right now, but pretty much doing everything but. She scoots, rolls, drags her lower half around with her arms in a seated position, army crawls in a circular motion, head plants, and is starting to do the funky crawl that Rae did from a seated position with one leg tucked ha. Grabs at everything, and she appears to have a Greg Roth reach on her, always seems to get things I don't think she could possibly reach. And when I'm holding her on my hip, she leans in to get in my line of sight, stares right at me for at least 5 seconds and gives me a huge smile...just saying hi, cracks me up every time. I love it.

Her new sound is a happy growl, usually when she eats, and occasionally a hum, which Rae thinks is hillarious. They hum back and forth and laugh at each other.

2nd bottom tooth came in, 3rd bottom one is about to break through & possibly a top. Im crossing my fingers that she starts crawling and gets her teeth in that are close so she can start sleeping a bit better. Justin and I both seem to running on fumes right now. Need to get some energy back asap. Poor Rae has been fussier than normal lately, I'm pretty sure it's due to Justin & I being tired. But we have Thanksgiving, Christmas (Justin has BOTH off, we lucked out) and cooler weather on the horizon. I'm excited!

Happy Kiddo
Still chubby, but leaning out a lil...maybe
Crazy eyes, she's excited to be standing on her own
Squishy baby sisters are fun to lay on
Before Stroller Strides Halloween Carnival
Post trick or treating she did really well, didn't cry until we got in the car to go home
Starting to get more mobile
Loves to stick her tongue out, nearly impossible to check out her incoming teeth
Getting some use out of our winter beanie, it was a cool 85 out ;)
Such a sweetie, love her
