8 Months

Emma, you are 8 months old! Here’s what you have been up to:

-We don’t know your weight but will know by your 9 months appointment.

-You wear 6 month and some 6-9 month clothing. Some 9 month jammies.

-You eat about 6-7 oz every 4 hours. You get 24-30 oz per day. You eat at 6:30am, 10:30am, 2:30pm, and 6:30pm.

-You started eating really good on your solids this month and have about ½ to a full container 2-3 times a day.

-You are also doing better with finger foods and I let you have very small pieces.

-You take a morning nap of about an hour starting at 9am, an afternoon nap of about 1.5 hours starting at 11:30, and sometimes a cat nap afterschool/before bed.

-You go to bed at about 6:30 and wake up at 6:30. You don’t care for a routine much although we do bathe, book, bottle, bed.

-You are still babbling up a storm

-You still enjoy rolling and standing up

-You have gotten on all fours a few times this month but don’t have much interest in crawling. You get on all fours from a sitting position

-You have still been sick on and off with ear infections! You have a constant cold from daycare so the fluid causes ear infections because it doesn’t drain properly. I see tubes in our future. You don’t run many fevers with your ear infections, but really lose your appetite and vomit.

-you made your first trip to the ER this month that was cut short. It turned out to be a bad ear infection.

-You traveled this month to Florida and did great again on the plane!

-Your favorite toy is your walker

-We love watching you grow and learn sweet girl!
