Hayden: 8 months

What's Happening with Hayden

Weight:  ??? (heavy)
Length:  ??? (short)

Milestones: Yikes! This month darn near got away from me! I never got her weighed, and that picture up there was taken dangerously close to NINE months, but we barely made it. Bad mommy!

Our sweet little Haydie is growing up too fast! We have got to get her crib lowered very soon, as she can pull up to her knees when she wakes up at night and peek right over the railing. Luckily she's not too daring yet, but I know those days are numbered.

She's sleeping so much better, thanks to the fact that she will now find her binky and pop it back in by herself. She'll ocasionally want one bottle at night, but not every night.

She is sooo close to crawling, but she's kinda lazy. She rocks forward from sitting all the time, but then plops right back to her butt. If we prop her up on her hands and knees, she just falls on her belly and whines to us (and of course we pick her up...she's our baby!). She never rolls over anymore either. That's OK, we're in no rush for her to be mobile. That just means having to chase one more child. ;)

She's not really interested in solid foods. I try over and over again, but she still takes just a few bites and she's done. She does, however, LOVE puffs! As soon as I pull out the container she's smiling and waving her arms.

She does this funny thing where she blows air (and sometimes snot) through her nose over and over while scrunching up her face...so cute!

She's starting to get a little bit of stranger danger, and won't let others hold her, especially if mommy is in sight.

She drinks 5 oz. bottles of formula, every 2-3 hours.

Favorite activities: Sitting up playing with toys, eating puffs.

Least favorite activities: Having her clothes changed and boogers picked.

Misc. update: She's wearing 9 month clothes, size 2 shoes size 3 diapers.
