8 months old!

Measurements:
Weight 14 lbs 6 ounces
Not sure about length

Wearing:
Size 2 diapers
6 months clothes
still can't keep shoes on...she has tiny feet!

Eats:
2 solid meals a day (brunch and dinner)
cereal, yogurt and fruit in the morning and cereal yogurt and veggies for dinner
nurses first thing in the morning and before bed
takes 2-3 6 ounce bottles a day
she also drinks water from a sippy cup!

Still takes medicine for her hemangioma 3 times a day and we are keeping her on the prevacid for her reflux until we wean the other medicine.

Sleeps:
usually goes to bed at 8 and I wake her up to eat and take medicine at 6 and then she goes back to sleep until 9ish. She takes short cat naps while she is at school (20-30 minutes a couple times a day) and then falls asleep on our way home from school!

Loves:
putting EVERYTHING in her mouth! watching her dogs. smiling and laughing. rubbing noses and growling with her daddy. bath time. watching her reading dvd's. car rides. things that make noise. morning snuggles with her mommy. her big green monkey (?) from Ryan. being tickled. peek-a-boo. vegetables. going to school, playing with her friends. her feet!

Does not love:
sleeping unswaddled (still trying to wean that). being away from the action! getting strapped in to her carseat. being hungry. fruits. (it is really hard to think of things that she doesn't like)

She is a VERY happy baby. Even this month when she has been sick...pretty much the whole month :(. Startled with the sniffles, turned into a cough and then an ear infection. Still coughing and congested...going on 3 weeks now. Hoping we are getting to the end of it!

Happy 8 months old Ashlyn Mae! We love you :)





Some other pictures from this month. Most of them are from our phones so I apologize for the poor quality. She really doesn't sleep nearly as much as it seems from these pictures!
