Anyway, Claire's monthly post have been lacking, so I told myself "you have got to write something about that sweet girl this month!" Much has changed since her last post.
-Her favorite toy is anything that she can put in her month and chew on, especially her pacifier.
-Raspy singing/static voice, followed by a shrill scream. Maybe a singer in the future??
-Rolls every way possible.
-Pivots, slides backwards, moves all around the living room. Very close to crawling I think. I can tell she is thinking about it and just trying to figure out how.
-Sits up completely independently (7.5 months). Also, gets down to a crawling position from sitting up, on purpose (not falling into it).
-Prefers to sleep on stomach now (8.5 months). Just put her down on her belly, pacifier in, blanket over back and head, lay her head down, and she is out. Super easy baby!
-Bedtime is closer to 6:30 or 7, sometimes later these days which is great, because she then sleeps until 7 or 7:30am the next morning. She no longer wakes at night mad on her tummy because she now prefers to sleep that way. Yes!
-Eczema is extreme still and we have a whole medicine bag full of products to use on it. It does not seem to bother her which is a blessing because it looks painful.
-She is not big on eating baby food or soft solids. She still prefers to only nurse or take formula. She doesn't even want water or juice. A sippy cup? What's that? Totally unique and different from her brother at this stage. We gave all baby food away and he only nursed 2- 3 a day, and the rest of the time ate everything we did and drank water from a cup. She will get there. She is a happy, so I know she is not starving.
-Eyes are blue, hair is turning blonde. Weighs 15 pounds. Tiny girl. Wears 6 month clothes and some are still too big.
-Very happy, content baby. Loves to watch Cole play and he is beginning to play with her and her play back.
-Loves to nap in her pool float! Awesome!
