Sweet Annie is almost 9 months, but I'd like to take this post and celebrate her 7th and 8th month of life before she's technically not 8 months anymore! Here's a few things Annie's been up to. (Disclaimer: I started this list when she was almost 7 months old, so I'm hoping I remember what happened when when.)
7 months:
- Sitting up really well
- Squealing- Loves to sleep on her tummy (but STILL will not roll back from her tummy to back. It's not that she can't; she apparently just doesn't want to. If she is reaching for something and accidentally starts to roll onto her back, she will catch herself and throw herself back over to her tummy. SHEESH!)
- Transitioned to her high chair
- Can wear a bow in her hair - YIPPEE!
- Will giggle if you shake your head back and forth or tickle her under her arms - so cute!
- Her laughing often turns to crying
- Doesn’t babble.... Sings! Loudly!

- Smiles all the time
- Down to four feedings a day plus eating baby food 3 times a day

8 months:
- Eating baby food – one jar at every meal
- Getting on all fours from a sitting position
- Reaching for everything!
- Eats puffs, but won’t put them into her own mouth
- Loves baths and splashing around
- Wearing some 6 months/9 months clothing
- Still loves to jump ALL THE TIME! In the bouncer, when you're holding her, when she's standing up, etc.
- Still no teeth!
- Loves to stare at people from the grocery cart or her high chair in a restaurant until they look at her and smile
- Goes to bed at 7 and wakes up at 6 or 6:30
- Rough last month of sleeping... started getting up several times during the night just to say hello!
- FINALLY mastered the art of putting her pacifier back in her mouth - can I get a hallelujah?!?
