You just turned 8 months old. Today you had your doctors appointment. You are at 50th percentile for weight and 70th for height. How is that even possible? Well, how is it even possible you are suddenly 8 months old? Lots of things have happened in the last month. Now, you sleep through the night. It has made me so happy. You have a nightly routine and then you sleep very quietly and do not wake until morning. And then in the morning as soon as you wake up, you stand up on your crib and start making happy noises. Your beautiful face every morning is the perfect beginning to a day.
The other milestone is, you stand holding onto things. It is early for that, but you are on the go. I kind of don't like that you are growing so fast. You are also crawling on your knees, but when the going gets tough, you fall back to army crawling. That, you have down pat. Your personality is so bubbly and happy and loving. In your hierarchy of people you love, I am first (or maybe second after Neil). The doctor told me today to enjoy that as it will change very soon. I am enjoying kissing you and holding you meanwhile. I cannot cuddle you too much as you like to wiggle a lot.
You did a bunch of traveling this month. We went to my sister's house in Maryland. You were a really good baby during the travel. You had such a good time with my sister and family. You got very attached to my sister and she totally fell in love with you. Not that it would be a hard thing to do. ha. You celebrated your first Christmas with a lot of family.
You still love bath time and you laugh so much. Nice, big, belly laughs. I cannot get enough of that. I am still scared of how Neil rough houses with you, but you take it all in stride. He can do nothing wrong in your eyes. The naughtier he is, the louder you laugh.
My precious, sweet baby girl, I love you so much. I cannot get enough of your smiles, and laughs and your lovely personality. You bring SO MUCH JOY in to our lives. I was telling your Dada the other day that we should have named you Joy. I hope you grow up in to a lovely woman of God. I can't wait.
