Gwendolyn Mary, 6/8/2012 is your 8-month birthday! I can't believe it's been 8 months since I saw your little face held up above the blue curtain in front of me in the OR...I remember being pregnant and worried that I wouldn't "connect" with you right away...so silly...I'll never forget that instant love I felt when I first saw you! There's nothing like it.
You weigh about 22 lbs, and still wearing 12-18-month clothes mostly...although you do fit into 24 month clothes, too! My healthy little meatball.
You just started crawling well a few days ago, and you're now realizing you can explore! (you crawled into mommy and daddy's closet yesterday and had a good time playing with our shoes and making a big mess!) I need to upload video of your first time crawling.
You can pull up to kneeling, and just started pulling up to a stand yesterday in your crib, and now you want to pull up on everything! (Scary when it's a flimsy chair or stool that could topple on you) You can also sit yourself up and sitting on your own very easily.
You now take two naps instead of three, each lasting about 1-1.5 hours (sometimes it's still 45 minutes, but those are getting fewer and fewer), and you usually go down easily without crying (for daddy, it's a different story). You continue to consistently sleep 12 hours at night (7pm-7am)!
You have a new favorite toy- Bobo- a stuffed white and grey dog, who goes with you to take naps every day.
You still love bathtime, and have started to like stroller rides again.
You eat everything (although green beans gave you tummy problems)- you seem to love turkey with sweet potato and you LOVE bananas, apple-pear-banana mix, and plain yogurt!
You're in a "mommy phase" right now, where you want me close by at all times. You have started to cry when I leave you with Nana (which I know is rubbish because you love Nana). Yesterday morning as I left you panicked and started crying as you crawled toward me...heartbreaking, but SO adorable.
You love making raspberries with your mouth, especially when you're being fed...I laugh out loud when you blow into your food and it goes all over your face, and you look so surprised every time.
You babble quite a bit, and sometimes say "mommom". It melts my heart.
We love you so much! Every day is more fun because of you!
