8 Months Old

Holy Smokes, it's been awhile!  To all my faithful followers, I'm sorry!  This little girl has been super busy lately and just hasn't had the time to sit down to blog.  I'm back now though and I PROMISE that I won't have another blogging hiatus again!!!

Today, I am 8 MONTHS OLD!!!  Everyone has been asking my mommy and daddy what all I can do, how much I weigh, what I am eating, etc., so let me just tell you myself:

-I weigh 19 lbs., 8oz. (75th percentile)

-I am 27 1/4 inches long (60th percentile)

-I got my 1st TOOTH (bottom, right) on February 4th and man, that sucker HURT!!!  Mommy says it won't be long before I get more because my gums are super swollen.  Infants Motrin has definitely become my best friend lately!!!

-I learned how to CLAP on January 29th!  I absolutely LOVE it when my crazy parents sing "If Your Happy and You Know It" or "Patty Cake".  I have soooo much fun clapping my hands! 

-I learned how to say "da-da" last night (February 10th) and now that's all I want to say...da-da-da-da-da-da-da.....ALL DAY LONG :) 

-  I am "cruising" on all the furniture and even attempt to let go and stand every once in awhile.  I can't stand for more than 1 or 2 seconds, but I sure am trying! 

-I am drinking 6 ounce bottles every 3-4 hours and eating 3 "meals" a day.  I usually have oatmeal in the morning and a veggie and fruit at lunch and dinner.  Yumm-O!

-I take 2-3 naps a day, but they sure don't last long.  I usually give my mom about 30-45 minutes of sanity time....max!!! 

-I am wearing 9 month tops, 12 month pants, and size 3 or 4 shoes.  No, I am not a chubby...I am just tall like my mommy and need pants that fit me properly and don't look like shorts! 

-And last but not least, I am OBSESSED with Trooper's food and water bowl.  If my parents would let me, I would much rather eat Trooper's food insetad of my own.  I don't know what their problem is.  They freak out any time I get anywhere near his bowls.  I'ts becoming quite the game these days.  I go for the bowls, they move me....I go back for the bowls, they move me again....!  You get the picture, right?  I think it's hillarious!!!

So friends, that's what's been going on in my world lately.  As I said, I'm a busy girl these days.  I hear that we have some road trips planned for the next couple of weekends.  Just great!  I look forward to the day we move out of the stinkin' Valley so I don't have to keep going on these 6, 7, or 8 hour drives.  Ugh!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's day on Sunday!  Make sure to save some kisses for me :)
