B: 8 months

Time flies when you're having fun, or raising four kids. B hit the 8 month mark last weekend, and I can't believe I'll be going back to work in just 3 months.

She tipped the scale at 16lbs7oz (50th percentile), and officially weighs more than both her older sisters did at a year, and is only 5.5lbs away from her 2.5 year old sister. Putting her bucket seat in the van is turning into an olympic weight lifting event.

She cut her first two teeth, putting a bit of a damper on her otherwise uber cheerful personality. Normally she has a big smile for anyone she meets.

She can wave when she's in the mood, snuggle upon request, say both mama and dada (although mama is definitely the preferred word), and play peek a boo.

She loves her solid food, probably more than a bottle, and will eat just about anything.

 

B loves
-frozen teething rings
-music
-peek a boo
-watching her sisters' dance parties and musical concerts
-quiet time in her bed with some toys
-grabbing noses

B hates
-sleeping lately (most of the time)
-getting her eye cleaned or nose wiped
-being blocked by toys or furniture when she is rolling around


As you can see, the list of things she loves is twice as long as the things she doesn't. She is our big ball of sugar, spice, and EVERYTHING nice.
