It's hard to believe your eight month birthday has already come and gone and in just four short months, we will be celebrating the big first birthday!
You still make "ahhhh" and squeal sounds a lot--you much prefer this to typical baby babbling. And true to form, you did this for a large portion of our photo session this month! Here you are singing up a storm!
Here is our month-by-month collage...{click on the photos to make them bigger}
Here is what Miss Shelby is up to these days....--still a very picky eater when it comes to pureed baby food. When we spoon-feed you, the only things you will consistently eat are fruit rice cereal mixed with milk, sweet potatoes, & bananas.
--loving anything you can feed yourself! Shelby is getting better and better with her pincer grasp and feeding herself finger foods: puffs (you love the banana flavor!), teething biscuits, cheerios, cut up pieces of fruit, or any little bites of whatever we are currently eating! Still no teeth though!
--you love drinking water out of our cups. Such a big girl! You also like drinking out of sippy cups, but you prefer our cups!
--still taking 15mg of Prevacid daily for acid relfux
--"swimming" when she does tummy time..she gets her arms & legs going, but she can't get moving yet.
--still not rolling over at all in either direction, with the exception of this. The pediatrician told us at our 6 month appointment that mobility is harder/comes later sometimes for the "bigger" babies, and that has definitely proved to be true for us so far!
--still only making /b/ and /g/ consonant sounds, but /b/ is the hands-down favorite...she makes that sound all.the.time.
--started taking baths in a big girl tub this month!
--loving time in your pool.
--You continue to be a baby who loves a schedule! We're on a VERY good routine of sleeping 11-12 hours each night, feeding four times each day, and two good naps a day.
--wiggling up a storm these days, and can now wiggle on demand. When we wiggle our bodies, she will wiggle back! It's too cute!
--We have recently started baby sign language with Shelby, and we have introduced the following signs so far: yes, no, more, thank you, & milk.
--Your happy face is still a smile or a wide open mouth. You also like to flap your arms against your body {kind of like a bird} when you are happy.
We love you so much, baby girl!
