8 Months old!

Abi is 8 months old! I thing the older she gets the more fun we have! Her little personality is overflowing. She definately let's me know how she feels. :)

This month she...

Pretty much has sitting down. She's fallen over twice and hit her head.

We tried sleep training (It works!) and she's sleeping through the night again! Yay!

She's taking one of her naps in the swing instead of in my arms.

She is playing on her own a little bit more now.

Cries when Matt walks in the door and doesn't pick her up first thing. (Love it!)
Loves, Red Vines, Suckers, chocolate and her newest snacks Yogurt bites, and arrowroot cookies.

She started eating in her high chair because she's growing out of her Bubo. She fell out flat on her face. Poor thing.

She loves the remote, phone and keyboard. (Pretty much anything that takes your interest away from her) :)

Bedtime is now 9:45 instead of 10:30. We will work on getting it earlier. She's a night owl.

She is sleeping unswaddled!!!!
Abi loves her puppies Tank and Roxy (Candice and Matt's dog). She laughes so hard when they play with her.

Still likes guys holding her better than girls.

Absolutely loves the outdoors. It's not going to be fun this Winter. It was so nice being able to take her on walks, to the park or just in the yard.

She is still in 3 month pants and some 3 month pajamas, but mostly 6 month clothes.

She is quite a bit under weight only weighing 13 almost 14 lbs. Her pants are always falling off.

She hates being in her car seat when we are at the store. She wants to see everything.

Absolutely hates being on her stomach. I think she will walk before she crawls.

We are working on sign language to tell me if she wants more.

She's always banging her head on something because she is so wiggly.

Still only bites on her sippy cup even when there is apple juice in it.

Doesn't eat solid very well but s doing better than she was. She is going through a jar in two days vs. a week.
We love her more than life itself. I couldn't imagine life with out her. It is hard work but very worth it.



I couldn't pick my favorite so there are tons of pictures!

UP Party!

Well our 'UP' House Party started off a little Rocky. :) But we finally made it to the house and were able to go inside.

The kid pic. Yes Jacob is still a kid. :)

Natalie and Andy found the hidden room at the top of the stairs. Aubrey didn't want to leave.




I tried to make these cute cloud jello cups but they just didn't turn out as good as my reference. They never do.
Balloon cupcakes.

Abi and Cambria had a good time playing with each other. I think they are starting to interact a little bit more.

I think these girls are going to be best friends.
