eight months

Harlow is eight months old- January 8, 2013

Way too hard to get any decent pictures of her this month! Between her distaste for sitting still, runny/red nose, and blatant disregard to Mommy's persistent request that she smile...the following are as good as it got....

      Bottom two teeth and top two (unsightly) fangs

 Clearly she didn't give one hoot that I wanted to take her picture. She was too busy.

At eight months old.....
weight: 15 1/2 pounds (according to home scale)
length: 25 1/2 inches (but impossible to measure while she's crawling away!)
diaper size: size 2
clothes: 6 month, some 9 month
bottles: 5 oz. usually every 3 hours, sometimes less
food: eats and loves all baby food, lives for puffs, and would kill for real food (we'll try more soon)
Little things about Harlow.....
-she's way too fast, always on the go
-she can be the happiest baby ever, but if she sees me, she whines and wants me
-sitting is still not on her list of favorite things to do
-has 2 top teeth coming in (incisors) and it is not attractive, she looks like a vampire
-still gets red dots on her face due to drool, spit, and snot
-has a red nose everyday, all day
-still loves to sleep and goes to bed for naps and at night like a rockstar!
-goes to bed at 7:30/8:30pm until 5/6am, drinks a bottle, sleeps again until 8/9am
-naps twice a day, about 2 hours each
-can get puffs/melts to her mouth by herself, and will shovel them in given the chance
-can climb up steps, very unstable
-likes to be in the toy room
-favorite place to crawl to is Bella's food, pretty sure she's eaten it a couple times, yuck!
-is always pulling herself up to her feet
-still spits up and has stained everyone's clothes at least once
-sucks in her bottom lip, causing a red chin
-shakes her head "no no" and thinks its hilarious
-we put the bumper in her crib so her 10 do-dos don't fall out, she'll put them in and fall back to sleep
-knows she's naughty when she goes by the fireplace, which is often
-her hair fuzz is finally starting to come in
-she takes baths alone and crawls around the tub, playing toys and splashing
-she still loves Sophie the Giraffe
-seems to love daycare, she's all smiles when I drop her off and never cares that I leave
-if someone tries to take her from me, she swats them away
-the girl has a wardrobe to die for and will probably never wear all of the pretty clothes
-she'll probably grow up thinking her name is Sis, Sissy, or Sister
