8 Months!!!

8 Months old Today!!

 

 

Daylynn you are now 8 months old!! Holy taledo, it doesn't seem possible!

This last month has been extra busy so that doesn't help by any means!  I will say though that you have been HEALTHY!!! Yayy!

Let's start off with the stats...

You are weighing in at 19 lbs. 12 oz.

Not sure the measurement for sure since you don't like to sit still.  We got about 27 inches.  (Looking back at your last month you were 27 1/4 so either you are shrinking-not really, or somewhere we got the measurement wrong.)

 

What's been going on this month?!

• You are still getting in to EVERYTHING! You are keeping us on our toes thats for sure. 
• With that being said, you are learning the words NO! It is quite hilarious, and you are quite the tester!  Just this morning, you would pull up on the book shelf and start to touch picture frames and I would say nooo, so you'd pull your hand back.  Then you'd try to touch it again and I'd say noooo again and you'd pull it back real fast.  After that back and forth for a few minutes, you crawled over to the TV stand.  We have it barracaded off with toy boxes, diaper boxes turned into toy boxes, pillows, anything really to keep you away.  You still can maneuver through some and try to stand on it.  We tell you no and you pull back and then try to go again.  It cracks me up and takes a bit to keep a straight face while telling you no because you are so stinkin onery and know what you are doing!  (You get that from dad-not mom :) )
• Speaking of pulling up on everything, you are walking while holding on to things; furniture, or holding hands. 
• You even stood up all by yourself for a good 10 seconds.  It was AWESOME!!!
• You are still crawling around like speedy gonzales! You are a fast little rugrat.  Our house is small but you can get from one room to the next in a matter of seconds.  We have fun chasing you around.
• First sleep over with Grandma Tanji and Grandpa Joe-Mom and dad had a bachelor/bachelorrette weekend to go for "Aunt Jess and Uncle Phil.  I think it was harder on mom then you.  You, of course, were awesome for Grandma and slept very good.  (Now if only you'd sleep that well for mom too)
• We got to go back to Grandma and Grandpa's the next weekend too for some more family time!  My favorite is seeing you and Addi, your cousin, together! She loves her little baby and you love your cousin too.  It's the best! You two are going to be the best of friends growing up! I can already tell!
• First 4th of July!!! This is probably one of mom's most favorite holidays.  My family would always go to the parade and the carnival and watch the Wamego Fireworks show every year.  Great Grandma Day loved this holiday as well.  This was the second 4th without her, but the first was right after her passing so this year was harder without her around.  We just stayed in Great Bend this year and celebrated as our little family.  It was very nice and relaxing.  You weren't quite sure about fireworks at first because it was an unexpected popping sounds.  Eventually you did ok. :) 
• You are eating more table foods.  I tried some of the 3rd stage foods for you and you weren't quite sure so we stuck with the 2nd stage, however, loved eating anything we were eating.  You loooove mashed potatoes especially.  You now eat more of the 3rd stage foods and some of what we eat too.  (Speaking of eater, you are a little chunk still-oh well we love our chunky monkey :)

I believe that is about it for this last month. We have another big month coming up! First trip to Omaha Zoo, Aunt Jess/Uncle Phil's wedding, Mom and Dad's Anniversary, and starting at your new daycare come August so mom can get some work done at school before it starts back up! (Not too excited to give my time up with you again!-but it will all be ok!)

Looking cute on the 4th!

I love my Uncle AND Stroller Rides! Look at those baby blues!!

Chewing on her 8 month sticker. Onery rugrat!

Chillin in the fort with Dad! haha again you go anywhere and into everything!!

Daylynn, you are getting more and more fun! I loved when you were a little bitty thing and snuggled with mom, and I love chasing you around and playing with you now just as much, plus you still snuggle with me so its ok :)  I can't wait to watch you grow over the next month and months to come! You are definitely the cutest little thing around and we can't get enough of you! We are so blessed to call you our daughter and can't thank you enough for being a little cutie pie you are :) We love you oodles and oodles!!
