8 Months

My little baby girl Hannie is 8 months old today. Last night we went to visit some friends and their two week old daughter. I couldn't believe how big Johanna looked next to her! She was so sweet, she loved the baby girl and would gently caress her arm. She even used her quiet voice while we were visiting and only squealed once when she saw their puppy dog. Keeping up with last month's post here are a few Johanna 8 month old facts:

 -prefers scrambled eggs over hard boiled but loves squishing hard boiled eggs between her fingers

 -nurses 5 times a day sometimes 6 if it is extra hot out and eats 3 meals a day of solids.

-loves making clucking noises and blowing raspberries

 -her favorite toy is her plastic Minnie Mouse figurine our friend brought back from Disney World

-her favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

 -still has a gummy smile, no teeth!

 -practices curling her tongue, she can do it when she coughs and every once in a while she does it on her own! (Grandpa Brian showed her this and she just thought it was hilarious and has been working on it since)

 -Shares her food with Mommy and thinks it's funny

-loves to creep, pull herself up into a sitting position and if she tries really hard pulls herself up into a standing position

-her favorite place to crawl is over to the fireplace to play with the shiny door, why do kids always gravitate toward the dangerous stuff?

-crawls for a foot or two but isn't zooming around the house yet (which reminds me, I still need to baby proof...)
-She started dancing! We were in a shopping cart at the grocery store and she was bopping up and down to the music while we were shopping, it is hysterical!

-is back to taking her medicine very well but now sometimes doesn't like having her diaper changed and will try her hardest to wiggle out of it

-always falls asleep in her stroller when we go for trail jogs but never falls asleep when we go for walks to the grocery store or frozen yogurt shop

Happy 8 months peanut, we love you so much!
