8 Months

Ansley Dawn, you are 8 months old today!

So pretty girl, what have you been up to?

When I took you to the doc on Saturday, you weighed 19.25 lbs (although that was with you dressed & shoes on, so that’s not truly accurate!)

You are still wearing size 3 diapers.

You can still fit in some of your 6-9 month clothing, but majority of your clothes are 9 months and dresses are 12 months (like the one in these pics!)

You have 2 teeth!! And they are sharp!

You still eat 2 “meals” a day, along with snacks now.

You are sleeping much better! You usually go down around 8-8:30, wake up once during the night (knock on wood) and get up in the mornings anywhere from 7 to 8:30.  Mornings depend on what time your brother wakes up.  The first thing he does is run to your room yelling “hey Ansley” or “RRROOOAAARRRR!”  Crazy boy.

You sleep on your stomach.  You have no interest in your back anymore.  As soon as we lay you down anywhere you immediately roll over to your belly.

You still love your jumper.  Sometimes I don’t see how you don’t jump right out of it you can bounce so high!

You make THE funniest faces.  I think sometimes you do them just to make us laugh!

You are SO close to crawling! You get up on all fours and rock as fast as you can.  You can scoot and wiggle to get where you want to go though and I think it’s a matter of days before  you take off!

Have I mentioned that you’re growing up too fast?

It really feels like yesterday when we were blessed by you being born and now we are only 4 months away from your 1st birthday!

I think you are just the most precious thing ever in the world (besides your brother!) and I don’t know what we did without you!

And as shocking as it is, your brother is by far your favorite person still!  You LOVE him.  He’s really into taking pictures with you now, but when you tell him to smile, he does this…

Baby girl, we love you so much!  You are at such a fun age, you learn new things every day and have such a wonderful personality.  You truly completed our family and we are so blessed by you and your brother!

Happy 8 month birthday baby girl!  We Love You!
