Life with Sophia and Addison: 8 months

8 months

Our sweet Sophia is 8 months old! As usual, time is going by so quickly and I can't believe she is 8 months. We don't have an appt this month so I don't know her height or weight. I feel like she has gotten pretty heavy, although I think she is one of the lighter babies in her class. A lot has happened this month!

She became an army crawler around the middle of this month and has gotten really fast. She gets up on all fours like she wants to crawl on hands and knees, but doesn't really do that yet.
She can now sit up from the crawling position.
Eats 5 bottles a day and 3 solids (babyfood) meals a day. We introduced puffs on her 8 month birthday and she wasn't too sure. We are going to try to slowly start with more solids this month.
Still only has her 2 bottom teeth, but the top 2 have almost broken through...any day now!
She is very vocal. Says mamamam and bababaa and I think she tries to say Abbababa (to Abby) but she is probably just yelling :)
Wears size 3 diapers and size 9 month and some 12 month clothes.
Great night sleeper! Sleeps 11-12 hours at night and takes 2-3 naps a day as well.
I know she started this a few months ago, but I've never mentioned it...she laughs out loud at Abby, or one of us if we are doing something random and it is the cutest thing ever. I just love her laugh!
Also, she is so ticklish, just like her momma. If you tickle her too much she will get annoyed and try to push you away (just like her momma).

Also new this month, Sophia is so squirmy it has become almost impossible to change her diaper unless she is really tired! I know this will not get easier though. She also loves bathtime so much that unless she is sitting down splashing the water, she is trying to roll over to reach the water. So, I can no longer lay her on her back in the tub.

Here are a few pictures from this month!
