Little one you are 8 months old!!! The time is flying by. It
seems like every moment during the day your doing something that makes me smile
or laugh. Your two front teeth are so cute when you smile. You are always a
smiling, happy baby!
Weight: 20 pounds (the same as last month or maybe a little
more)
Height: 28 inches (the same as last
month or maybe a little more)
EKG: We had a follow up appointment from your EKG and Echo
appointment you had when you were 1 month old. They said that you still have an
innocent mumor but everything sounded good. They also said we don’t need to
worry about your hands and feet sometimes turning a purple/blue color. They
said it is common for babies to have that, as long as your face and stomach
never turns blue we should not be concerned.
Festival of Lights: A. Carrie and U. Mike had free tickets
so we went to the festival of lights with them J
We were there around when you usually go to bed so you had your “serious” face
for most of the time but you did great being pushed in your stroller. You
smiled more right before we were getting ready to leave J
Tis the Season: We have been to lots of parties, shopped a
lot, and seen family/friends we do not usually see that often. It is always a
busy time but I really enjoy spending time with everyone. You are so great when
we go places! You barely fuss and are usually all smiles J
Feliz Navidad: Little one you celebrated your first
Christmas! We went to Mamaw and Papaw Crofford’s for Christmas Eve and Mamaw
and Papaw Jackson’s for Christmas breakfast and dinner. You had fun opening
presents with your cousins and even tore the paper a little bit on the
presents. We also got to open presents on Christmas morning. We may not always
get to open presents on Christmas day due to daddy having to work but I’m glad
we were able to do it for your first Christmas J
Cousin Love: We were able to take some pictures for Christmas with your cousins. One of the photos was Pinterest inspired. We thought we might have some melt downs trying to get a picture with three kids but it turned out great :)
Happy New Year: Little girl we are no longer in your birth
year, say hello to 2014! 2013 brought us one of the best blessings when we had
you! We cannot wait to see what 2014 holds for our family and how much you will
grow and change this next year.
Baby it’s Cold Outside: It has been really cold a few days
this month. With the wind chill a few days after New Year’s felt like -30! I
don’t ever remember it being this cold. When it is really cold outside we try
not to take you out and I also dread being outside when it’s that cold. We have
also had lots of snow days. We have not gotten more than 3 inches at a time but
anything over 1” makes people crazy drivers, so we try to avoid going anywhere
when it snows.
New Beginning: Daddy started his full time fire job! As
Daddy put it he “officially started” his life now that he has a full time fire
job. Don’t take offense little one, what daddy really means to say is that he
is officially starting his career he just does not word it that way. You are a
very important part of his life he just meant that he finally got a full time
job.
Spitting: Daddy has taught you something that seems to be
your new habit. You make a spitting noise with your lips and usually get
mommy’s face a little wet when you’re doing it. You think it is so funny and
love doing it at random times.
Soon-to-be-mover: You love it when we walk around with you
holding your hands. You’re not ready to walk on your own but you will get there
soon enough. You are also getting yourself up on all fours but you have not
moved yet. You usually rock in place but have never decided to move when you’re
on all fours.
Eating: You’re still taking 6 oz every 2-3 hours during the
day. We have also tried some new fruits and vegetables but everything is pureed
or smashed so you can eat it. You have not tried anything that you don’t like.
You don’t love your puffs but will usually eat a couple when we give them to
you.
Other moments:
* Mommy and Daddy both went into your room after you just
woke up. Daddy was bouncy in tennis ball in your room and you lowered your
eyebrows and gave him a very serious face. You obviously were annoyed by the
bouncing of the tennis ball. It was so funny to see you do it. I’m sure when
you get older we will see a lot of these looks but right now it is so funny to
see you making different facial expressions.
*Game Night: Went to Tiffany and Jared Leazer’s for game
night. You had fun meeting Brody (who is 1 month older than you). You played
with different toys but eventually we put you to bed since you were so tired.
*Friendsgiving: “Friendsgiving-The One in December” was such
a great time. All of our friends that we don’t get to see that often were in
town. You did such a great with new people holding you and were smiley all
night.
