Lexi 8 Months

Lexi is 8 months old today.  It doesn't seem possible.


Update:

  • Lexi seems to be tiny when I compare her to others.  Although a lot of those comparisons are to older babies :)  She seems to be doing just fine and growing.
  • She wears 6-9 month clothes and just went up to size 3 diapers
  • Sleep has been going great lately.  I hate to talk about it for fear of messing it up.  She takes 2-3 naps a day still.  The morning and afternoon for sure.  Sometimes a cat nap in the evening.  They vary in length depending on our schedule that day.
  • She is a pretty content baby most of the time.  Completely content if you are willing to stand and hold her when she cries.  She has gotten better at playing on the floor for periods of time.  She is usually fine unless she spots mom and then thinks she needs to be held.
  • Lexi has started scooting a little bit.  It is done usually more out of frustration then actual effort.  I was looking back at the other kiddos who were all crawling in some way at 8 months.  I think she just doesn't see a need to move.  Someone will bring her what she wants if she makes enough noise.
  • She has found her voice more this month.  She has happy little yells and growls frequently.
  • When Lexi gets excited, her arms start going crazy.  It is funny to watch.
  • She loves to share her smiles everyone morning with her siblings.  She loves to watch them and when they interact with her.
  • I think I am going to have another little daddy's girl.  She searches for him and just gives the biggest smiles to him.  If he is working on something she will just stare at him until he gives her attention.
  • She eats usually two meals a day of food.  Sometimes it is baby food, but we have started more table food as well. She grabs at anything within reach.
  • Drools constantly, still just the 2 teeth.
  • We are enjoying the cuddles while we can still get them from her.  I know she is going to get busier and busier in the next few months.
