Eight Months

Miss Haley Lou,

Eight months you certainly are! Happy new month of life, baby girl! This month  has had lots of milestones. You are so happy and bubbly, most of the time. You still love to watch Kinley and you beam from ear to ear whenever you see Dad. You love to be bounced and you love to dance with us. You are getting more vocal which is fun. You have discovered what Dad and I call your "angry scream" and that is exactly what it is. You are one that definitely wears her emotions on her sleeve. When you are upset you have no problem letting us know, loudly! You make sure we know you are present and are ready for some extra loves and attention.


Milstones:

You can sit yourself up from your tummy
You say "ba-ba" and "ma-ma." (that last one is my absolute favorite!)
You have started eating baby puffs
You feed your bottle to yourself
You can almost scoot forward. You are so close to getting it
You can plank (which makes this fitness mamma so happy)
You still lovetummy time
You have two teeth with possibly, one more on the way.
You sleep through the night!

Also, Mom and Dad have moved you into Kinley's room and it has been great! Kinley is so excited to share a room with you and loves taking her nap with you and going to sleep with you. The first few nights took both you and Kinley some getting use to each other, but it has been pretty smooth sailing for the most part, and Mom and Dad are happy to have their room back to themselves.

Your teething toys are your favorite toys right now and you love anything Kinley plays with. We are working on sharing now because of that. You are still in 6 month clothes, but are pretty close to be moving onto 9 month size. I would say in a week or two you will be out of them. We are so excited for some upcoming events. Your first Easter, first plane ride in the summer to see Na-ma and Papa Nunes!

We love you, Hales. You keep us on our toes and your expressive faces always bring smiles and laughs. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Love, Mom
