Oh baby girl you are 8 months old and growing bigger everyday. You all of a sudden seem so mature, it's crazy. You weigh 18lbs and 11oz. You are wearing size 9-12 month clothes, however you have 2 pairs of sweat pants that are size 3 months, that still fit. In fact, you wore them to bed tonight! ha! You are wearing size 3 slip on Huggies and size 3/4 shoe.
You love love love to eat. Recently you started eating off of my plate ( chicken, dumpling, carrots, stuffing and pizza dough). You eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and your favorite snack is cheese puffs from Gerber.
You love to play with your toys and especially love the toys that make music. You will sit and rock back and forth and clap your hands. You also love to read your books. Your Baby's Bible is your favorite! I actually have it memorized I read it so much. Ha! You take 2/3 naps each day and go to bed around 9-10pm. You generally sleep through the night until 6-7 and then usually nurse and fall back asleep to 8-9am. You love love love other kids and get so excited when you see them. You love to play and talk. You also love Tess. She is getting better and will actually let you touch her sometimes...but just sometimes.
On a sadder note, you have been pulling off your bows..ah! I knew this day would come. It doesn't happen all the time, but lately it has been a bit of a struggle. You love to imitate mommy and daddy. You make silly faces ( crinkle nose face with stuffy noise) I know that makes no sense to anyone else reading this, but it does to me...ha! You just got your 2 bottom middle teeth. I am so in love with you and love hanging out with you. You are my favorite little girl, whom I honestly can't get enough of. Happy 8 months baby girl!
So every month we buy a cake for Ashtyn to celebrate her birthday. This is just for the first year to document each month. I know some of you think I am crazy, including Jeremy, but I like it! It's funny though because I had these ideals of how Ashtyn would sit next to her cake and we could document how she is growing and changing, and they would always look the same and blah! HA! These pictures are a prime example of how that IS NOT THE CASE......Since I am so behind in posting, we actuality just took her 9 month cake pictures and it went pretty much the same way. Oh well! It makes me laugh.....
We started off okay... Family picture time.
But Ashtyn did not want her picture taken with the cake......
So she cried.....
and cried...
and CRIED!
