Kaleigh turned 8 months old today. It’s amazing to see how quickly she’s picking up new things. She’s VERY mobile. She loves to pull up on her play table, the coffee table or Alec’s train table and walk around them. She also thinks it’s hilarious to pull up in the bath tub and drives us crazy at bath time. Everytime you sit her down, she pulls right back up and giggles. We do it over and over and over again! Needless to say, we normally end up with a few head bonks and water up our nose before bath time is over! She’s a slippery little bogger when she’s trying to jump around in the bathtub! She’s also almost into full fledged crawling. She can crawl a couple feet but usually gets aggravated about it after that. Sometimes she even does the butt up in the air, straight leg monkey crawl. That’s pretty funny to watch!
"Oh my gosh, MOM, look what brother's doing!"
Check out my two little teeth in this picture!
She’s VERY vocal and loves to say “Da Da Da”. That’s her only word for now, but I’m pulling for “Ma Ma Ma” really soon!! Ha!!
We had to relocate the lamp from beside your bed, as you thought it was fun to pull out the feathers once you realized you could stand up and get to it!
She’s quickly loosing interest in bottles and baby food. She prefers to eat whatever we are eating and maybe a few spoonfuls of baby food at each meal. Her bottles are hit and miss lately, sometimes she’ll drink 3 or 4 oz but she does still like her bedtime bottle. She’s growing up way to fast!! She really likes to eat pasta, bananas and veggies! Alec thinks it’s really fun that she eats tiny pieces of whatever we are eating. She’s a little Miss. Piggy and eats almost as much as Alec does at meal time.
Kaleigh’s also becoming a little attached to her little pink bunny blanket. It’s so sweet to see her snuggle up next to it! (No smart comments needed here about my old faithful, "pinky", Thank-you Dana Knight Jenkins! ha!) Maybe we'll just call this little bunny pinky too!
Her ears have been giving her (and us) fits lately. She has no symptoms of an ear infection, other than the fact that she screams out randomly during the night. Sometimes, she goes back to sleep quickly by herself and other times, she needs us to come settle her back down. We are making a trip to the ENT tomorrow to discuss getting tubes, as she’s had an almost constant ear infection since Christmas.
She gave me fits trying to get her "8 month" picture this am, as she had better places to go!
She can hold her own bottle when she's really hungry now too!
Our church had baby dedication last Sunday and here is a picture of me, Alec and Kaleigh before church. Dad had drill over the weekend, so he didn’t get to come with us. Kaleigh’s dress had tiny cream color pearls all around the neck and it was so pretty!! I had bought it for her baptism but she ended up wearing my baptism dress so we were glad to put this one to good use!
Alec and Kaleigh LOVE each other and we LOVE to hear them giggle together.
Watching Cars 2 together!
