CRC you are 8 months old, have two teeth and are closer to being a 1 year-old than a newborn, tear, but Sweet Caroline you are too happy of a baby to cry and too busy to dwell on anything to long.
Caroline, our sweet baby girl, you are a daily dose of joy, you learn, amaze us and grow each day.
Age: 8 months
Stats at 7 months: 17 lbs (65 percentile) and 25 inches (25 percentile) so you are probably about 18 lbs now.
Clothes: Still squeezing into some 6 months onsies and pants, mostly 9 month pajamas and a broad range of dresses and bubbles.
Hair: Auburn, we get asked where the red hair come from often, which I hope stays red.
Eyes: Brown
Favorite Foods: Oatmeal, Avocado, Sweet Potatoes, Banana, Re-fried beans, Mandarin Oranges and a lot of Plums, Happy Baby and HEB Organic pouches fruit and veggie mixtures.
Favorite Noises: Dadadadada, a little Mum, mum, mum and babbles, clicking your tongue and blowing raspberries.
Favorite Activities: Toe touches in your car seat, bath time, sitting and playing with you toys, banging your paci against the slats on your crib. Your love any textiles that you can scratch especially if they crinkle. You are making a little progress on your crawling but can steam roll your way across any room to get what you want. You love outside and to stroll anywhere. MINIONS, you love the Minions from Despicable Me. You love to grab everything in your reach and put it in your mouth or just clear the counter. You could jump your heart out all day long.
Least Favorite Activities: Putting your arms through arm holes, especially your pj's & when things are taken away. You have just started to fuss about it, we call you fiery red head when that happens. Attitude.
Sleep: Your sleeping is a little unpredictable right now, you can sleep from 7:30pm-5am then wake up to nurse then go back to sleep til 7 or you go to sleep at 7:30pm and wake up at 12:30am then again at 3:30am then are sleeping soundly when it is time to get up. You do go to bed easily though after your bath, books, prayers and nursing.
My favorite new thing you have started is when I pick you up from daycare you give a big hug and open mouth kiss all over my face which is such a sweet thing after a long day away from you.
Other firsts: Swinging in your new backyard, you rode in your first 5k and went to your first crawfish boil.
You make us laugh all the time. Your smiles and the way you light up when Daddy enters the room never gets old and Mommy will do any dance moves, tricks or noises for a smile or laugh.
We love being your parents and are so thankful for our beautiful baby girl!
