8 Months

Sarah,

I thought I told you to stop getting bigger?  Please, just stay this little a bit longer?

Love,
Mommy

SO MUCH LOVE!!!

Sarah is in that wiggly and hard to hold phase. She wants to be entertained and she wants to move, but she's not crawling yet. I know it's coming : )   

She's sitting up like a champ.  She likes to play with her toys and grab them from her basket.  Be careful around her little hands if you are wearing a necklace or earrings, holding a drink, wearing your hair down, growing a beard, or basically have anything within her reach.  She will grab, pull, and put in her mouth! 

This past month was a reminder to me that babies and sleep can be pretty unpredictable. She only slept through the night a handful of times. Of course, we tried to figure out why ... teething? growth spurt? needs another nighttime feeding? who knows!?!!? But she's been giving me a little more rest this week, thankfully : ) 

Favorite Food :   Anything but squash (she cries when we feed it to her).  Prefers fruit, of course!

Naps:  2 big naps a day. 

Fussiest moments:  When Mommy is not holding her.

Favorite Toy:  Exersaucer (but only for 10 minutes)
