Leah 8 Months

8 months already!! So many changes this month with our growing girl. There is no keeping her in one place anymore, that's for certain. She is scooting EVERYWHERE. We are currently staying with my brother Josh while we are in between moving and buying a house, and we have had to move a lot of his things up higher so she stops getting in to everything. While on the topic of staying at Josh’s, she also hasn’t been sleeping well at night since a little before the move. She wakes up one or two times in the night screaming, and fights so hard to go back to bed. Making for one tired momma! But during the day, she is a dream baby! She is so much fun and developing such a personality!

She is officially sitting (finally!)! It took a while, but we can finally sit her down without worrying that she is going to throw herself backwards. She also is able to pull herself up on objects that she can hold on to. She shows us how big she is by holding her hands over her head - it’s so cute! She also has learned how to start clapping. She still is having about 4-5 bottles a day (an extra one over night now too..), with two veggie/fruit meals for lunch and supper. No teeth yet though! Luke and I can’t get over how big she is actually getting, and all the things she is learning - every. single. day.

I am still pumping, but will probably start slowing down soon. I at least hope to cut out the overnight pump soon so I can enjoy a full nights sleep (once Leah starts sleeping again too.) I have enough milk in the freezer right now for about a month and a half and I hope to make it to one year.

We weighed her the other day, and it was about 21 pounds, BIG GIRL! Tall girl too - she sure has the legs!! On to the next month and more milestones!

She has become quite the curious little girl! 

Visiting Grandma Thun at the Post Office one day. She got the full tour and everything. 

And then there was Leah. This was taken the morning before we left Silver Bay. 

Enjoying the nice weather. 

She also enjoys getting food from our spoons all the time now!

She's gotten up a couple times like this. Hasn't gone anywhere yet.. won't be long though. 

Checking out Grandma Mary's new house with dad!

First time swinging! She loved it!

She loves her new roomie! 

She got to come with me as I hung out with my high school girlfriends (distancing of course)! She's no longer the only baby in the group, as the girl who is taking the picture just had a baby boy!

Such a happy girl!
