Leah 8 Months

Leah is getting so old!  8 months old already!

She is crawling all over the place, pulling herself up, and getting into everything!  I have caught her standing a few times not holding on to anything.  She certainly is a mobile baby, and she loves it!  Brie on the other hand does not love that Leah is everywhere, she is having a hard time with Leah getting into all her stuff :)

Leah still isn't the best sleeper, but I think she is getting better.  She takes 2-3 naps a day; just depends on when she wakes up in the morning and how long her naps are.  She is getting better at putting herself to sleep, slowly but surely.  She needs her pacifier (plug/pluggy) to go to sleep; and thank goodness she is getting better at putting it in herself.  Sometimes during the night she needs her plug put back in.  Leah usually goes to bed around 8pm, her wake up time is very sporadic.

She loves to eat!  She still nurses 4-5 times a day, which she gets very excited about.  And she eats 2-3 meals a day.  I would list her favorite foods.....but she eats anything!  Which is very refreshing for me since Brie is very picky.  Leah has been doing great with pieces of food, we give her some of whatever we are eating.

Leah is such a happy little girl!  She is very content.  She loves to play with toys, try and get whatever Brie is playing with, get into things she isn't allowed to have, and being held!  She is starting to be very vocal.  She says 'bababababa' all the time, and has started saying 'dadadada'.  It is so cute!  She makes all sorts of funny other noises too; we call her noises 'dinosaur noises'.  We call her dino all the time :)  Leah growls all the time, it is hilarious!  I love seeing her little personality start to show.
