Monroe turns 8 months old!

Happy 8 Months to Monroe Rae!






 Her 8 month milestones -


Weight - 19 lbs, 8 oz.

Sleeping patterns - She sleeps 20-30 min. in the morning and 1-2 hours in the afternoon. She goes to bed between 10 - 11 p.m. and gets up 1-2 times a night.

Eating habits - She eats rice or oatmeal cereal in the morning and step 1 Gerber baby food for lunch and supper. She eats 2 vege's a meal but doesn't care much for fruits yet. She had bananas, peaches, and applies so far but only 2-3 bites at a meal. We will increase her to Step 2 this month. She is still nursing really well. She drinks appr. 12-16 oz. at daycare during the day and nurses 3-4 times in the evenings and during the night.

New Discoveries - She knows her momma! She isn't too excited about being held by anyone else right now, especially people she doesn't know well. She will tolerate it for about 10 seconds and then that's it!

Her Accomplishments - She is starting to stand next to furniture a little bit. She advanced to size 3 Pampers diapers now. We brought up her high chair and will probably sell her Bumbo seat as her legs don't fit in it very good anymore. She really likes to sit in her exersaucer in the kitchen and watch what we are doing. She has 3 teeth so far (2 are through and one just appeared).

We decided to try a pony and a barrett in her hair today!  She isn't thrilled about the barrett but left the pony alone!  She is our little unicorn!
