8 months old



This sweet bundle of cuteness is 8 months old!! Holy cow!
Here are some stats:
Fits best in 9 month clothes
Size 3 diapers
Says bababa and yayayay
Can roll all over the house
If you put her in the hands and knees position she can hold it for a short time but cant get there by herself
Eats grandmas homemade baby food twice a day
I  have seen her use her little pincher fingers and pick up puffs once!!!!
Loves to eat Mum Mums and will eat one or two at a meal
Sleeps terribly!!!
She has been swaddled  and in the rock n play. Will go for an hour or two there and then comes to our bed and lasts an hour or two there and then back to the rock n play. Repeat that a few times a night. That means josh and/or I are up with her about 4-6 times a night!!! Not cool. Last weekend we implemented sleep bootcamp. Put her unswaddled in her crib and let her fuss a little here and there. Suprisingly there were no screams or real cries. We checked on her a few times and after the first few nights was a rock star and slept 11hrs straight!! Praise  Jesus. It is amazing what lack of sleep will do to you. I felt like a new person after that night. So we have totally abandoned the swaddle and rock n play. She is officially a big girl!
She can sit up for a lengthy period of time and plays with toys in front of her. Eventually she tires out and topples over. Then rolling to her tummy and tries to go after more toys. 
I have seen her trying to get her little bottom in the air and I don't think we are too far away from trying to get to hands and knees position. 
Her pt is proud of her progress and says little Kate keeps trucking along. 
We see so much progress in her and I cannot explain the encouragement that provides me. 
She is still a mommas girl and I dont complain about that much.
She Loves her big bro and sis and watches everything they do. 

We love you little momma and are so thankful we are your parents!!!
