8 Months

Riella celebrated her 8 month mark amongst all the fun of Independence Day!  

She is growing and changing all the time.  She is probably about 19 pounds if I had to guess and is wearing size 4 diapers now and 12 month clothes with some 18 month ones thrown in.  Her feet are still tiny though and she is only in a size 2.

She is nursing 4 times a day and eating table food and/or baby food 1-2 times a day.  She prefers to feed herself and had loved everything we've given her so far which is great.

She is still on the same sleep schedule.  She does so great about rolling over and soothing herself right to sleep.  She is talking more and more now.  She says Mama, Bubba, and now Dada.  She has no real interest in crawling at all.  In fact, if you put her on all fours, she cries and gets mad.  She is moving from sitting to the crawling position though and can scoot herself backwards.

She continues to be an extremely happy, smiley baby.  She is truly a joy and a light in our lives and we all love her dearly!
