Eight Months Old!!

Caroline Jean- 8 Months Old

Sweet Caroline is already 8 months old!  Time is going much too fast.  She is such a fun, sweet baby and we all adore her so very much.  She is quick to smile and giggle- the boys love to gently tickle her and hear her laugh.  She has started to become a little wary of strangers, but after checking with mommy to make sure they are okay they usually get a big grin.  We get a kick out of how nosey she is- she will whip her head around or back to get a better view of what is happening.  We are so blessed to have her in our lives and love her so much!

Caroline's unofficial weight at 8 months is 18lbs which is the same as Henry's unofficial weight at 8  months.

What is Caroline up to at 8 months?

- She sleeps from 6:30pm- 7am every night.  We finally broke through all of the sporadic night wakings! 
- She naps from 9am- 11am and then again from 1pm-4pm every day.
- She eats 3 meals of baby food (2 containers or a bowl of cereal and a container of food) and nurses/takes a bottle about 5 times a day.
- She has tried all of the stage 1 baby foods.  She doesn't seem to be too fussy about her foods- apples are probably her favorite, but she'll eat anything.
- She is in size 3 diapers and size 6-12 or 9 month clothing.
- No teeth yet!
- She rolls both ways, but not very willingly- she doesn't like to be on her tummy.  She is getting stronger at sitting, but isn't quite there yet. 
- She waves and babbles "da-da-da"
- She loves her excersaucer and the jumperoo.  She also loves to go for walks with her brothers!
