Milestones:she is starting to be mobile, everyone asks if she crawls our awnser is she gets places. She uses a combination of rolling, army crawling, scouting and most recently bear crawling. Part of her issue is she wants to carry her football and move and her arms get all tangled when she tries to carry the ball and crawl. She will get on all fours and rock back and forth. She can get from laying down to her belly and to a sitting up position all by herself. She babbles with more consonants. She said Mamma last saturday during the football game and shortly after started saying dada. She might also say Yay it's hard to tell. She studies her toys and is interested in all the details. Still no teeth. We also celebrated our first Halloween.

Eating: She is definitely spacing out her feeds. Sometimes in the morning we can go 5 hours especially if she gets her brest milk cream of wheat for breakfast. She takes at least 2 4oz feeds when I work. Breast milk is still her main source of nutrition. She still really enjoys eating and will pretty much eat anything we eat. So far only thing we think she hasn't liked is sausage. Still nursing but occasionally you have to fight her to latch because she doesnt want to be still. She enjoys some of the baby squeezables and baby mum mums. She feeds herself really well with both her hands and a spoon. She can also use a sippy cup pretty well.

Sleeping: This is a rough topic considering how well we were doing. She has been sleeping in our bed for the last couple nights. Ive never been a fan of co sleeping but after the rough couple off weeks we had I cant fight her. She sleeps better next to mommy and daddy. I tried putting her in her crib awake and it was a disaster. We just have to do what works right now. 

Happy 8 months sweet baby
