8 MONTHS OLD!

Madelynne is 8 months old and I can't believe how much she's done in just this last month!  I was able to pull some pictures of the boys and compare.  The picture caption said Chase was 29.3 lb and Mason 27.6 lb at 8 months.  When we left Texas, Madelynne was 25.5 lb, I don't think she's gained much, maybe 26 lb now.






About Madelynne at 8 months: 
- Not quite crawling, is trying very hard.  Gets quite frustrated on her tummy when she can't move.  She tries to pull herself up, almost there.
- Does not like food with sugar in it.  I buy the plain organic foods and she loves those.  Rice cakes are a hit too, and now cheerios.  She really doesn't eat much for solids.  The boys at this age ate alot, Madelynne still prefers above all her bottle.
- No teeth yet, teething seems to have subsided for now.
- Not sleeping through the night yet.  Still eats twice at night!
- Takes 2- 2 hour naps a day or 2- 1 hour naps plus 1- 2 hour nap.
- We are so not in a schedule... could have something to do with so much constant change the last while!
- She is quick to smile, charms everyone!  Likes to gurgle.
- She can stare anyone down!
- Nobody can make her laugh like her brothers.  She loves them!
- She is a mommy's girl :)
- Her eyes follow daddy around, she adores him!
- She loves to be outside, going for walks in the stroller or in her Urgo carrier, and loves the swings.
- She likes to try to balance things on her nose!
- She really is a content baby, when she cries, it's for a reason.

Great comparison pictures of the 8-month olds! I love the one of Madelynne stretching her arms wide as if to say, I've got the WHOLE stage here!
