Happy 8 Months!

This post is late because I had to go through a bunch of videos.

It's getting harder to take these monthly pictures because she gets distracted and keeps trying to grab the "months" sign. I might have to come up with something else.

Can you believe Eggy is 8 months already? This past month has probably been my favorite so far. She's so much fun and she's doing all kinds of things.

Okay, so she's not crawling yet but she's getting close. She rocks back and forth on her hands and knees. Sometimes, she ends up scooting backwards. After a while, she gets mad that she's not going anywhere. haha It's hard to get that potbelly off the ground, huh Eggy?

But she can...

give you five

do jamjam (open and close her hand)

do doridori (shake her head)

clap her hands kinda

drink from a straw if I hold it for her

And when you say "good girl!" she gets all proud. Of course, she only does these things when she feels like it.

She'll also dance when she hears music. I think she likes the Black Eyed Peas.

Eggy will make these funny faces where she wrinkles her nose and her eyes get all chinky. And when you laugh, she does it again and again and laughs with you. Her laugh is funny too because it's like she lets out her laugh one at a time. Yeah, she's stingy with her laughs.

She likes paper. Or more specifically, Eggy likes to rip paper. Sometimes, she tries to rip the paper over her head which is funny to see because her arms are too short and/or her head is too big so her cheeks get all squished.

Forget toys for Christmas, I'll just give her the wrapping paper.

In addition to her two bottom teeth, she has another one coming in at the top. I think it's her left lateral incisor which is weird because I think the central incisors are supposed to come in first.

Eggy went from three naps to two naps a day. It went pretty smoothly. She still wakes up a couple times at night though. Her best nights are sleeping 7-8 hours straight before she wakes up to feed. Too bad those 8 hours are from 8pm-3/4am. Oh well, I'll take it. It beats those newborn nights when she'd wake up every 2-3 hours for sure.

We added peas and yogurt to her diet. Not her favorites but she'll eat it. Most of it.

Even with all this fun, she can still be a little punk ass. If I take something away from her, she gets mad and yells/cries. She's going to be a bully on the playground, I just know it.

Or she'll be playing fine with someone, like my mom, but as soon as she sees me, she starts whining for me.

I don't know whether to be flattered or annoyed. One day, I'll be the one whining for her to hang out with me so I should just shut up and enjoy it while it lasts.
