8 months

Age: 8 monthsHeight: 24.75” at 6 monthsWeight: Almost 17 poundsHead: 40.5cm at 6 monthsMilestones: Avy is crawling everywhere. She can pull up to standing on about everything. She can hold onto something with one hand while standing. She is beginning to take steps when trying to get a toy or object she wants. She passes toys from one hand to the other. She loves to stand up in her crib in the morning and wake mommy and daddy up by pounding on the crib with her hand or jabbering. Sleep: Avy is sleeping through the night. She goes to bed around 8pm every night. She will then wake up anywhere from 5:30-6:30am for a bottle. She usually doesn’t go back to sleep when she wakes up at 6:30. She will stay awake for a couple of hours and then take a 1 ½ hour to 2 hour nap. She will take another nap in the afternoon, but it fluctuates and is usually only 1 hour. Best Moment: Avy is so funny at times. She will give us smiles and squeal. She likes pat-a-cake and playing peek-a-boo. She shakes her head back and forth at a lot of things, but we are not sure what it means. She usually just does it and smiles.Worst Moment: Avy’s GERD or acid reflux is much better. I am giving her the medication once a day now instead of twice. She is spitting up a lot less so planning to discontinue the medication once we run out!Health: So far, no issues.Eating: Avy still loves her veggies!! She eats an entire jar or sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, green beans, or peas depending on what we are feeding her that day. She is still not too sure about fruit, but is beginning to eat small amounts of it. She loves puffs! She enjoys picking them up off her tray and putting them in her mouth. We continue to give her rice cereal in her bottles and she chew on rice cakes and crackers.Teeth: Yep, she has her two bottom teeth.Extra comments: Avy is becoming so fun watching her learn new things and explore her curiosity. She loves playing and exploring things other then her toys!
