Rose||8 Months Old

Rose's seven month update can be found here
Trent's eight month update can be found here

Breastfeeding: Rose is still breastfeeding around 6 times a day. If you have been following along during Rose's updates you will know that she never took a bottle or a pacifier. This was at first stressful, but the older she gets it makes me cherish this time even more. There will be a day in the near future that I will miss nursing Rose. I'm lucky she has always been so attached to it.


Sleep: Bedtime is around 630/7pm Rose wakes up once usually. Waking up for the day around 6am then her first nap is around 8am. Rose will nap again around 11am and once more around 3pm for a total of three naps a day. Since Rose is baby number #4 it is hard to be home for real naps in her crib, but I try! 


Solids: Rose still only eats half a pouch to one pouch a day of baby food. No teeth yet, so we are sticking with purees and yogurt. If we are out to dinner Rose usually has a million spoons (they end up on the floor.) 
Roses first time eating ice cream she latched on and dug her nails in haha


Personality:Rose's first word this month was "Dada," but it doesn't make her any less of a mamas girl. If someone else is holding her she leans for me or cries. Rose loves to shrieks at the top of her lungs and swat anything near her face. It hurts, everyone in the house has been a victim of Roses attacks! She is quickly forgiven when she giggles right after. 








New this month: 

Full on crawling everywhere, sitting up, and most recent Rose has been pulling herself up to stand! 


Weight: 17lbs 2oz
Height: Not sure
Clothing Size:9-12 Month
Eye Color: dark brown
Hair: Brown and straight
Teeth: 0
Dislikes: Being held by other people, being moved away from doing something naughty, using a tissue on her nose, getting her dressed, and diaper changes she always tries to roll away. 
Likes: Nursing, showers/baths with Mommy, her brothers attention, pulling her bows over her eyes, putting everything in her mouth especially her fingers, grabbing and pulling our dog Lacie's fur and my hair, being held.
