Leah is 8 Months Old!

At 8 Months Old Leah continues to be a lot of fun.  She is "chatting" a lot now, though she hasn't said any real words.  She did make the "dada" sound a couple times.  Leah is rolling all over the floor now.  She loves to grab her feet and put her toes in her mouth too.  She is enjoying her exersaucer and being stood up on her feet.  She will bounce up and down when she is propped up on her feet. 

Leah is doing great with eating now.  She often takes 2 stage 2 foods per meal.  She is eating 3 meals a day (usually about 30 mins after she nurses for the first 2 meals).  She nurses 4 times a day so she will usually nurse at 6:30, 11, 3:30 and 7:30 (approximately).  She eats her dinner around when we do or right before and then nurses right before bed.  

Leah normally takes 2 naps a day.  One about 1 hr 30 mins-2 hrs after waking up (usually around 8:30ish-11ish) and then again a couple hours later (around 1:30ish to 3:30ish), give or take.  She doesn't fall asleep in the car or in her carseat much unless we are on a long drive.  She will fall asleep still in the ergo baby carrier, if I am walking around with that when we are out.  Otherwise, she really just likes sleeping in her room with the sound machine on.

She is still a pretty easy going baby.  She will cry when she is tired or hungry and occasionally with a dirty diaper, but other than that she just talks and plays.  She loves laughing at her brothers (she thinks they are hilarious).  She also loves her Mommy and her Daddy (much to the delight of her Daddy).

Despite this picture, she really doesn't cry that much.

Leah is still pretty small.  We haven't been to the doctor but she is wearing 6 month clothes and has tiny feet.  Many of the 0-6 Month shoes are still big on her.

We just love her to pieces!
