Becca at 8 months

Sweet Becca Jean,
We're 2/3 of the way through your first year! I feel so much excitement at the thought of you growing, and seeing who you will become.

Some things of note from this past month are:
  • You can now roll everywhere! You roll clear across the room to get where you want to go.
  • We moved you into Lily's old car seat because you had outgrown your infant seat. Now you actually look little in your "new" seat.
  • For some reason, you hate the sound of Velcro...you sob whenever you hear it being pulled apart.
  • You can get from sitting to your belly...
  • Since we moved you to your crib, your sleeping got worse and worse. You were waking up 3-5 times a night and no one was getting any sleep. So, we decided to have you cry it out. You were pretty mad at us and cried for 45+ minutes the first night. But, ever since, you've been sleeping through the night. Nap time is still a completely different ball game. 
  • You adore Lily. No one can get you to laugh like she can; especially when she jumps up and down.
  • We realized that your thighs are so chubby, that when you're sitting, if you straighten your legs, nothing but your thighs touch the ground.
  • You started lifting your arms up when you want to be picked up. It's such a fun sign of understanding.
  • You are still a huge cuddle-bug. You love to be held and rarely want to be put down. Sometimes, if I'm within reach, you will play on the floor for a while, but usually you just want to cuddle.
There's nothing quite like hearing you laugh or seeing your smile. Sweet girl, this next month will only hold more adventures for you, and we're so lucky to be along for the ride!
