8 month update!

I didnt think my 8 month birthday would be spent going to doctors and wearing Oxygen - good thing I am so laid back and willing to wear the oxygen for mommy and daddy.



Weight: 18 pounds 8.5oz

Skills:
Physically: I can crawl all over the house now. I can pull myself from crawling to resting on my knees with my hands on something like a table or lap. I have twice so far gone from the resting on my knees to pulling myself up to a standing position. I am getting better at feeding myself - I can gnaw on a teething biscuit for a long time and can get alot more cheerios actually in my mouth now.
Verbally: No words yet. I am great at grunts and spitting - does that count?

Likes: I like watching TV (shush..dont tell anyone). I like when my stuffed animals give me kisses. I still love reading books and going for walks - not much has changed there in 8 months. I like crawling to the doggies water and food bowl and splashing the water or trying to eat their food. Bosley is not a fan of this.

Dislikes: Albuterol breathing treatments & coughing

New Foods since my last update: Grains - Pasta, Fruits - Mango, Peaches, Plums, Blueberries. Vegetables - Carrots, Peas, Zucchini . Protein - Turkey, Chicken & Tofu. My next new foods are yogurt, eggplant and melons - can't wait!

Highlights of the month and what is to come:
This month had the excitement of Christmas and New Years which was great. Ended badly with me being sick since January 2nd and now having to get breathing medicines and Oxygen. Next month I dont have anything planned yet - just lots of growing and loving is in store.
