8 Months

This past month:

  • Anna has started sleeping better. Naps are going well, and the girls usually nap at the same time in the afternoon (Yay!). She has slept through the night a few times recently but often still wakes once, but it's a quick wake up to eat and then right back to sleep. 
  • She has a tooth! It popped through just yesterday, actually. It's still not all the way up but it's definitely there!
  • Eating solid food is still slow going. She still wants nothing to do with purées but she likes feeding herself small pieces of food. The amount she is actually eating is still very small, but we're making progress.
  • Anna has started crawling! She first started moving around on her hands and knees on Canada Day, and we can officially call her a crawler now. She gets faster by the day!
  • Now that she's more mobile, she's more interested in getting to whatever Grace is playing with. You'll often here Grace say "no, no, no Anna!" If Anna gets too close to something Grace doesn't want her to have, Grace will run to me and say "She's trying to get _____. Can you pick her up?!"
  • She is 100% a blankie girl, just like her big sister.
  • She had her first dip in the lake! We've been spending a lot of time at the lake and she likes splashing around and loves watching her big sister in the water. 
A few things I don't want to forget:
  • Her sweet, gummy smile! Now that teeth are making an appearance we won't see it much longer. 
  • The way she likes to "sing" with Daddy. When Brian sings and dances her around, she does this sing-songy coo, it's so cute. 
  • How excited she gets whenever Grace does something funny. She shakes her arms and does a funny little inhale laugh. 

And just for fun, Uncle Johnny got in on the photo shoot too!
