Eight Months Old and Mother's Day!

Well is today not only my first Mother's Day, but it is also Ella's 8 month birthday! So Ella Kate, what have you been up to?

You are still in a size 3 diaper and wearing both 9 month and 12 month clothes - we had to move you into 12 month PJs this week cause your 9 month ones were just too tight!

I am guessing you are measuring around 28 inches or so and weighing around 21-22 lbs.

You are taking 4 8 oz bottles a day and 2 solid meals.

You have tried the following foods:

Fruit- Bananas, Mangoes, Apples, Pears, Peaches, Avacado (which you love!)

Veggies - Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Squash, Spinach, and Green Beans

You are a horrible napper but still a wonderful sleeper at night so we can't complain!

You started crawling last week and are officially into EVERYTHING! But it is so fun that you are able to move around on your own and you love to follow us around - especially the cat!

Taking your picture this month was a lot harder than other months...
You either wanted to eat the paper or...

Get right up into the camera!

You love bath time! You would sit in the bath forever if we would let you.

You love being outdoors and either in your stroller or wagon! You could also just sit out on a blanket for hours and not get mad. We are going to get you a baby pool next weekend which we know you will love!

It is just amazing how much you have changed in only a few short months!

We love you more and more everyday and I am so thankful to get to celebrate my first Mother's Day being your mom!
