8 months

My sweet baby turned 8 months on April 16th.  She is SOOO much fun and its amazing to watch her learn new things all the time.  Some thing about Camryn at 8 months...



- She is sitting up really well & scoots all over the place to get whatever she wants

- She is talking all the time... she says dada, mama, no no no, uh-oh, baba, and all sorts of other sounds

- She loves her mom for comfort and her dad for fun!  She gets soooo excited when Mitch walks in the door from work :)  She thinks he is the funniest guy ever and you can just tell that she adores him.

-She thinks that she needs to be held ALL the time.  Everytime I walk by, she gets excited, puts her arms out, and opens & closes her hands (to say "mommy pick me up!").  So when I don't pick her up, she has a royal meltdown.  Its lovely to listen to all day :)

-She thinks that whatever you're eating, it's really hers.  She LOVES real food and signs for "more" the whole time she watches you eat.  She is eating all her baby food really well now, and she does decent with her bottles.  It's taken 8 months, but she's finally eating!

-She still is horrible about taking naps.  Some days she'll take 2 naps and one will be 2 hours long.  Then the next day, she'll only take one 30 minute nap.  But she is getting better about sleeping through the night again.  She's been going to sleep on her own at night and usually she sleeps 8-11 hours.  Some nights she still crys several times and I have to go give her the binkie.

- She learned to put her own binkie in!  That has been awesome (she can plug herself when she is sad) but horrible at the same time.  We joke that she is like a crack addict..... if she sees her binkie, she HAS TO HAVE IT!  I have to hide it from her, because she would have it in her mouth all day every day if she could.

- She is getting worse with her temper.  She is generally a REALLY good baby and has a good mood, but sometimes her temper gets out of control.  She already throws some serious tantrums. 

- She tries to mimic you with actions and with sounds.  She has learned to clap, do patty-cakes, wave bye bye, fake cough, and other things that I can't think of at the moment :)

- She is seriously OBSESSED with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  We watch it every morning when she wakes up and sometimes throughout the day to entertain her while I'm trying to feed her or get something done.  She really just loves the songs.  No matter what she's doing, if she hears the "hotdog" song come on, she drops everything to give her full attention.




It's amazing how quickly the time has flown by!  Here are some pictures of Camryn from 6 to 8 months.

Being silly :)

The little Diva at her cousins' baseball game


Camryn loves to go to lunch with daddy..... maybe just because she loves alfredo sauce


She usually wakes up super happy :)

Watching the Braves with daddy :)


She loved all the fish in the huge aquarium at the Silverton


She celebrated turning 8 months by having some chocolate pudding with Daddy


So Camryn went through a phase of yelling like this all the time.  It drove us NUTS, but thankfully she stopped doing it after a week or so :)
