Ellie: Eight Months

Ellie has become a very active baby. She has learned to crawl and stand up in the past month. She doesn't want to be held still and rather be one the floor. Even crawling isn't enough, she has to find the closest piece of furniture and use it to stand up. She babbles a lot now and will have conversations with us. Her favorite word is da-da. Some new experiences she has had is going to a cottage for a week with my parents ,and visiting Niagra Falls.

Ellie: 8 Months
Length
Weight: 16lb

Eat:

Ellie still has a bottle every 4 hours. But we has started introducing more foods. With cereal in the mornings, and puree at lunch and dinner. I make the food she eats at dinner but has store bought food at lunch. I've been trying to get her to eat real food. But she will spit out anything with chunks.

Sleep:

It's getting harder to get her to nap quietly now that she can stand up in her crib. She will immediately stand and cry the moment you lie her down. All I can do is let her cry for a few minutes then when she calms down go back in and lie her down again. She does pretty good at night and will sleep right through or only wake up a few times.

Play:
She will play with toys a little bit, but precedes to just grab anything she can from the tables. When in her playpen she will play with the toys but only if your not around, otherwise she just wants to stand up and watch us.
