eight months

Maeve at 8 Months:

-At the beginning of 8 months she transitioned out of her Magic Merlin Sleep Suit to a sleep sack and went through a sleep regression because she would wake up every time she would roll over.  

-Loves her pink bear tiny blanekt/lovey and tickles the ears to fall asleep.

-Maeve learned how to wave! She open and closes her hand facing her.

-She is obsessed with dogs.

-Loves blueberries and strawberries right now & plain Greek yogurt.

-Tried salmon for the first time and HATED it!

-She is rolling all over the place and has been better at trying to crawl.

-Loves seeing and staring at kids in the neighborhood and has been seeing them more now that its getting a little warmer.

-Loves the mobile I made her.  She loves to touch it after she wakes up from a nap and smiles so big.

-After nursing in the morning she turns toward her bookshelf with the biggest smile and does her "gimme" hand motion to the books.

-She knows when the heater turns on and always turns to look at the garlands I have hanging above the kitchen table.  

-She has her first tooth peeking through and it's so sharp!

-She got her first cold and had the hardest time sleeping with her runny nose.

-At 8.5 months she takes 2 naps a day (10am and 3:30pm) and goes to bed around 7:30pm and usually sleeps through the night. 

-She has been crossing her legs and it's so cute. Mostly when she's eating or relaxing.

-She can play peek-a-boo by herself with a blanket.

-She loves going to the rec center pool to swim, go on the slide, and watch all the older kids run around.

-Her second tooth started coming in at the end of 8 months.

-Now that she's teething, she has been waking up 1x at night and loves to be cuddled and grabs and plays with my necklace until she falls asleep. 

-Smiles anytime Splish Splash by Elmo is turned on (we mostly listen in the car when she is upset but it works wonders, also likes The Happy Song by Imogen Heap).

-Her smile changes constantly and right now its sort of an old man smile because she's getting used to her teeth. 

-She made it to the top of Angels Landing on a weekend trip with mom and dad! (She's been to Zion 2x now!)
