Emily: You are EIGHT Months Old!

Today is Wednesday, September 26, 2012 and YOU are EIGHT Months old! Today is also Nana's Birthday!!!

Wow, here we are again! 8 Months, Little Miss E! Wasn't I just pregnant with you? Oh yeah, I was! And yet, another glorious month in you sweet life has rushed by, with Momma still demanding time to stand still.

You have grown so much in the last month! You are now almost 20 lbs and now finally weigh MORE than NATALEE, who is 13 months older than you! You were weighed on Wednesday, September 12th and you weighed exactly 18 lbs. 

You have the biggest thighs, girlfriend and I hope your little itty-bitty feet can hold them up! I love everyone of your little rolls!

You love to eat and suck on your feet and toes! You are very flexible.

There is no denying that you LOVE to eat. You open your mouth as wide as you can for every single bite. You would eat all real food and have no bottles if I let you. There isn't anything that you don't like. You eat breakfast, lunch and dinner now. At least two jars at each meal, sometimes three!!!! Like I said, PORK-CHOP!

You are constantly giggling and smiling. You love to laugh and I love to hear you laugh.

You love that your highchair is next to the window and often you will stare out the window at the birdies and the trees.

You are a big drooler. You are always sucking on something.

You can find the tag of anything and you love to play with them on anything. Just like your Momma.

You are a great sleeper. You sleep from 8PM to 7:30AM. You take one nap from 12:30PM to 4:00PM. Sometimes I give literally FIVE minutes in the am if you are fussy and must have a nap (or if you happened to wake up really early!).

You are in size 4 diapers because of your big thighs!

You can wear almost the same size as your big sisters. You aren't as long, but you are growing like a weed! You can wear 9 month, 9-12 months, 12 months and even some 18 months stuff. Six months is pretty tight on you now and I have packed it all up. Your sleepers are all 9 and 12 months.

You have grayish-brown eyes and light brown hair. Your skin is beautiful! You have long eyelashes and perfect little pink lips.

Your two bottom teeth are ALMOST here!!!!!! Ahh! I cannot wait, but I will miss that toothless smile of yours.

You are still the most easy-going baby ever. Seriously, all babies should be as good and as easy as you!

You have really started to show a lot of interest in crawling. You get up on all fours and rock back and forth just like your sisters did. It won't be long until you are chasing after them!

You love to swing still!

You LOVE to watch the TV, especially in the dark!

You love your bathies!

You love your pink bear lovie and your paci.

We LOVE you so much, Ems! You are such a blessing to our family and we couldn't imagine our lives without you!
