8 months

 I can't believe Eliza is 8 months old!



Eliza has no teeth or even any sign of any teeth. She is in 12 months clothes and size 3 diapers. She has yet to sleep though the night, though she has been pretty dang close a couple times. She definitely can't crawl yet and doesn't seem to have any interest in learning. She can stretch and reach pretty far though from the sitting position. Good thing she's pretty flexible! 

She still takes about 3 naps a day and usually wakes up around 6:15 am. She still isn't the best napper. She likes lots of foods. She eats both table food in little pieces and baby food. She will eat almost everything that I give her and very much enjoys meals and snacks.

Eliza likes the bath. Since she goes to bed around 6:00, she usually takes her bath by herself. (Her siblings are usually still downstairs playing.) I put just a little bit of water in and she likes to splash and suck on rubber ducks.

Eliza is still a good nurser. She nurses about 6 times in a 24 hour period. Her last feeding is at about 10 pm. I usually wake her up for this feeding and do it so that she doesn't need to eat during the night. Just after she turned 7 months old I dropped her middle of the night feeding and she adjusted easily.


She said, "mama!!!!" I was so excited, even though she doesn't know what she's saying. :-) Shortly after she said, "dada." She says dada more often, but I like to point out that she said mama first. Ha!

Eliza is ticklish and likes patty cake and peek-a-boo. She really likes textured balls. She also loves baby crackers and Puffs. She is still so much fun! She is growing up way too fast!
