Eliza slept through the night for the first time just after turning 8 months old! Since then she has slept through the night maybe half of the time. It has been amazing! She has just barely started taking just two naps a day. These naps are at about 9 and 1. She wakes up around 6:30 (sometimes closer to 6) and goes to bed around 6 pm. Her early bedtime is mostly because her naps often aren't very long.
Eliza claps! She does it spontaneously but will also do it on command if you say, "Yay Eliza!" She loves her new trick and so do we! She doesn't like being on her belly, and still doesn't have a huge interest in crawling. If she attempts to move around while on her belly, she'll either roll over or move backwards. I can tell that it is starting to bother her that she's not mobile.
Eliza's first two teeth just barely popped in! She doesn't seem to notice them or care. When it comes to food, she likes both baby food and table food. She is great at self feeding. She nurses 5 or 6 times a day. I still wake her up for a feeding around 9 or 10 pm about half the time. I am slowly cutting out this feeding. She is wearing size 3 diapers and size 12 month clothes.
Eliza babbles a lot and says Mama and Dada a lot, though still not on purpose. She likes to play by hitting you in the chest and having you say, "OUCH!" really playfully. She likes to knock over block towers and likes when people are super animated with her. She likes Peek a Boo and Patty Cake with her feet. She hates when she topples over. She also hates when there's a ton of commotion, especially in the evening when she's tired.
We love this girl!
