Today Kate is 8 months old! Where does the time go?? Here's a little bit of info about what our sweetie pie is up to these days:
- She's getting really good at drinking out of a sippy cup, but WAY prefers to slosh and slurp out of a big person cup. She gets so excited when we let her do it, but the water usually gushes out of her mouth & down her face.
- Recently graduated to 3 "solid" meals a day. None of the portions are very big by baby standards...but she does seem to eat more food at dinnertime. So far she appears to prefer veggies over fruits. Right now her fav veggies are sweet potatoes, carrots, and green peas, and her fav fruits are prunes by far (but you gotta go easy on those prunes). She also likes avocados, but I've discovered that they give her constipation...I've thought about pairing the prunes & avocados to balance each other out. :-) Definite dislikes are butternut squash and home-prepared bananas (but she'll eat the awful Gerber bananas. Weirdo.)
- Points and prods with her index finger
- Can stand holding onto the couch with our support
- Is getting much better at tummy time and is pushing up on knees every once in a while
- Has learned how to screech at the top of her lungs and is, much to our dismay, proficient at it. Although sometimes it is a sign of distress, often it is just a vocal experiment. We hope this phase passes soon...
- Lastly, she still enjoys being outside and going for walks and is more than willing to brave the winter chill to do so.
