8 Month Update

Elyse is now 8 months old!!


She weighs 16 lbs 5 oz and is 27 " long

- She can now officially Crawl on hands and knees and is getting really fast at it!

- She can pull her self up into a standing postion and some times can transfer her self from one object to another. Good thing we lowered her crib mattress just days before we found her standing in her crib.

- She can now go from a crawling position into a sitting position and back to crawling. She is very good at sitting on her own now.

- She still loves to make raspberries

- Elyse is chatting up a storm in her own language

- She still has no teeth or even signs of them, the drooling , gnawing on things comes and goes

- Some more foods that she got to try this month are: Sweet Potatoes, Water Melon, Apricots, Bananas, Avacados, Butternut Squash, Peaches, Tofu, Sand/Dirt and Grass!

- Some other firsts for Elyse this past month were:
Her first mosquito bite
Swimming in the new indoor pool
Her first cold = Snot! lots of Snot!!
Drinking water from a sippy cup
