8 Months Old

Today this little bird is officially 8 months old. I have been doing my darnest to keep her a newborn forever but she has taken 8 months as a challenge. Just this past week she started sitting on her own, and spent all of spring break showing off and perfecting this new trick! Then the last 2 days she has been scooting herself all over the place. She isn't quite up on her hands and knees but I know that will come all to soon! She is such a sweet fun baby, full of smiles.

Elle is very particular and knows what she wants! If she has a wet or dirty diaper she lets you know right away. She really doesn't like it when she wants to nurse but I'm trying to give her bottle! Elle takes the pacifier but barely, so I think we will just get rid of it soon. Most of the time we try and give it to her she just purses her little lips shut! Then gets even madder that we tried to pacify her. My favorite thing is how she just wants her family all the time. When the children get home she gets so excited and kicks her legs and flaps we arms as has the biggest smile.

I need to weigh her but she still mostly wears 0-3 month clothes, newborn size shoes, and a size 2 diapers (which are big but she has been having some major blow outs so I'm trying to catch it all in the bigger diapers! 😉)

I am so in love with this sweet baby! She is the best and we are so grateful she is the caboose to our family! I just wish this first year would slow down a little!
