8 months

Here is the 8 month photo shoot!







At 8 months, Shelby

  • nurses 5 times a day
  • wears 6-9 month, 9 month, and a few 12 month clothes
  • wears size 3 diapers
  • takes two 1.5-2 hour naps a day
  • sleeps through the night (started at about 7 months). She goes down at about 7:30pm and wakes up at about 6-7am, but I don't get her until about 7:30. She just plays around in her crib and will usually lay back down and snooze until I get her.
  • loves Puffs and Cherrios
  • can tip the sippy cup up and drink a little. She mostly just chews on it.
  • drools all the time. She has two bottom teeth that came in a while ago, but we have yet to see any more. I have a feeling they are on their way... 
  • can crawl!
  • pulls up on everything
  • eats everything
  • smiles at everyone
  • will pitch a hissy fit if you take something from her. I have to admit, it is pretty funny, but don't tell her I said that!
  • loves to play
  • loves to play with everything, except her toys. A few of her favorite things are the fireplace, light sockets, cords, sharp corners, shoes, the bow she has pulled out of her hair, the metal part of her paci clip, gumbo, gumbo's ball, etc. 
  • loves the pool. She even kicks her legs while in her float. She splashes water everywhere!
  • loves to be outside. She is always so clam when we sit on the front porch.
  • is developing such a sweet personality.
This girl blesses us in so many ways. We can't imagine life without her.
