This month she experienced her first Christmas and was a complete champ, hardly getting fussy at all even after about five late nights in a row and napping in different places, sometimes the car.
She continued to dislike pureed food unless she could suck it out of a pouch, and has truly started showing intense interest in what we are eating. If you give her something "baby", such as pieces of banana or peas, and everyone else is eating a chicken dinner or spaghetti she will make a scene to get some. Fortunately her pincer grasp is catching up with her desire to feed herself everything we eat and so far nothing has obviously bothered her tummy, so it works out okay.
She finally slept a straight twelve plus hours on December 30 (and hasn't done it since), but usually averages 10-11 hours straight starting around 6:30-7 and then she will sleep another 1-2 until I get her up at 8am.
She hasn't mastered official "crawling" but is a very fast scooter/army crawler. You can see her set her sights on something (usually not a toy, ha!) and she will get there very quickly. Madison loves her sister, Mommy & Daddy, all dogs, and is starting to show recognition of other family members since we have seen everyone so frequently for the holidays. No one will top Anna Kate though!
Both of my girls looking and smiling?! Quick, frame it!
Because, then, things like this happen. It's hard being loved so much, isn't it Madison?
SO. SO. BIG!
"8 months, NO WAY guys!"
"I am just so very excited about being 8 months! Or these blocks! Really about anything!"
"Oh. My. Gosh!"
