8 months

Chloe turned 8 months today. She is looking so grown-up in this picture. Last week she got her 6th tooth and loves eating bananas and cereal puffs. She has really started to get mobile. When we go get her in the morning she is scooting around her crib on all fours. She sort of crawling around the living room as well. She will be on hands and knees and lunge forward. She still sleeps 12 hours, but only naps for 45 minutes at a time (and still not in her crib). I told Brent that we (I) have to get her sleeping in her crib for naps by the time she is 9 months. That means that this month I have to get started on that. It is going to be HARD for me as I HATE leaving her in her crib to 'cry it out'. We will see how this goes. Pray for me, seriously. I am enjoying seeing more and more of Chloe's personality emerging. She has even thrown her first tantrums in the last few weeks, oh dear. She upgraded car-seats because she out grew her infant seat. We got at great seat, Evenflo Symphony, that has a great fit in our tiny car. It has taken some time to get her adjusted to being in it. Mostly she hates having a coat on when she is in there, which is a pain given that we seem to be living in Antartica these days. Here are some pictures that I love from the past few weeks.
Chloe loves bath time!

She can put her pacifier in by all by herself.
She gets frustrated sometimes."Crawling"Lunging.

Too big for her britches

Our baby girl is growing and growing some more! Last week I bought a few more 12mth sleepers and low and behold this is what I found after putting one on...We call her bottom, her 'boots' for some reason...it is cute! I would love it if any of you mamas with long babies could tell me brands that work, and ones I should avoid. After realizing she is long for her age I remembered a 12 month swimsuit I had gotten on clearance and decided to try it on her. Fits like a glove at 7 months. She REALLY liked being in it. I wish I could say the same about being in mine, thank God I have 4-5 months before I have to reveal my post-pregnancy body at the pool. Let's just say I will be looking for a one piece again.
