month 8

It’s funny how much the girls are alike at each lesson… I just went back and read over Gracee’s eight month lessons and it’s like they are twins! One big difference is Alison is getting a ton of hair… and it fuzzy. All of our little ones are growing up too quickly. Eight month lessons already:

Alison scoots… just like her sister she can reach what she wants by wiggling over to it. Scooting on her butt and getting the toy is pretty smart but makes we wonder if she will ever try to crawl.

Alison loves her feet… they twist and turn when she is excited or thinking about doing something. When I am changing her diaper and she can reach them… she gets too excited.

Ali has seven teeth but is working on number eight. She doesn’t seem to be in as much pain with this last one either.

Alison loves to get two objects and bang them together… she laughs at herself every time. Blocks are one of her favorites.

Ali is still in a size three Huggies diapers and does not like to have a mess in her pants, even too much pee is hard to handle sometimes! She is such a little princess… hard to believe that in ten months we will be working on potty training.

Alison loves her bubby… every time she sees he she laughs out loud. It is the cutest thing and he loves it too.

Ali ate green beans the other day with the rest of the family… not pureed but actual green beans… and loved them! I gave her a banana too. Her big people foods are still cheetos, cheri-o’s and whales (like go-fish) and Gracee loves to feed them to her.

Alison shakes her head like Stevi Wonder and it is funny… she smiles so big and laughs.

Ali makes this squeaking noise when she is pooping… as she grunts its like she breaths in at the same time… its hard to explain but when she is constipated you know whats up.

My sweetheart is getting older and growing up to be such a cutie pie. From her laugh to her smile she can make you melt. We continue to take note of the big things but also know that each day something new will happen and our kids will hopefully learn as they teach us. Until next time!
