8 months old and a little of May

8 month stats:

Harper has become such a happy, giggly little girl in her 8th month. She loves to play with her sister, and giggles at almost anything Ava does. She is moving around like crazy (I wouldn't call it a full crawl its more like a crawl/scoot, but she is getting around pretty quickly and LOVES this new freedom. 

- She is still eating like crazy and nursing every 3 hours. 
- Sleep has been up and down. We were in a great habit of sleeping through the night at the beginning of April and then she got sick which took us 10 steps back with sleeping and she was up all night. Something had to be done once she was over her virus. We did a little (light and loving) sleep training and got her sleeping from 7:30 pm - 6:30 am with one dream feed around 10:30. With the exception of a few bad nights when she was getting her third tooth this has worked pretty well for us and i can finally say I am somewhat feeling rested. 
- She has 3 teeth!! (Third one came in this week)
- 17.9 pounds (this past month has been her slowest yet in weight gain). Probably because she was sick for most of the month. 
- Babbling - Although she is a lot quieter than her sister when she is alone with me and can actually get a word in she gets to talking! 
- Stranger danger has set in. Except it isn't just strangers with this one, it is everyone except mom. 

My smiley girl. This kid really pulls at my heart strings. <3 

Hard to get her to sit for a picture. I had to get creative. 
Whenever we get together for dinner with the Langsdales at the kids always take a bath together. This time we daringly attempted all 4 kids in the bath. There were some tears and a few falls, but they all came out clean and happy.

I guess it is time to start baby proofing. She is ON THE MOVE!

 Enjoying story time and a smoothie with her buddy at the aquarium.

 Lots of babies and sharks! I started a mommy and me class with these littles and their mommies when Harper was just 6 weeks old. I love watching them grow up alongside of Harper.
