These past two months, baby girl has been growing by leaps and bounds, so much so, I feel like I have a one year old! Maybe it's just her being an over achiever, or its a boy vs. girl thing but she has picked things up waaaay faster than either of the boys did (minus speech, the boys were saying numerous words by 8 months).
Her personality has really started coming through and we are catching a glimpse of the little girl she is going to be. She loves having attention, and will fake cough or cry if she feels it is lacking. She is extremely happy and loves when its loud and pure madness in the house. If the boys are running around or wrestling, she is sitting there roaring and kicking her legs in excitement! I have a feeling she is going to be our wild one.
Each month we are just more amazed with our Lady Hayley, and still have moments where we can't believe that she is ours.
Stats: no official weigh in but probably just under 20lbs
Sleep: Well our amazing little sleeper disappeared around 7 months. It all started the night she cut 2 teeth, she and I were up from midnight until 6am, of course it also happened to be the night before we left for vacation. For a month straight she was waking up every night, multiple times and sometimes would be awake for a couple of hours. I'm not sure if it was teething related, wonder weeks or just a phase. It seems to be over for the most part, thank goodness!! Most nights she is asleep by 7:30pm and wakes up at 7am. Big news!!! Hayley was moved into her room, her own room...at 7 months old...shocking I know!! However she seems comfy in the crib and I'm doing ok, I only check the monitor a handful of times throughout the night lol. Nap wise, she was taking two solid naps, but now it seems she is starting to drop her morning nap, which why wouldn't she seeing I'd had Tuesday and Thursday mornings to get things done while the boys are at school.
Social: Our girl is still as nosey as ever and loves to be in the mix of it all! Whenever Chase and Asher get together with their guy friends, the boys dote on her and you can tell she loves every minute of it. She gets so excited whenever she sees another baby her age, and apparently her friend Amelia is her jungle gym.
Diet: For the most part Hayley eats pieces of food instead of purees. There really isn't much that she doesn't like. She is a huge fun of pulled pork, grilled cheese, soups. One of her favorites is anything with banana in it.
Skills/Milestones: Where do I even start? She has two teeth, her bottom two to be exact and cut them at exactly the same time. No wonder the girl was up all night! Since 6 months she has been getting up on hands and knees but just couldn't figure out how to go forwards, finally right at 7 months she just took off one afternoon and hasn't stopped since. The next day she started to pull herself to standing on any toy or piece of furniture that she can.
