Quinn's 8 month professional pics

Taken by my friend, Jacquie.  My children are incredibly difficult to photograph, but she got some great shots despite their best efforts to avoid her and her camera!










She also got a few shots of Tyson

I think this may be my most favorite picture of him!

Quinn - 8 months

I'm a little late!



Weight: 17ish pounds.  She'll be weighed again at her 9m appointment.

Height: Not sure. She'll be measured again at her 9m appointment.

Size: Size 2 diaper.  Wearing 6-9m clothes in brands that have them.  She's still not wearing the majority of her 6-12m stuff, but we're starting to creep into those sizes.  Yay!  She has a whole lotta cute stuff that she can wear.  Everything else is random.  6m onesies and Carters pjs, a few 9m Carter's pjs.  6m pants fit her best, 6-12m one-piece outfits.

Hair: Getting longer and thicker.

Teeth: 2 bottom teeth are fully through. I keep thinking more teeth are following, but none have popped through yet.

Sleeping: Sleeps in her crib for naps and bedtime. She goes down for the night between 7-8pm and wakes for the day between 6-7am. She takes 2 naps per day, one longer one in the mornings (2 hours) and a shorter one in the afternoon (1-1.5 hours).   If we catch her at the right time, naps and bedtime are a breeze.  She goes right to sleep.

Unfortunately, still waking at least once per night and only a small bottle will soothe her enough to get back to sleep. We know she can sleep through the night, but for whatever reason she cannot do it consistently.

Eating: Big news here!  She was eating 35-39oz per day + one solids feeing.  We started her on 2 solid meals each day and cut out a bottle as a result, so she's to a more reasonable 28-32oz per day. 

We also started challenging her dairy allergy and so far so good!  We did a week of 1/4 Similac Sensitive + 3/4 Alimentum and we're up to 50/50 now with no major reactions.  Woot!  I have renewed hope that we can use some of the 250+oz of frozen breastmilk. 

She's LOVING solids and feeding herself.  We went through all of the stage 1 foods and are into the stage 2 stuff + Cheerios and puffs.  I need to come up with more finger food ideas because she is starting to prefer feeding herself.  With the exception of mashed bananas, she's liked everything she's tried.   Her loathing of mashed bananas baffles me because she eats (and loves) them cut into tiny pieces.  Silly girl! 

Movement: She's army crawling and just before her 8 monthday, she started pulling up on her own.  We've had to lower her crib already.  I'm not ready for another early walker! 

Milestones:  Self feeding, pulling up, first Christmas, starting dairy.

Favorite toys/activities: Tyson still wins out for favorite toy and activity.  She is just enamored by him.  She follows him around constantly.  She also likes to play with any and all of his toys. 

Dislikes: Being hungry or tired.

Words: Chattering and screeching.  Says "ba"



I'm done with this sticker!


We love you Quinny!

kitty love and tiny baby feet

I think Tyson loves Baxter more than anything (or anyone else). Too bad Baxter doesn't share the same sentiments...

And, tiny baby feet:

More teeth!

I noticed tonight that Tyson has 2 new teeth popping through! Sorry, they're really hard to get a photo of (don't mind his boogs).



Grandpa W came to visit tonight:

Just a regular day by Tyson

Laying back and enjoying my afternoon bottle:



Mama, I think you forgot to comb my hair today:



I found my favorite spot in the house! Under my highchair in the kitchen:



My GG came to visit me (so did my Grandma and Grandpa):



Whew! What a long day. Time to relax with an UsWeekly before my bath:



See everyone tomorrow!

Hello Daddy!

Ryan is traveling for work, so it's just me and Tyson this week. Nothing but the normal shenanigans happening here:

Tyson is still drooling:



Still torturing Baxter:



And still has his adorable chunky cheeks:



Oh, and p.s. it appears that his hair continues to get blonder by the day:



We miss you!

Power Outage

For some reason, the power went out in our neighborhood tonight. Tyson and I played with flashlights in the dark. He even had his first candlelight dinner!

Luckily, I got a few pics before it got too dark:



And one of our candlelight:
