At eight months Ivy:
>> is sitting up, which is a major milestone in the last month. It has completely changed how she interacts with
toys and she is getting more confident by the day.
>> has worked out that she can affect how people react
to her by smiling, laughing and bouncing. She loves showing off when people are
around and all the attention it brings her.
>> is happy. She has her odd grizzly day but she
is generally very laid back, especially when we’re out and about or we have visitors
as it gives her lots to look at. We went out for dinner on Sunday and she just
sat happily all afternoon. She also had her first experience of Disney
– she was entranced and kept laughing and bouncing. We don’t have a TV so she
barely sees it normally!
>> loves to pat and stroke people’s hands, arms and
faces. However her nails are super sharp and often scratch painfully!
>> is still eating well. I’ve been trying to be more
proactive about making my own baby food and she seems to like it better than
the pouches – although her favourite is still the Minted Pea and Lamb and
Spaghetti Bolognese pouches.
Her routine is normally something like 7am feed and breakfast, 9am nap, 12pm
lunch and feed, 1.30pm nap, 3pm feed, 5pm dinner, 6pm bath, snuggles, feed and
bed.
>> has been sleeping much better the last couple of
weeks. She isn’t sleeping through every night but much more regularly than she
was. She started sleeping better when I stopped feeding her formula which is a
bit random!
>> has become much
more vocal. We had a few days last week when she was “BAAAA MAAAA BAAA”ing all day.
>> loves going to a new baby group, playing with different
toys and making new friends. She seems to have a constant cold though but I
guess it’s good to mix the germs?!
>> loves song time.
>> needs a haircut {I'm in denial}
She is changing so rapidly. We love our little
family!
