Abigail month 8

Abigail Month 8

• We left the girls with Lolly and Papa while we went to a party. She took a bottle well (5oz) but was up and wanting to nurse several times. 
• I think she might be starving during the last stretch of the day, so I’m trying several things to see if they help. 
• She loves a bottle. 
• Stayed with Poppi and Daddy one afternoon and evening while Meme and I took Claire to a show. 
• I tried formula before bed to see if it fills her up a little more. I made 6oz, but she only drank 3 and then nursed some. 
• She LOVED having all the attention while Claire was in Russellville. 
• She’s had several good nights, only waking once, and then up for the day around 6. And then a few rough ones. 
• A tooth (barely) broke the skin on 12/13! Her bottom front right tooth. 
• She claps toys together.
• She likes to lift her hands over her hand. 
• She does a laugh/cry when I pick her up and gives me a big hug. (Andrew too)
• She makes a sucking sound with her tongue. 
• She responds to her name. 
• She’s doing really well with eating table food! She did eat some bread with peanut butter, and that evening broke out in some bad eczema patches on her face and arm. They are still there 3 days later, though, so I’m not sure if it was peanut butter or just a fluke break out. 
• This week she’s picked up so much personality. She’s talking so much and flirting. She loves to be a part of the playing and wrestling. 
• She’s (more consistently) rolling from her back to her belly 🙌🏻
• She’s had a pretty yucky cold. Currently on day 7. A lot of snot and a congested cough. 
• She celebrated her very first Christmas. She even survived Christmas with her cousins in Russellville with a cold! 
• She’s waving hi and clapping. 
• She rolled across the room on 12/30. 
• Like clockwork, she still wakes up at 11, 2, 4 and 6:30

This has been the month of PERSONALITY! She’s pretty much out of the little baby crying period. Our evenings with her are so much fun! She loves watching and playing with us.
