8 months old

On Saturday Miss Lauren turned 8 months old. She's a very big girl. She likes to be the center of attention...imagine that! She still likes vegetables over everything else. We've started giving her puffs, which she loves....and so does Biscuit! We tried the Stage 1 meats as well, which she did not like. Mommy can't blame her because they smell horrible...but mixed with carrots she seems to eat and like them. But then again carrots are her favorite! She is sitting up on her own very well, minus the little tumble we took this morning at the Chamber meeting. I thought for sure she'd have a bruise or egg on her head, but she's fine this afternoon. She tries to crawl, but occassionally pushes backwards and goes in reverse. She is rolling/flipping over more regularly. She likes to play with her toys and will work hard to get one out of reach. We're having some problems sleeping. We seem to be going through some teething pain, even though none of them have broke through the gums. So I'm attributing the sleeping problems to this. I hope it ends soon, because mommy could use some sleep as well!

Lauren napping in her crib....she looked so peaceful! She was taking about a 2 hour nap today during this photo. The naps have seemed to be longer now, which is nice but not normal!


Today, Miss Lauren took a big girl bath in the bathtub without her baby tub. It is probably long overdue! She loved it. And mommy liked it too since it was easier to wash her. I have some cute pics, but daddy says no naked pics on the blog...so this is the closest we'll get!
