8 Month Review

Libby turned 8 months on 5.26! Ahh!! We officially have her on a schedule. It is really nice to know when she is going to eat and roughly when she will take a nap. She still isn't consistently sleeping through the night but we have had a few wonderful nights of her sleeping all the way through.

Here is the recap of everything else =) :

Likes:

• Peas and Applesauce ---- mixed together! EWW!
• This yellow/orange monkey thing that Aunt Erin, Uncle Adam, Zoe gave her.
• Peekabo - especially in Mommy or Daddy's arms
• This little star thing in her crib - she pulls the chain and it plays "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". I officially hate the song now because it is what wakes me up in the morning.
• Hugs - she likes to give and receive them!
• Lady Bug Book - It's this cute book that her cousin Zoe has and we picked up a the Zoo. It is awesome!
• Furry toy that moves (aka, Max the Cat)
• Tickling under her arms! So fun!
• Mommy's Teddy Bear (don't judge me!) - she loves to wrestle the bear and totally wins!
  

Dislikes:

• Pureed Meat - EWW! Cannot blame her
• Eating solid foods when Daddy feeds her...only eats well when Mommy feeds her. Daddy is awesome when it comes to the bottle!
• Being hot - it is going to be a LONG summer.
• Puffs - she chokes/gags on them but still wants them. Definitely my daughter. =)
