8 months old!

Eight months old!!  Eleana, there is no stopping you!  Crawling is old news.  Now, crawling in turbo is your new way to move!  Especially when you are trying to keep up with Bubba.  You still love to go into the toy room and stand at his train table to see what he is playing with.  You mess up his line of cars that he just set up and you really like to chew on Toothless!  You can crawl up the stairs, over mommy and daddy if we are lying on the floor, and even crawled up onto Bubba's Avengers box to get to his remote control car.  You pull up onto everything now.  You even managed to hold onto the coffee table, let your feet out from under you and hold on with both hands.  You are fearless, my little one!  Taking a bath is a little more challenging.  You don't like to sit in your little ducky.  You insist on standing up and trying to crawl out.  You don't like having your diaper changed.  You would rather roll over and crawl away naked!  You are not sleeping too well, lately.  Probably because your two bottom teeth finally came in.  You wake up now 1-2 times a night to eat.  I think its more because you hurt and are just looking for a little TLC.  You eat a bit, and then reach for your bed and fall back to sleep pretty quick.  You are eating very well.  You eat 3 solid meals a day and take 3 bottles.  Mommy still feeds you in the morning and at night.  You like oatmeal, bananas, apple sauce, carrots, peas, avocado.  You are now able to pick up bite sized fruit melts and little cereal to eat on your own.  You learned really quick how to pincer grip and get the food to your mouth.  You wave bye-bye and you call your "dadda" when he gets home from work.  You chase your brother when he goes up the stairs and call out "bubba" like you are trying to tell him, "wait up!"  You like to dance to music.  We went to Nana and Papa's house and Papa put on some country music.  You danced with your Papa in the living room and made his day!  The Puerto Rican blood coming out!  :)  This month has been a big one for you.  Mom and dad are wiped out by the end of the day.  We are so blessed by you, Eleana!  Here's to another month, mija!!  We love you!
