Burkleigh Ann is 8 months old..

How are you eight months old?
I think I'm gonna cry.. you're growing up too fast.  
You are on the move.  Yay!
You just started crawling about a week ago and you are getting into everything.  
It is so fun.. I love it!  =)
You are in a mommy phase right now..you won't let many people hold you for very long except your Mimi.
You are crazy about her.  When she comes in a room, you will laugh and smile like nothing else.  It is the sweetest.  Today at the mall, you wanted nothing to do with me just Mimi.  I don't think she minds..=) 
You have two little teeth on bottom and I can feel your top teeth starting to come in. 
You weigh around 17 lbs if I had to guess.  
You are wearing 6 month clothes and size 2 diaper and 3 at night.
You drink about 5 oz of formula every 4-5 hours and take about 4-5 bottles a day.
You were sleeping through the night until you got sick and then I felt like you were a newborn again.  =(  But, you are slowly creeping back to your old ways and sleeping longer. 
You are starting to go to bed a little later.. usually around 7 or 8 and you sleep till around 5 and drink a bottle and go back till about 8.   
You still love your mobile and when I change your diaper on your changing table you will roll over trying to see your mobile.  You are a wiggly worm.  Its challenging changing your diaper now.. you are a mover!
You have been sick this month for the first time.  You had an ear infection, pink eye and a yucky cough and congestion.  You still have the cough.  Its not too bad but the dr. put you back on another round of antibotics today.  Hopefully this will knock it out of you.
We have lowered your crib because you are sitting up and trying to pull up.  
You still take two naps and you are a great little napper.  (about 2 hours each)
 
I love this picture.. you are a little flexible thing. Trying to reach up to your mobile.  Sometimes you will sit up and put your head down in between your feet and fall asleep like that with your feet in your face.  I wonder if you will be a little gymnast? You love your bunny lovie and will rub it against your face when you are tired.
You love eating Puffs and baby mum mums crackers.  Those are your two favorite snacks. You can feed yourself and you've gotten really good with those puffs.  =)
You would eat the whole jar of puffs if I would let you.  
You are a saying ma-ma and ba-ba still waiting on da-da.
You love to squeal and be tickled.
Your hair has really lightened up even more.  
You love playing peek a boo.. this is a picture through the slits of the crib.
You have the best little laugh.  I love it!
You love music and singing.  You love our music class on wednesdays and your favorite toy is your bell that you got from music class. I hope you will be musically talented.
  You also like your puppy toy that you got at christmas.
You love to sing Ride a little Horsie.
You are just the sweetest baby and I love you bunches.  
Makes me sad to think about going back to work.. these have been the best 8 months.. challenging and hard but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  
We love you Burkleigh Ann!
