scarlett: 8 months old









I feel like all these pictures are blurry because this girl doesn't stop moving! Scarlett has grown in small ways all month long! Her fine motor skills are developing-- she now can pick up a cheerio and feed it to herself. She's pulling herself up on her knees and rocks on her hand and knees more often (but still prefers to army crawl). She started pulling herself up to her feet with the shopping cart, but realized she can reach items inside the cart just pulling up to her knees. Such is life. She has been sleeping better all around, 2-3 naps a day and 11 hours at night. Nursing and weaning (I think) and still not loving sippy cups. Eats so. much. food. Makes the funniest faces when I feed her strawberries. Can be so easily bribed by cheerios. Avocados are my go to. Hasn't quite come around to oatmeal yet (but I think it's because of the quinoa mixed in). Gives us the biggest gummy grins often (still only 2 teeth) and rarely pouts. Speaking of grins, she'll smile so big while she's eating that food starts to fall out, and then she'll nonchalantly push it back into her mouth with her index finger. She started saying "da da" "ma ma" and "ba ba" and chatters non-stop. Our happy camper and loves to swing, run in her walker, gum on toys, flip book pages, and do anything big sister is doing!


The sweetest sisters. I feel like their love grows every month! They hold hands and give each other high fives. Amelia now shares are babies and most precious, coveted items and will pick up anything Scarlett drops and sings to her when she's upset.

This next month will be a game changer. Amelia is off to preschool for 2.5 hours, 2 days a week. Bring on mommy+Scarlett time!
