Sleeping Kate goes to be most nights around 8 pm and sleeps until about 7:30. She usually eats around 11 pm and one other time overnight (3am or so). Kate now usually only takes 2 naps per day- one around 9 am and another around 1:00 pm.
Eating Kate continues to nurse every 3 hours during the day. Kate really enjoys feeding herself anything- but loves puffs and baby mum mums. She also enjoys lots of different purees. She has tasted pancakes, ice cream, eggs, and salmon and is learning to explore different textures.
Movement Kate is trying so hard to crawl. She can lift herself up and push herself backwards, but no crawling yet.
Milestones Kate started pulling up on everything in sight just before 8 months.
Favorite toys/activities Kate is very interested in playing with many different toys. She loves anything she can put in her mouth. She loves water bottles and legos, but also rattles, activity cubes, and other soft toys. She is particularly interesting in watching Jackson and trying to share her big brother’s toys.
Dislikes Kate still likes to eat over night. We are hoping she starts sleeping through the night without waking to eat soon. We are considering
Words & sounds Kate has started to say ma, ba and da. She loves to babble. She also still loves to giggle!
What we love Kate is such a happy baby. We feel so lucky!
What we don’t love Night waking. Hoping this ends soon, either on her terms or with some sleep training.
What we’re looking forward to next month Crawling- she is so close, we have a feeling she will learn this skill in the next month.
