Eight Months!

Mairin is eight months old and WILD!  She is a mover and observes everyone around her and can't wait to be able to keep up.  She is crawling everywhere, standing up, going up the stairs and starting to attempt to walk around things as she is standing.  It is hard to change her diaper and get her dressed as she is always trying to move on to the next thing.  Squirming, twisting and fighting you the entire time.  We are all getting a good workout trying to contain her.

She still has such a sweet, easy going personality.  She LOVES Nolan and Quinn and gets so excited to see them every morning.  She is full of smiles and laughs and is fun to be around.

This month a couple of teeth popped out on the bottom and she has started to eat more and more finger foods and rarely will eat baby food for us anymore.  She really loves frozen peas and it has been hard to get her to eat anything else but we have had some success with bananas, strawberries, edamame, and black beans.  She likes Cheerios and bread as well.  Hopefully she will continue to try new things and get used to the different tastes and textures.  Nolan and Quinn are such good eaters, I am hoping for one more!

At eight months, Mairin eats four bottles a day, takes two naps and sleeps through the night.  She loves to swing on a swing set, crawl around and explore, jump in her jumper, and chase her siblings around.  She has tested out the Cozy Coupe and enjoys strolling around in that as well as the stroller now that the weather is getting better.  She smacks her lips constantly and thinks it's funny when you mimic her.  

Eight months is definitely a fun age and we are having a blast chasing her around and watching her grow!
