8 months

Brooke is actually closer to 9 months, but hey, better late than never, right?  She continues to be an amazing, sweet baby that brings us so much joy!!  She just had a double ear infection this last weekend, but was such a good sport!  A very drippy nose but had I not taken her in to the dr, I never would have known...she hardly fussed at all!!  What a dream!  She is drinking anywhere between 18-26 ounces or so and can hold her own bottle.  She really doesn't want the paci anymore, much preferring her thumb.  She can completely go from all fours to sitting up and can easily sit up in her crib and wait for me to get her.  She is kind of reaching for me to pick her up.  She eats three good solid meals a day.  She has had some stage 3 jars and some meats and yogurt but has started some finger foods...cheerios are her favorite!!!!  She has two little pearly whites on her bottom.  She doesn't really crawl, but can roll or "lunge crawl" and is pretty efficient in getting what she, wants...which is usually the remote or package of baby wipes or someone's hair!!  Man, does she pull hard!!  She gets about half way to pulling up before giving up.  She loves outlets and cords are even more fun...better start that babyproofing soon!!  I continue to be in awe of her...how lucky I am!
