Time is flying by and I need it to slow down! I feel like it was yesterday we were struggling to figure out her belly issues and now she is 4 months away from being a toddler. And while I am glad we got through that I would give anything to have those days back to be able to enjoy my baby again. She no longer wants to sit or lay with me in the chair...she no longer wants to snuggle or cuddle...and she no longer wants to just hang out and look around. She now wants to move move move, screech, screech, screech, and move, move, move! She is not crawling yet but man is she close! She scoots on her butt and uses her legs like a skier (side to side) to get to where she wants to go. One minute she is in one spot and the next minute she is across the room. She has been attempting to pull herself up but so far isn't able to make it without a little help. All these things are ok with me! There is no need for her to crawl yet...or pull herself up! I want her to stay a baby....I attempted a stage 3 food the other day and she gagged on the peas in it...not going to lie...I was kind of happy (not that she gagged) that she wasn't ready for that yet! She is getting into everything now and everything goes right into her mouth..yuck!
So at 8 months Bristol:
- is wearing 9-12 month clothes
- loves watching her brothers and sister and can't wait to join in with them
- loves her baby food and I don't see her giving it up anytime soon
- loves sweet potatoes, bananas, apples, squash...and all the cool mixes beechnut and gerber make now!
- loves going for walks in the stroller
- hates hates hates loud noises...
- startles easy and cries (used to love the vacuum but now hates it)
- sleeps well in her crib
- has 5 big girl teeth!! ...3 on bottom and 2 on top!
- does really well with teething...no yucky diapers or fevers or extreme fussiness yay!
- still won't hold her bottle on her own much...every once in a while she will...but again its ok with me!
- no longer uses her baby swing at all...its been a good month since she has used it :(
- no longer uses the rock n play at all...again about 2-3 months since she's used it :(

- can screech louder than any human being I know
- gets told all the time that she looks just like her sister
- gets asked if her and Brooklyn are twins

- likes to be tickled on my neck
- is an absolute sweet heart that everyone falls in love with!
