Lucy is now 8 months old! Insane, she is so grown up and fun. I love this stage with her and her curiosity and even the fact that she is into everything (though it is making me nervous to really decorate for Christmas, I am not sure how it is going to go with the tree). Lucy still only has her one tooth that has popped through, I keep thinking she will get the other bottom one soon but no luck yet. As for her development she has started eating bigger chunks of food and feeds herself from bits on the tray, it is a bit messy but still nothing compared to what it was like when she would suck her thumb with each bite. She hasn't met a food yet that she doesn't like so we can hope that continues and she will be a good eater as she grows.
She has slowed down a bit with putting everything in her mouth, it seems that it will all eventually end up there but she can play with the new object for awhile without eating it right away. She is walking around all the furniture, pulling herself up on anything and having a great time exploring the house. She is getting a few more owies but just being so mobile but still not quite great at balance. She loves playing with the blankets and toys with her brother still and doing whatever he is doing.
She still is not a great napper, getting two to three naps in a day with sometimes all of them being only 30 minutes and occasionally getting one that is almost an hour and a half. I would love it if she could just get to two good hour to hour and a half naps a day but with Jaydon not napping at all it isn't as though I have a lot of time during the day to get other stuff done so I don't think I notice the short naps as much as I did with Jaydon. She sleeps a long time at night (often from about 6:30pm-7:30am) but is still up two to three times a night to nurse and often have a diaper change. We love having Lucy and feel so blessed to have enjoyed our first 8 months with her and can't wait for what is still to come.
