Ainsley is 8 months!

Taken by Ms.Lacey Baker at Aiden's 3 year photo shoot. 
Wow! Seriously, she needs to stop growing up so fast!

Big News...she is saying momma, da-da, and bubba!  She is crawling! She will crawl just a few steps then sit up or change direction, and does this hopping when sitting on her bottom.  Nevertheless, she definitely gets where she wants to go.  She's busy!  Also, we are pulling up on everything!  Just this last week, she has started letting go of things when shes standing and can balance for a few seconds.  She's getting brave!  It seems the crawling and pulling up came together in a matter of a week!  Apparently, she thinks crawling is for the birds and wants to go right to walking, haha. 

Aiden is so proud when she stands or crawls, he's always quick to yell "momma, look at sissy!"  Although, he is starting to get a lil annoyed that shes getting into all his stuff now.  And so it begins...

Weight: 19.5 lbs
Diapers: size 3
Clothes: 9-12 months
Food: She is doing ok with baby food. She still prefers fruit over the veggies and is very good about making that clear to us :) We have started giving her yogurt melts or puffs, and she loves them. She loves drinking from sippy cups!
Sleeping:  Sleeps most of the night, most nights. :)  When she does get up in the middle of the night or early morning, I nurse her then put her in the pack-n-play in our room. 
Teeth: Still no teeth, but seems to be teething. Shes not fussy, but just crams everything into her mouth and chews. 

Other News:  Her and Aiden love making noises back and forth at each other.  They love each other so much already.  He rushes to her room when she gets up from a nap, and will get upset with me if I  go in there without him.  He likes to see her peek up out of her bed, when she hears us walk in...so cute! 

We had to lower the crib this month...

Shes so busy these days, that when I go to the bathroom or have to brush my teeth, etc.  she goes with me, so I get to look at this cute face while Im getting ready.

Loves her fruit! 
My family calls her, lil Brittany.
