Finley Jane : Eighth Month

Week Thirty One

Week Thirty Three

Week Thirty Four

Weight/Length

We didn't go to the doctor again this month. If I had to guess, I'd say she's still gaining weight at a steady pace. I'd say maybe 17.5 pounds and 27 inches long.

Sleep

She is still waking up 2-3 times a night. She likes to take about three naps a day. Most of the time, they're on the shorter side, but sometimes she'll sleep for about an hour each time. 

Eating

She is now eating stage 3 foods. We don't do a whole lot of baby food though. She will eat just about anything we're eating. She likes to have a bite in her mouth and two more bites ready in each hand. When she wants more, she'll pound on her tray until we give her another bite. We are still nursing! During the day, she nurses every two hours or so. She still will get the occasional bottle of formula. Especially if I'm going to be gone for an extended period of time.

Diapers

We are in a size 3. I heard this is the size they stay in the longest. I had a case of Pampers that I had purchased before she was born. We've been using those, but once they run out we'll be switching back to Luvs.

Clothing

Baby girl is all over the place when it comes to clothing. I finally packed up her 3 month (and under) clothing and got out the 6-9 box. She is still wearing 6 month clothing. A few 6-9 pieces fit. She hates shoes and will kick  them off almost instantly. I think she's finally in a size 1.

Mood

She is the sweetest baby! She loves to cuddle and give kisses. She is extremely sensitive and you can easily hurt her feelings. She is very stubborn and does not like being told no. She finally cut two teeth, so her mood has been a bit sour during that time.
