Another month has come and passed, and now my darling baby bear is now 8 months old. Right now she is pleasantly sleeping in the crib, and out in record time. 
We’ve had a struggle this month with sleeping through the night, but I think we’ve gotten over the hump. The 7th month was definitely trying on all of us with the holidays to boot, but we made it through it.
Looking back, we had a great 7th month, filled with many milestones reached and conquered. A personality has really blossomed and she recognizes what her name is, and loves all the positive attention she gets when we tell her she’s done a good job. I thought it was hilarious the first time she actually clapped; I thought it was cool when she first waved “hi” to a pretty girl in a store, but it was amazing to see her clap when everyone was cheering for her feats of strength.
I’m not really sure what else the 8th month will bring us, but it will be fun and interesting no less. Right now we’re all about childproofing the house and trying to be one step ahead. It’s a full time job just trying to figure out what she’ll be curious about that hadn’t even crossed my mind yet.
*sigh* my little monkey is growing up, and looking more and more like a real person with a personality. I can’t wait until she starts talking. I’ll finally have someone that can talk back to me during the day. What I really don’t look forward to is the back talking, which may come sooner than I think. Hopefully we can curb that before it becomes a problem.
I’m so happy I have my little munchkin and look forward to what the next month has to offer us.
Happy 8 months, baby girl!
