8 Month Old Particular Eater

Have to admit (thanks to google) I thought my princess had some issue with eating food. There was an article I read about feeding therapist and boyee you can get carried away with that stuff. Come to find out she does not like baby food and LOVES mama's cooked food. You name it she eats it. Chicken skins (a Hudson favorite), turkey loaf, spaghetti, fig newtons (I didn't make that haha), toast with jelly....she loves flavor! Her all time favorite right now is malt-o meal with butter, sugar and cinnamon. She screams for it. 

Grace's first word in the morning is bubba. She's always looking for him when he's not awake yet and he's always top of mind. When she wants me she says mama. It's like music to my ears :). I've been working on a few new words. With my nutty repetition I'm sure she'll come around some time or just think her momma is crazy. 

Cutest thing ever, maw maw taught her "no no no" with her head. If you say that to Grace she starts shaking her head. 



She's such a good listener right now (hehe). I don't say no to her nearly as much as most first time parents think is important (yes I'm guilty here - sorry Hudson). So any time Grace is going for an electrical outlet, wires or bathroom floors if I tell Grace no no sissy she stops, looks at me and looks as if she's thinking...well ok mom I won't do that. 



The last month she has gotten so strong. Pulling herself up on everything and walking along our grey couch. While I agree this couch needs to go eventually it's been the perfect walking couch for both of our babies. It's my favorite part about the couch (the only thing I like about it haha). Grace pulls herself up and walks side to side. She's standing up for a good 30 seconds without holding onto anything. She's so thinking about moving forward and I'm thinking (SLOW DOWN CHILD). I have to say, she learns 90% of what she does from her bubba. He's such a sweet bubba to her and she's trying to keep up. Soon enough the 2 of them will be running around together. 

The second child woes. My poor princess gets sick way more than Hudson did. She catches everything Hudson gets and boyeee they've been through the wringer this sick season. I'm hopeful that truly means less illnesses when they start school because there has to be silver lining to that. It effects her so much more than an older child and makes me so sad for her. You can tell it truly makes her feel different. My poor angel. I'm looking forward to Spring/Summer and less yucky germs. Eek!

Dislikes, this one is comical (sorry Grace). If you barely touch Grace's foot or hand to a piece of grass she will scream like a snake bit her. Now this is funny because 1. It's crazy to think that a piece of grass can set off an easy going baby and 2. I did this exact thing when I was a baby. Is it hereditary? I don't know but my parents said they knew I was safe if they put me on a blanket because I wasn't going anywhere LOL. 

This angel of ours is so easy going and along for the ride no matter what we do. She loves to watch her bubba and is secretly planning her future from all that she learns from her sweet bubba.
