Eight Months

 Where has the last month gone!  And how can Sierra already be 8 months old?

 Here's what Sierra is up to at eight months -
-Weighs approximately 16 pounds and is about 28 inches long.
 -Wears mostly 6-9 month clothes.   We still have half a pack of size 2 diapers left, but then it's on to size 3.  All of her cloth diapers are now on the medium setting.
-Still spits up some and drools a lot!
-Still just has 2 teeth.
-Is doing better with eating baby food.  I just added breakfast this week, so she get solids twice a day at breakfast and dinner.  Her face still gets a bit red when she eats fruit, but a visit with the allergist confirmed that it is not an allergy.  We'll probably see a gastroenterologist next to get to the bottom of her spit up and tummy issues.
-Nurses every three hours.
-Naps three times a day at approximately 9:00, 1:00, and 5:00.  Goes to bed about 7:30 and sleeps until 7:30ish.  I'm SO glad that her schedule has gotten a bit more predictable before I go back to school this month.
-Still waking up 1-2 (or more) times a night.  She often seems like her tummy is bothering her.
-Seem to be happiest when she is playing sitting up.  She still needs pillows behind/around her in case she falls.
-Is still pretty fussy in general and prefers Mommy to anyone else.
-Is having surgery on Thursday to remove her extra toes, so here's one last picture.

 Jordanna made me take a picture of her baby, too.
