Well my baby is another month older. It has been fun watching Amelia interact with her surroundings this past month. She is discovering so much more.
Amelia loves to play with her toys but boy does she get MAD when Allison takes them away from her. She gets red in the face and screams. What Allison doesn't realize is that Amelia is growing at a faster rate than she is, so it won't be long before there are paybacks. In fact, when they are in the tub, Amelia will snatch Allison's wash cloth away whenever Allison isn't looking.
Speaking of the bathtub, Amelia loves her baths and could sit in there for hours if we let her. She especially loves it when Allison gets out first. I love watching her play in the tub; she looks so content like she is in her own little world. I think she will like the baby pool this summer.
Amelia also enjoys looking at books. We are trying to make a point of giving her some one-on-one time at night to read to her.
She is still content with sitting in one spot, however when she lays on her tummy she pulls herself up and is just starting to rock a bit. Hopefully this is the first sign of crawling.
Still no teeth yet, which is fine by me, although I hope they don't start when we are on vacation in a few weeks.
I introduced a few table foods to her in the last few days. I think it kind of snuck up on me that she turned eight months old and that I can start doing some table foods. We have done puffs, mashed potatoes, pasta, and chicken enchiladas (mainly the chicken). Amelia also loves ice cream, but we found that its best not to give her any when we go to the ice cream shop because she gets so upset if we stop feeding her for even a second. She has a complete temper tantrum.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the summer brings. It should be a fun time.
