8 Months has flown by, and our Little Livy is one month closer to her first ever birthday!
She is teething again. This time she is in pain. Her two top teeth are coming in, one is already quite visible, and she is just uncomfortable.
Staying on the theme of teeth, Alivia loves to floss her two bottom teeth. She really just loves the mint taste from the woven floss, but whatever makes her enjoy getting her teeth brushed and flossed is ok with me.
She is eating like a champ these days. We have to be careful with her favorite, bananas, because of constipation issues (who knew she could be so sensitive to it), but no crying occurs during meal time. She eats one really good meal a day before her bath, and two casual "no set time" meals in between her bottles in the day.
note the delicious rolls as evidence.
She's definitely gaining more fine motor skills. She can grab her pacifier if she wants it and put it in her mouth successfully every time.
She says mama over and over when she is complaining. She's smart because it gets me to pick her up and entertain her every. single. time. I love her only little word. I don't know that she realizes it's my title/name, but she sure does know it gets me to come rescue her from boredom.
She gets frustrated when trying to crawl. For weeks she's been rocking on her hands and knees, but her hands don't move as well as her knees do and in the end, she usually crawls backwards or ends up on her chest. All very frustrating for her.
She loves to pull herself up on things. She's not strong enough yet to do it consistently well, but oh boy, is she so excited when she does do it well.
She's laughing more, but it's like a fake laugh. We love it! She's also crying more at insignificant things. Like when we have to take something away that she's enjoying or when we leave for a second to go grab something from the next room.
I'm still super obnoxiously obsessed with this little nugget, and as Cody says, I spoil her. He also says I follow her around like I'm paparazzi.
