Update On The Girls: 8 Months

Another month has passed by, but so many memories have been made. Love these girls!

Adelyn at 8 months:


Emery at 8 months:


Some facts from the girl's eighth month of life:
-Wearing 6-12 month clothes.
-Mainly wearing cloth diapers with no snap. In disposables, they are wearing a size 3 diaper.
-Eating 4 times per day. They take an 6 ounce bottle of formula at all of their feedings. They are also eating 3 meals of solids per day. They have fruit for breakfast, yogurt or oatmeal for lunch, and vegetables or beans for dinner. They are also loving Cheerios, crackers, puffs, and baby mummums.
-They are sleeping in their crib at night and for all naps. They go down for the night at 7:00pm and don't wake up until 7:00am!! They are great night sleepers, which has been an incredible blessing for all of us! They are transitioning from 3 naps per day to 2 naps per day.


Random things we don't want to forget:
-Both girls are rolling everywhere!!! If one of us leaves the room for a minute, we often return to find them stuck in a corner on the other side of the room.
-Adelyn is very content to roll around on the floor and play with toys. She can scoot, wiggle, and roll her way to just about anything she wants. Emery is happy to roll for awhile, but she is definitely ready to crawl.
-Emery can sit completely unassisted for almost an entire playtime. Adelyn still lacks a little bit of balance, so we put the Boppy around her for support.
-Both girls LOVE Benton. They giggle and smile when he comes near them.
-Adelyn is still loving the jumperoo. Emery tolerates it most of the time, but she would prefer to be doing something else.
-The girls are teething. Emery has a new tooth this month (one top tooth). We expect a few teeth to come through this month.
-On February 26th, the girls were dedicated at church. Our family of five stood together at the front of the church. Such a special day!
-On March 18th, the girls went to the church nursery for the first time. They did great!!!!
