8 Months Old

As of March 26th, spyBaby is .75 years old. Where has it all gone? I don’t know, probably the same place socks go once they’re in the dryer. But what can be done about it other than look back and say wow. That’s about all you can say. These days you have no idea what to expect from her. This past week it seems that her videos hold considerably less interest for her. She’d rather sit on the couch and play with some toy. Sometimes silent, sometimes ranting about who-knows-what. I swear the other night she made a sound that sounded like she was harmonizing. Slack-jawed I stared at her, I just couldn’t believe the sound I heard. I don’t think I would’ve been more surprised at the time if she had blurted out some word… it was a wonderful sound.

She’s still having trouble with that one tear duct, though it doesn’t seem to be quite as severe. Next week I think she has another appointment with the eye specialist and from that I hope we’ll be on the way to a solution.

Eat, eat, eat is what she loves to do. I mean it when I say love. She really wants to be eating whatever it is we’re eating and we oblige her for the most part.  She likes bread, pasta… well really anything we decide to give her. This one yogurt I eat occasionally must seem like complete ecstasy to her. When I give her some, she squeals with delight. I honestly think she’d eat the whole thing if I’d let her. As best as I can tell, we have her on a pretty steady schedule too. I’ve tried to work it so that she’ll be ready to eat about the time we sit down for dinner. That way everyone can eat together and I truly believe she gets a kick out of being at the table involved in some activity that us big folk are doing.

According to spyMommy and the Wii she is weighing about 19 pounds now. Earlier in the week I guessed it was somewhere around 20 to 22 pounds. Not a bad guess, but if it were a game show I would’ve lost. I might take a tape measure to her tomorrow and get an estimate on her length.

She’s a big girl… not fat, but long. She’s wearing 9 month clothes and those are getting small. She is also wearing some 12 month clothes that fit pretty well.

On Thursday she got her picture taken again. I have to say that these are probably the most darling yet. Those pictures ought to be up soon.

That’s all I can think of right now. Luckily for me, and everyone else, I am not the only contributor here. Until next time.
