Quinn Grace: 8 months.

Quinn is eight months old! It's so hard to believe that our sweet little babe, who to me, seems like she was just born yesterday, is already 8 months old. She seems so grown up. She's sitting up, eating real food, "talking" back to us, and interacting so much.

I haven't done monthly updates on the blog, which looking back, I so wish I had! But it's never too late. Cheers to my 8-month old babe.

Size: We don't have an 8 month checkup, but I going to assume she is around 20 pounds. At her 6 month, she was 18 pounds and since then, she's been eating real food. So let's just guess, 20 pounds. She is wearing 9 month clothes and is almost outgrowing those!

Likes:

• Sweet potato, eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken, peanut butter, salmon, squash, mac and cheese, blueberries, and puffs. (And pretty much any other food)
• Lola and Henry
• Playing the "AH" game with Dada. He says AH and she yells it back. They go back and forth playing this game forever
• Napping - gf loves a good morning nap
• Sitting at restaurants in the high chair 
• Waiving at everyone
• Saying mama and dada
• Any and all music
• Her play piano
• The bath
• Her bouncer and her Joovy Spoon walker 
• Her stuffed animals, Roger the rabbit, Betty the bunny, and Mr. Bear
• Every single book, but especially the touch and feel books. (Never Touch a Shark)

I honestly feel so emotional when I think about Quinn and how sweet, loving and absolutely wonderful she is. I am feeling so incredible grateful that I am blessed to be her mama. Here's to 8 months little Q.
