Vivian is 8 months old today :)
-I noticed a tooth coming in yesterday. This time I am sure! I can see it and feel it. It hasn't caused too much of a problem for her (although it could be why her naps have been a little short the last couple of days)
-We have pretty much dropped the 3rd late afternoon nap. However, if she wakes too early from her 2nd nap, I can guess that it will be too much of a stretch for her to wait until bedtime at 7, so she will take the 3rd nap. But lately she hasn't needed to.
-She really likes "If you're happy and you know it" in Spanish, and "The Wheels on the Bus" in English. She squeals when we sing these.
-Sometimes if I pucker my lips right in front of her face and ask for a kiss, she'll give me one! She puts both of her hands on my cheeks and brings her mouth to mine, wide open :)
-She has mastered the pincer grasp when it comes to picking up Puffs and putting them in her mouth. I just introduced Puffs recently as an afternoon snack and she loves them.
-If she wakes up too early in the morning, I can still go back to sleep because I can count on her to just play in her crib for a good 30 minutes, sometimes without making a peep! I'm thinking about putting a stuffed animal in there so she'll have something to play with when she wakes up.
-She's making all kinds of different sounds now. Not so much consonant sounds yet, though. She has recently learned to blow raspberries (I think that's what you call it?) with her tongue. Basically to me it's spitting...yikes.
-Not crawling yet, but she can pretty much maneuver around a room just by pushing backwards and turning.
-We think she is a sweetheart!
