Honestly, I cannot believe my girl is 8 months old. I don’t know why I can’t just let that be enough, but I have to take it to the next level, which is, she will be one in only 4 months. It really has gone fast. Guess it always does. So here is an update of Megan: She is fully on solids, 3 times a day. Still on #1 foods, but eats all of them. Alyssa did that too, so there is still time for my poor eating habits to rub off on Megan. She sleeps about 11-12 hours at night. When we are home, she takes 2 good naps a day – I seem to miss her naps more than I recall doing with Alyssa. She sits unsupported. She pushes up on her knees and even toes. She can belly scoot (slowly) to something she wants. I saw her yesterday get to her knees in the garden, then push up to her feet. She makes good noises when she has a cheerio in her mouth, but is quiet alot of time. She can say da-da. She can find her paci in bed at night and recently can throw her paci out. Now really, what is the point of that! She is great!

There are lots of new photos. Here are a few to show the things that go on in our house . . . daily.

TV watching

Some sister playtime

And some Alyssa playtime.

She is great on the computer. She has icons on the desktop that take her to PBSkids.org or Sesame Street. Then she has 3 CDs that she can switch out and play games on too. It is nice that she enjoys this and sees playing on the computer as great as watching TV. I feel less guilty about her using fine motor skills and actually thinking.

Sorry for the hiatus, hope you feel caught up (Melissa).
