eight months old

eight months ago today the sweetest, little thing that i ever laid eyes on came into my life! although looking at the time right now, i still was an hour away from getting to see my baby girl for the first time, seven hours after having her. since then, she has grown so much and is learning new things each and every day! my tiny princess is now weighing in at a whopping 15lbs and 1oz! up until a little bit over a week ago, she was strictly breastfed, so its always amazing to see just how much breast milk she is getting and how great it is for her. and speaking of eating and food, we finally started alessia on rice cereal on april ninth! she may be eight months old, but just turned her adjusted age of six months old on the tenth! she tolerated it really well and has been loving it each and every day! tomorrow we will be starting carrots, and then introducing a new solid/food every three days! it will be so fun to see how she does with them all, and what she takes a liking to the most! on top of that, she has been getting bigger and stronger by sitting up on her own more and more each day (she is at about 10 seconds or so before she falls to the side), moving herself in circles while on her tummy and trying to push herself forward, but with no luck! she just decides to give up and cry out for mama :) lol within the past month she has also celebrated her first easter, her first time sitting in a high chair both at home and in a restaurant and finding her voice (and how loud it can get!) more and more! i am so excited to see what the next month brings, and how much more she will grow and learn! happy eight months baby girl! <3
