My 8-Month-Old
29 June 2010:
Here's a quick update on my baby Emily. She is 8 1/2 months old now and I've observed the following:
- Hates being left alone. Can't be left alone and will cry her head off the moment I (or her daddy) walk away.
- Still cries before going to bed but for only about 5 minutes or less. Doesn't cry as loud now.
- Doesn't use a tub for bath time now (although MIL still uses it). Instead, when I bathe her, she sits on a stool and we use the shower. Doesn't like it when I shower her hair.
- Eats lunch and dinner. Can handle small pieces of fish and meat. Can also handle whole pieces of fruits.
- Understands no. Sometimes cries when we say no to something that she wants.
- Able to climb out of her carrier car seat, if not strapped on.
- Able to climb up the stairs.
- Might start to walk before she hits 1.
- Anxious about strangers. Will cry when strangers stick their faces into her pram. Can somehow able to differentiate friends of her parents and will allow them to hold her.
- Doesn't suck her thumb anymore. Uses a pacifier instead.
