Braelyn 8mos

Braelyn is growing so fast, according to our scale she is 13.4 lbs. She is really good at sitting up and has a cute little dance where she gets her shoulders going. She loves to do everything with her thumbs, when she feels anything it's with her thumb. She has started to do fives and sometimes acts like she is clapping. She still loves to hold or pull my hair when she nurses or sleeps. She has started to say mama and better at being on her belly. I don't think it will be long before she tries to crawl, and she loves to hold your hand to stand. It has been about three weeks now since I put the girls in there room together, they are pretty good now but it was a rough first week. Braelyn still wants to get up a few times a night and we are trying to let her cry a few min back to sleep. Braelyn is in 3 mo onesies and 6-9 mos clothes. Still no teeth but I think there is one on it's way. She loves her baby food and is so funny to watch eat.

New Years and Snow Day
