EIGHT months old :(

A sweet little girl turns 8 months old today-at 4:14 pm.


I know baby girl, it's so sad isn't it?!

How is it, that in only FOUR months, my BABY is going to be ONE?? Anyone gotta answer for this madness?


Isabelle Grace, Bizzy, Issybelle, Gracie, Bug, ISAbeeellleeee-

As you can see, darling child, you have many many endearing names. We all love to call you something different. I call you Isabelle Grace when I'm trying to get your attention, Bizzy when we're being playful and Gracie when you're in "trouble". AK calls you Issybelle and ISAbeeellle with a southern twang...in which Daddy has picked up and calls you as well. What can we say, we LOVE you!!!

At 8 months old, you are approximately 19 lbs of baby goodness. You turn heads no matter where we are and you land us a good extra five minutes in any store due to your cuteness. People just HAVE to get up close and personal. And most times a little too close for momma's comfort.


You only have two teeth but are teething like CRAZY.

You are still nursing regularly and eat baby food very inconsistently. You rarely finish a whole jar in one sitting. You may not put away the baby food but you put away the Gerber Puffs and MumMums like nobodies business.

You get up on your knees and rock back and forth but mainly get where you want to go by rolling there. It's so cute :-).

You go to bed at 8 PM and are usually awake by 7 or 8. You take a morning nap at 10:30, and another nap around 3 or 4.

I've been letting you cry the past week or so when it's nap or bedtime and you've actually been doing okay with that. I nurse you and then lay you down in your own bed (because you fell off our bed the other day). Sometimes you cry for 20 minutes and sometimes it's just 2. Either way I think you like this method better because you roll over on your tummy and pass out. It's how you like to sleep now.


Every single day when Daddy walks in the door you shoot him the BIGGEST grin ever. It's so sweet.

You are such a content little girl. Lately your favorite thing to do is sit on the floor surrounded by toys. You could just sit for an hour straight-happy as can be.

You love bath time with your big sister. You like that you are in your big girl seat now and can sit up like her.

You finally have your own lovey. It's a fuzzy little blanket thing with a bunny head attached to the top. When we're laying down and you're nursing you usually always have it's ears in your little hands and you rub them between your finger and thumb or rub it on your eye. It's so precious.


You are growing so fast Isabelle Grace. When I look at you I can't believe it...you're really not eight months old are you?? Nooooo.

I love you so much little girl. Thank you for being such an amazing addition to our family. You belong right here with us. Nowhere else. I LOVE YOU!

Momma
