Eight months old

At eight months old, Brynley:

• Eats cereal, spinach, peas, green beans, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, carrots, and apples
• Doesn't crawl per se, but she gets where she wants to go when she is on the floor by rolling and shuffling around on her belly
• Has had her first sickness. She had a fever & stuffy nose that started on Oct 17th. She did not act bothered by it at all; she was as cheerful as ever!
• Makes so many different faces: fishy face (see previous post) is adorable. She also tilts her head to the side and smiles
• Was sleeping through the night regularly earlier this month, but it's been a little rough since she got sick
• Gets mad when she has something in her hands and it is taken away.
• Gets into things she shouldn't! She loves the laptop cord and screams when we catch her grabbing it and take it away. She also likes cell phones and remote controls. Oh yeah, and her toys too.
• Says "Mamamamamama" and "Dadadadadada". I'm not sure if she means it, but sometimes it really does seem that way.
• Will crane her neck to see what other people are eating.
• Rolls all over the place now without a second thought - back to belly and belly to back
• Hates getting her nose wiped
• Reaches out to people to be picked up or hugged
