Her biggest news is that she started getting on her hands and knees at 8.5 months. She soon moved by sliding backwards and today she started crawling! O.k.... so she moved about a foot forward, but I'm taking it!
Today is the day of firsts! She also started saying "mama" today, and being the biased person I am, I think she may even mean me :) We've been working a lot on nursery games in the last few days, prompted by some tests that our overseas organisation gives us. Today she started playing "peek-a-boo" by holding her hands together and covering her eyes. It's sweet to watch.
I love watching Eliana and Lilah interact. The other day I put Lilah in her crib to play and later discovered that Eliana had climbed in to play with her. I hope they grow to be best friends.
Other things about Lilah:
She just started finger foods. It's a slow process! She puts cheerios in her mouth but squishes beans and peas between her fingers :)
She is mostly on formula. I'm thankful I'm able to breastfeed her a little before each feed, but she needs more food, so her main nutrition is from solids and bottles.
She takes two 1-2 hour naps a day (9am & 1pm) and is really ready for bed by 7pm :)
She started showing stranger anxiety at 8 months. Arms of friends that she was once happy in now make her cry.
She babbles a lot! On Sundays I've started standing at the back of church rocking her until she falls asleep so she doesn't distract others!
She is still a little giggle pot.
What a joy she is. We are so thankful to God for her health, her giggly, yet feisty personality, her little squishy cheeks and her big brown eyes. May the Lord make her His own through the salvation that comes only through Christ!
