8 Months

Charlotte is 8 months old!  She is living up to her nickname, Superchunk, weighing in at 18 pounds and just under 27 inches.  That's between the 25th and 50th percentiles in case you were wondering.  This girl loves to eat - cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, avocado, banana, pears, peas, rutabega, blueberries, squash, apples, black beans, spinach, turkey, chicken and combinations of any of the preceding foods.  The only things she has refused so far are greens with brown rice and turnips.  She also eats these crackers called Baby Mum Mums that look like surfboards and taste like rice cakes.

Working on a Mum Mum

Our girl is doing all kinds of grown up things now.  She has been sleeping through the night for a while.   She will usually sleep from about 7 pm to 6 am.  It is so awesome!   We are a well-rested family now!   She can sit for a little while before she wobbles over.  She can roll over, but I can't tell if she is doing it on purpose.  Charlotte is such a laid back, happy baby and she doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get anywhere.  She is happy to lay on a blanket with her Indestructibles books.   She also enjoys playing with scarves by waving them around and lifting them in front of her face.  Then she removes the scarf and gives you a big grin.  Charlotte also enjoys being outside, going for walks, listening to music and babbling.
