Audrey was 8 months old on November 11th - Remembrance Day & Veterans' Day. I can't believe it. She is still growing & changing at an amazing rate. She weighs about 16 pounds now, and is over 24 inches - I'm not sure exactly how long, but I know she's longer than that.
Audrey is starting to enjoy solid foods more, but still isn't very interested in rice cereal. She is a big fan of green beans though, she loves them! I actually had to make her stop eating them last night because I was worried she was going to eat too much of them and get sick! She also likes sweet potatoes, and seems to think squash is okay too. I think we may start adding vegetables to her rice cereal and see if she likes that combination better. Although she is eating, she only eats a small amount once a day and still gets the vast majority of her intake from breast milk supplemented with formula. I think we will transition to two "meals" a day this weekend and see how she likes that. Oh, and she loves to drink water out of a glass!
Audrey is also rapidly getting more mobile. I think it's time to seriously consider babyproofing. This week she started being able to stand holding onto a coffee table for quite a long period of time without any other support - several times for far more than 30 seconds. She also got completely up on her hands and knees today for the first time and rocked back & forth a little. It was pretty exciting! She really moves around on the floor alot already, she just doesn't always go in the direction she wants. I'm sure she'll have it figured out in no time though!
We've had some really nice weekends with beautiful weather lately. We were able to spend some time with our friends and take lots of pictures, so here you go:
Audrey with Kyle
At Audrey's favorite restaurant in Louisville - El Mundo. She's been coming here since before she was born!
Audrey with Monica
Now that Audrey's 8 months old we thought she should start learning some new basic skills. Like driving.
Audrey with her good friend Wilder - he'll be 1 year old in a couple of weeks.
Audrey with Monica & Kyle - out for brunch in Nashville.
And here are a couple of videos for fun too:
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Audrey has such a beautiful smile, almost as nice as her mommy's:) I love your expression in the 1st photo Sandy, you look very surprised and happy at the same time. Thanks for updating the blog. I can't believe I get to see you in less than 2 weeks. Looks like Chrystal will have the Thanksgiving weekend off also. Adele is really looking forward to playing with baby Audrey and so am I. Love you!
