Maya is 8 Months Old
Maya is 8 months old today! She's rapidly becoming a big girl and a toddler look is replacing her baby features. Lot's going on this past month. On gross motor skills, she finally mastered rolling and can really locomote to places and toys by flipping in succession. Yesterday she also sat up on her own at day care, but we have yet to see that at home. She's becoming stronger in her core and arms, and is lifting her torso upwards... in the next few weeks she'll probably start to crawl. On her playmat she rotates around to reach her toys in 360 degrees... her favorites are still her books and her colorful cups. She's also becoming a big squirmer on the changing pad so it is very difficult to change her while keeping her little feet out of dirty and stinky diapers!
She's communicating frequently by signing for "milk" (though we think she may confuse that with "mom"), and we're pretty sure she says "mamamama" when she wants me. She is opinionated and cries and screams with great drama when she doesn't get what she want... the tantrums are beginning (!), particularly around food that doesn't come fast enough, or her binky falling out at night. She's also making gutteral, growling noises, as well as shouts and squeals of delight (always when she sees bubbles at daycare). It's a heartwarming sight to see her look up from her play mat and give us a big smile when she sees us looking over at her. Oh, another thing she enjoyed was smelling my mint breath when I had a Riccola in my mouth-- funny sight to see her take a big inhale to get the smell, then laugh.
We're feeding her 3 solid meals a day, she loves apple. Unfortunately egg yolk and avocado seem to have caused bad reactions with her system, so we'll wait on those for a while. When she visited the doctor yesterday she ways 18 lbs 2 oz.
