Florence's 8 Month Update

Dear Florence, 

Wow what a whirl wind the last 2 months have been. We all went on a family mini-break in somewhere near Oxford, where we stayed in a really cute little cabin on a farm and you were such a good little girl! We all ended up sleeping in the biggest bed ever most nights, which was so lovely for your dada and I, getting to have cuddles with you and your brother. Shortly after our little holiday, I then had to leave both you and your brother for a whole week, which was so hard but it was all for the family!! I am starting a new job, which I think will give us the best work/family balance, and had to go on a training course for it. When I came back, I heard all about how you were so good for your Dada, Yaya and Grandma. 
Straight afterwards, we got to go on another holiday to Spain too! You absolutely loved the beach but you ate so much sand that you were pooing it for days, haha!!! 

Milestones

We have missed a few months of updates, but you are now crawling, pulling yourself up and down and you have 6 teeth. 

One of your favourite new things to do is scream at such a high pitch! Every time you do it, Jackson turns to you and says 'wow', which cracks me up!! You also say 'bubu' and apparently 'mama', although I haven't managed to hear it in real life yet - Dada's got a video of it. 

We mainly do baby-led weaning, as you just don't seem to like spoons!! You love toast, grapes and peas. Occasionally, I can get you to eat porridge but some days you're too independent for a spoon. 

You have really started playing with toys too and you love when we get the ball pit out. But you also really enjoy playing with the dog toys, which isn't so good!! I have to make sure that they are out of reach all the time! 

Routine

7:30am - Wake up and boob
8:30am - Breakfast - Toast and banana

You generally sleep through the night, although sometimes, at about 11pm, you wake for your dummy.

Weight

You weighed 16lbs 2.5 oz at the last weigh-in. You did really well this month, jumping up to nearly the 25% line. You are pretty much completely in 6-9 months clothes. 

Love you so much and I love seeing you grow into your own personality!
