eIGHT mONTHS oLD!

hAPPY 8 mONTH bIRTHDAY lITTLE bIRDIE! Sweet Molly Reed...

Every day I think you get a little bit sweeter! You are in the middle of a terrible ear infection right now that has been hanging around for two weeks now...we are on the second round of antibiotics and you still have a sweet little smile on your face and barely make a noise! The other night you did have a terrible fit in the middle of the night which woke the whole family up...we were all 4 just staring at you.... I think we were so shocked to hear you like that! You are always so sweet and mild mannered! When we went to see the doctor Jack said "be sure and tell him about that loud thing in the middle of the night the other night!!!" Little does he know that him and his brother kept us up plenty of nights like that when they were babies!!!

We celebrated your 8 month birthday today with a trip to Pop's with MiMi! You tasted tomatoes, grilled cheese sandwich, and I think MiMi might have snuck in a french fry!!!

{at 8 months old you are...}

*you love to eat! You are a great little eater!!!

*you love your daddy!!! you light up when he gets home from work and get your little feelings hurt if he doesn't come right over to love on you!

*you wear size 4 diapers

*you weigh 20 pounds!

*you still wear 12-18 month clothes

* you aren't crawling yet...but you are reaching for toys while sitting and can go from sitting to tummy pretty well...

*you sleep pretty good right now...you remind me more of Jack's sleep patterns than Sammy's....you sleep a really long stretch and do better if you go down close to 8:00 and then you wake anywhere from 4-6 and eat really quick and go back down until about 8:00!!! It is a great schedule!!! Jack did sleep 8-8 a lot earlier than this but this is the little schedule he was on for a long time!

*you love your brothers and Jack thinks you said "bu-bah" the other day!! it is really cute because he was SOOO excited!!! and the more you "thought" we could understand you the more you would say it!

* you say something that sounds like "ninny" all the time...MiMi is convinced that you are saying her name!!!

*you have taken 3 little road trips now and you are a great little traveler! You aren't crazy about your car seat for long periods of time or if the car is still...so I am always worried it's going to be bad...but you have done great!!! {bartlesville, lake texoma, and dallas...and we are going on our first ever mommy/daughter shopping trip to dallas this weekend with mimi and gigi!!! I am SOOO excited!!!!}

*you are the most loved little girl!
