Lillian at EIGHT months

I am late with this month, but Lillian turned EIGHT months on June 16th. My my my....this child just gets better and better. She is now crawling all over the place and starting to pull up. Sweet angel has bruises on her knees from all her mobility. You can't keep her still these days. All the while smiling with that sweet baby grin.

Lillian Lindley at EIGHT months:
- Wearing 9 and 12 month clothing. Some of the 12 month things are still long and some aren't. Sissy is long waisted like her mommy. Still size 2 diapers but we might be getting close to size 3.
- Still nursing 4-5 times a day. She is still good with nursing but doesn't love to comfort nurse. She is a get-in and get-out type of girl.  Hudson was the same way. I have a feeling when its time to wean at a year, she will be ok with it. Sister loves to eat her some solids, though. She is a bottomless pit. We just added lunch to the mix and she is so excited. She also started puffs and loves those too. I'm thinking around 9 months we will start giving her mashed up food and start the transition to real food. She really will eat anything I put in front of her. I am still making all her food and we've done some new things: blueberries, butternut squash, mango. I plan to try plum and cottage cheese this week.
- Sissy is officially unswaddled and now sleeps in the muslin sleep sack. It took a few days, but she has finally found her footing with it. Naps have gotten better, too. She is now able to just roll around and get settled how she wants to. The angel monitor has been going off recently because she loves to get at the corners. Hudson did the same thing.
- Crawling everywhere. In the last week or two, you really can't take your eyes off her or she will literally be in the next room doing who knows what...and putting who knows what in her mouth. When she crawls, she does this hip hike things with her right leg. Its so cute! She is also pulling up on us, and starting to pull up on the couch. Trying in any every way possible to keep up with brother.
- She isn't really loving any toys right now because she's just too worried about being on the move. She does like things that light up and she loves to chew on my phone. We can contain her in the exersaucer for about 10-15 minutes before she demands to get out.
- Really loves to play and interact with Hudson. He does this thing where he sticks his head in her lap and pulls his hair. If she's upset, he will do it. Bless him.
- Sister has a voice on her. She will tell you real quickly if she doesn't like something. Or if you can't get food in her mouth fast enough. And she's started this high pitch squeal over everything....kind of like something is wrong, but it will be over not having anymore puffs.
- Such a sweet spirit. She has her inpatient sides, but is really go with the flow. 
- Her hair is getting longer and the mohawk is in full force. I don't love putting bows in her hair, but I do on occasion.
- If I'm around and some one else is holding her, she starts grunting and whiny for me. She loves her mommy!
 Lillian, we love you so much. You wake up smiling and go to bed smiling. Such a joy to be around. And you really really love your brother. It makes me happy cry watching ya'll interact and play together! If every baby was like you, we'd be the Duggar family because I'd want 19 children just like you! Thank you for loving us! And thank you Jesus for giving us such a sweet, angel baby!
