10 Months

I did this post at exactly ten months but my phone was having issues posting it! bah! then I got a new phone and the draft wasn't saved anywhere....so before I forget TOO much of what happened last month....Saylor at 10 months

m

.was an owl for Halloween and was so dang cute!
.finally went to new pediatrician here who said she was (as of October 16th) 21 pounds (95th%) and 29 inches (75th%) (I think...when I originally did this post I knew the percentiles, but now i'm second guessing myself and they may be reversed. but I think I wrote them correctly).
.full on walking. JUST before turning 10 months. she was crusing EVERYTHING the entire month and was working on her balance but still found crawling to be more efficient. then one day she was full on walking. and now we cant stop her! ahhh.
.says mama, dada, dog, and yum
.looooves grapes and bananas. especially grapes.
.clicks her tongue at you when she wants something you have, or more of what she was given. or if shes hungry.
.shakes her head no when chris sings "I shake my hair back and forth" and then laughs at you.
.can sign the word more.
.still enjoys gymnastics. she LOVES the parachute at the end of class.

we love her. each age is so fun!! I can't believe how fast this year is going. ahhh

.went to a well baby check up and is almost 19 pounds! She's 87th% for weight and 46th for height. Uh oh haha

.is officially sleeping in her own bed all night AND putting herself down for naps during the day. Sharing a room bc of living circumstance has made sleep training hard, but boy are we so glad we made it happen. Sleep=bliss! 

.loooves my siblings. Screeches in the hallways at school when we go to pick them up

.has her 3rd cold :/ boo! Living with elementary school kids/putting all things in your mouth means lots of yummy germs

.went to the beach for the FIRST time and loved it! Rodeo beach in San Francisco 

.visited muir woods 

.started a little gymnastics class once a week and seems to like it so far

.is in 6th month clothing 

.walks very speedily when she is pushing something. She is soooo close! 

.dances anytime music comes on

We love her so much! She is so much fun to have around and has such personality!  Can't believe in 3 short months she will be 1!!! Where does the time go? 

8 months

Saylor is SO fun!! 

This month has been especially crazy! We were on the go almost every weekend! Hmm might be why she hates her carseat ;)

Saylor at 8 months:

.right around 18 pounds and in 6 month clothes

.crawling, cruising, standing, pulling up on, and balancing. She does it all! And fast! She is getting brave these days and lets go of tables and couches and is able to stay standing solo for 5-10 seconds at a time! 

.went to hot August nights in Tahoe AND Reno

.went to her first amusement park and did NOT eat any snow cone. Nope. ;)

.gets deliriously silly at about 6 every night and crawls crazily on the couch while we all chase her and play peek a Boo. She loves it and laughs hysterically.

.is starting to dance when she hears music

.is pulling bows out of her hair :/ it's started. Sad day for mama

.says mama every now and again

.has only 2 teeth with another about to pop through 

.likes to eat real food. She loves fresh white peaches and LOVE LOVES pluots. She gets a goofy grin with each bite. She's also tried pork, potatoes, pasta salad (but definitely NOT any ice cream) and was a big fan of each.

She's the best. Most days Chris and I look at each other and think "how did we get so lucky?!" Yay for happy healthy growing babies! 

7 months

How?! Before I know it she will be all grown up! Ahh! Make it slow down! 

This past month was a fun one. 

At 7 months Saylor is:

.17 pounds. And had 6 month shots that were pretty awful. Good thing she's so smiley 

.celebrated her first 4th of July! Mesmerized by the fireworks and not even scared of the noise they make

.took her first trip to Montana to great grandmas house. We visited glacier park,dipped our toes in mamas favorite Montana lakes, flathead lake and lake McDonald, and played with the pony and chickens in the backyard 

.is pulling herself up on everything. She has bypassed crawling on all fours and instead does a speedy army crawl and then stands whenever and wherever possible. She'll walk early like mama...eek!

.still an ok/pretty good sleeper and horrible napper :]

.took her 3rd round trip airplane ride. This babe is a pro at flying.

.was spoiled by grandma and had a little taste of cake (and other unmentionable treats ;)

Miss Saylor Rae...you're the best!! 

6 months!

Oh my how time is flying by! 6 whole months with this little love! Lots has happened this past month! 

Saylor at 6 months:

.sitting up alone!! Such a big girl

.army crawls like a champ. I would bet in the next week or 2 she'll be full on crawling. Eeks!

.has had her first stomach bug and cold :/ he ended up in urgent care after a day of throwing up. Poor thing

We love her to pieces. Crazy that in another 6 months we'll have a ONE year old! It's no joke when people say it goes quickly! Each new stage and skill is so fun. Love our little baby sails! 

5 months

I can't believe this little love is 5 months already! I say that every month but time is just going so fast! Saylor is at such a fun age! 

At five months Saylor is:

.soooo smiley. I think she might just be the happiest little babe. She has her moments but for the most part she is so happy

.loves food. If we are out she is going for my plate/cup and if we are eating around her she stares you down. So far she hates cereal, oatmeal, and peaches and loves sweet potatoes, squash, and avocado. 

.blows the cutest little raspberries. If you blow at her she responds and blows back. Pretty cute

.doesn't sleep that great still but is getting better 

.is rolling over but still refuses to go from tummy to back! 

.is so talkative.
