8 months old

Our little sweetie is turned 8 months old on February 22nd.  This is just mind blowing to me!  Slow down time!!

• She was starting to get a little more fussy and needy because she couldn't crawl and wanted to get to stuff.  A few days of daddy being home and helping and Carmen can now crawl!  She's doing so great!
• Carmen is now eating more people food.  She loves to munch on breads, biscuits, waffles, noodles, avocados, and even some veggies.  I love the finger food stage!  
• Carmen still eats at least a jar of baby food three times a day with oatmeal cereal in the evenings.  She eats all three meals when the family eats.  We love to all eat together as a family
• Carmen still loves to nurse.  I thought I was losing my supply after I got sick, but it came back and we're all good.  It's a good thing, because this picky little stinker is still so hit or miss with taking a bottle.  Sometimes she'll gobble it down and other times, she won't touch it!  Strange!
• Carmen still wakes up around 7:45 and I get her out of bed at 8am every morning.  She then nurses again around 11am, 2:30 pm ish, 5pm, and 7:30pm.  She naps in the mornings unless we're at the gym or church and once or twice in the afternoons.  A lot of days she'll nap from 1-3pm.  She's a great baby!
• She wears size 12 month clothes and size 4 diapers
• Carmen is absolutely infatuated with her big brother!  I love to see her laugh at him.  Roman loves to make her laugh. It's adorable!

We love you so much Carmen!!  You're such a sweet trooper that goes along with most situations.  You seem so much like your daddy!  What a great personality to have!
