Eight Months!

It's great to be eight...months old!

Arden turned eight months on November 3rd. She is getting so big.  Here are a few things Arden is up to lately:

• Arden, you are on the verge of crawling.  You love to be on the floor on your tummy and put yourself like that as soon as we set you down on your bottom.  You get on your hands and knees and rock often.  You are able to do the "Army crawl" pretty well now.  I think it will be anytime that you take off.
• You can clap your hands and do so all the time now.  You always smile when you are clapping.  We love it.
• You can feed yourself the puffs really well now.  You love puffs and we admit that sometimes we probably give you more than you need because you are just so content to sit and eat them.
• You can wave at people when they wave goodbye to you but you are not very consistent with it yet.
  
• Arden is wearing size 12 month clothes and a size 4 diaper.
• Arden is still taking a bottle/nursing five times a day - usually 5 ounces at each feeding.  She is also eating baby food three times a day now.
• Arden, not sure what is going on with your sleep right now but it is a little irregular.  Some nights are great but others you are up and down a lot.  I really think you sometimes have gas that bothers you but often just want to be held.  (We enjoy holding you....even if it is 2:30 in the morning!)
• Loren and Mommy (followed closely by Daddy) are still your favorite people Arden. 

Yummy, yum...puffs.  She figured out where they go when she drops them.

Sweet Aunt Meagan lent us this jumper and Arden LOVES it.
