8 Months PP

It's been 8 months since this little darling came along. She has been such a joy and wonderful addition to our family. And I am so thankful that she has come along! In truth, I am sitting down to finish this post on the 16th of October. Ye, I don't even remember what happened between 7 and 8 months. Too much!

Month:8

Babies Weight: 20.08 lbs

Babies Length:28" (I need to double check that when she's up)

Babies Habits: I finally successfully dropped the 5th feeding and now we are down to 4! Yippee! She has basically the same napping schedule and I feed her at 6:30, 11, 3 and then 7 - 7:30 and bedtime. 

Nursing: She keeps cracking me!!!! GAHH! I am so over it! It's because she grabs on then yanks her head back as far as she can go and chomps away. Little twit.

Milestones: She is sitting up really well now and hardly ever falls over. She is making moves to crawl, but nothing major yet. She likes to lean over as far as possible and then when she over balances and flops on her belly, she yells in irritation.

Older Kids: The war is on with these two. Especially Emma. She is in a very intense threenager stage at the moment and I just can't wait for it to be over. And then Jack. Wow. He's a wonderful kid, but if I have wanted to throttle him for completely ignoring my voice over and over and over again. Lord, HELP! But they are also fun and still interesting and wonderful kids. I just have to lift my head up from the grind and remember the big picture.

My Weight: 
1 Month PP: 157
2 Months PP: 159
3 Months PP: 157
4 Months PP: 156
5 Months PP: 154
6 Months PP: 152
7 Months PP: 149
8 Months PP:147

Exercise: Really, really good. I haven't managed to get to 6 days a week, but I don't feel bad, because I am still a mom with really little kids and I have stuff that I have to do. Five days is doing well and I'm losing the weight. Slowly, but I am losing it.  I love Crossfit! It works! I have not been running because it's too cold and I'm too busy most days at HGC. But I brought my jump rope up to work and have been doing travel WOD's and that's been good. I would like to get a ball, but I don't think I'll need to do that for long. Julie is going to start being on CC in the next three months, so no need to make long term arrangements for working out up there.

Eating: Still not great, but one day it will be. :) 

My Measurements:

1 Months PP: Hips: 41 Thighs: 21.25 Belly: 35.5 Waist: 32 Chest: 37

2 Months PP: Hips: 41 Thighs: 21.25 Upper Thigh:23.5 Belly: 35.5 Waist: 31 Chest: 37.5

3 Months PP: Hips: 41 Thighs: 21.50 Upper Thigh: 24 Belly: 34 Waist: 31 Chest: 37

4 Months PP: Hips:41 Thighs: 22 Upper Thigh: 24 Belly:33 Waist: 30 Chest: 37

5 Months PP: Hips:40.5 Thighs:21 Upper Thighs:23.5 Belly:33 Waist: 30.5 Chest:37

6 Months PP: Hips: 39.5 Thighs: 21 Upper Thighs: 23 Belly: 33 Waist: 30 Chest: 37

7 Months PP: Hips: 39 Thighs: 21.5 Upper Thighs: 23.25 Belly: 32.5 Waist: 29.5 Chest: 36

8 Months PP: Hips: 38.5 Thighs: 21.5 Upper Thighs: 23.25 Belly: 31 Waist: 29 Chest: 

Things of Interest: We're trying to encourage Jackson to use his very lively imagination and so I put together an "Inventor's Box" and gave him all kinds of junk and tape, and miscellaneous items to create things with. I won't to get him a book and more stuff, but it's a start. The only trouble is, are the huge messes the building of the inventions creates. I try not to think about it too much, but wow. So tired of the constant cleaning up!

Pics:

So there were so many cute ones of her, that I couldn't just post one or two. I know. Too much. But, hell, it's my blog and I can do what I want on it!
