happy 8 months Bennett!

Bennett is 8 months old!



She is now crawling ALL over the place and getting into EVERYTHING!
So, why did I think she'd sit still for me to take pictures, when the toys look so much more fun?!


Her new thing is pointing her finger at you, and laughing :)


She's pulling up on her crib...


and biting her crib--I went immediately and put the plastic teething guards on after this!


She is 18 pounds (40th percentile) and 29 inches (90th percentile--tall girl!) and has a little bitty head (25-30 percentile)...she is losing some of her cute baby rolls and that makes mommy sad!  She is eating lots more foods, and still prefers real foods as opposed to "baby" food.  I talked to her pediatrician about this, and she was all for Bennett eating "real" food, and we're staring meats this week--yummy!  

Still has the 2 teeth on bottom, and it looks like 2 more coming in on bottom.  The Dr. said we have a ways to go with the ones up top, though.  

Overall, Bennett is a healthy & happy baby!  We were referred to an  Ophthalmologist for her eyes at our last appointment this week.  Her eyes are very almond shaped and are also close together--and in pictures it always looks like one is turning in.  In person, you can't tell at all, but it's very noticeable in pics (see top pic??) --Usually its the left eye, but sometimes it looks like the right eye??!  She focuses with both and has full range of motion in both, but we're going to see the eye dr just to be sure!  Our pediatrician seems to think nothing is wrong, and its just the shape of her eyes and the illusion of pictures when they're not directly head on to both eyes but she (and I) felt like we needed the stamp of approval from the Ophthalmologist!  Luckily it's a minor thing even if she has some eye issues :)
