Eilee Leighton is EIGHT MONTHS OLD




We officially have an 8 month old baby girl today. Holy shit. Like, didn’t i just take the pregnancy test with her?! Wasn’t that 5 minutes ago?! Ugh. It’s a very conflicting emotion to watch your children grow. It’s exciting to see them learn so much and to see what their personalities are like but it’s sad that you’re losing so much time with them. It’s sad because i miss them being tiny. Mom life at it’s finest, bittersweet. Month seven was another great month of learning. Eilee is 18. 7 lbs and 29 1/2” tall. She can wave ‘bye-bye’ with her arm and her leg, shake her head and say ‘no no’, give kisses, clap her hands, she’s mastering a crawl, and we are working on sign language and blowing kisses. She now has 3 teeth and her 2 top middle teeth are also about to break through. She’s the friendliest and happiest baby on the planet. She will literally smile at anyone 100% of the time even if she’s sick. It’s the first thing that people say about her when they meet her, “She’s so happy!”. Her happiness is contagious. She loves to wrestle with her siblings and she’s definitely on the rough side when it comes to pets. She grabs them and doesn’t want to let go. She has the cutest squeal/cackle. It’s super loud and she does it constantly. She tells me ‘no’ when i put her into her car seat but she actually loves car rides. She just doesn’t like being strapped in, not that i blame her. She loves to stare out the back door at the cows and dogs. She has recently started baby led weaning with food and isn’t picky at all. She loves food but she also still loves her milkies. If you ask her where her milk is she pulls my shirt down/up and buries her head into my chest ha. She’s a true joy and we all love her dearly.
