8 Months

Mia turned 8 months old while we were in St. Louis.  She wore her patriotic dress for her photo shoot, but didn't sit still long because she'd rather be crawling!

At 8 months, Mia:

• weighs about 16.5 lbs and wears sizes 6-9m and 9m clothing.
• drinks 4 6oz bottles of formula a day and eats two meals of solid foods.
• is much more interested in feeding herself than in whatever we spoon-feed her.  So far she's tried pancakes, donuts, breads, peaches, strawberries, cantaloupe, and avocado.
• is getting very fast at the army crawl, but still uses rolling as her fastest method of travel.
• babbles all the time and mostly says "mama,"  although I don't think she knows what it means yet.
