Linden Estelle turned eight months old today. I can’t believe how fast time is flying. To ensure I remember all these special moments I will be taking a “birthday” picture every month for her first 24 months as well as charting her developments.

Summary of Linden’s development this past month:

• Will drink from a sippy cup or glass when prompted
• Has officially started to crawl although her crawl is modified
• Will take a few steps holding onto furniture
• Will clap her hands together when asked
• She loves to respond to music with body motion
• Will now cooperate when being dressed by pushing her arm into her sleeve
• Has started to learn that people and things exist even when she can’t see them (object permanence)
• Is still breastfeeding during the evenings and weekends
• Has a total of four teeth

In the last month Linden has eaten the following organic solids: Broccoli, Peaches, Strawberries, Cauliflower, Sweet Potatoes, Apples, Peas, Butternut Squash, Avocado, Banana, Brown Rice Cereal. She is also a big fan Apple Happy Baby Organic Puffs.

The Outtakes:

I love to clap my hands.

I am a happy baby.

Why would you want to crawl when you can learn to walk?

And at the moment I am easily distracted.

Did I mention I was teething? Thank goodness for Camilia.
