Ok so I don't even know where to start with this little girl. She just turned 8 months yesterday and she's growing so fast! These past couple weeks Makayla has really been trying to walk, and just this week every day she has been able to take a step here and there all on her own. Today she even took 2 steps!! She has been so fun and active and its so exciting watcher her master each new thing she does.
Not only is she almost walking which that by itself it crazy, but she has one little tooth now. It broke through a few weeks ago, so we've been free of the teething monster, but...Just the past couple of days she's back to teething. =( I actually had to stop nursing cuz she was biting me with that one tooth, and I couldn't imagine the damage she would do when she gets more. I'm not sure the risk would be worth it, so even though I wasn't ready to stop it had to be done. I do still want to nurse more kids in my future. =) Also Makayla has become obsessed with eating her little Gerber Puffs and Mum Mums. They have seriously been life savers when she's upset when we're out.
My sister and my dad came to visit Rob and I this weekend and it was loads of fun. She is still shy when she's around different people, but she warmed up to them really quick.
Another thing that's new is she is now FINALLY sleeping through the night. We had to take drastic measures, but after 2 nights she learned to fall asleep on her own and she can self sooth herself when she wakes up at night.
Last but not least today while I was feeding her breakfast out of no where she said MAMMA!!! It was so clear like she has said it a billion times. I have been trying to get her to say it for so long and all she does is smile, so when she said it I was so ecstatic! It was the greatest feeling in the world to have my little girl call me momma, I'm such a cornball, but I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it. She hasn't said it since this morning, but I know its coming soon. All the sleepless night and tears I've cried over the stress or the sadness I feel when she's sick and there is nothing I can do, being a parent is the greatest blessing. We love our baby so much
