8 Months

On her feet trying to push herself forward

**Weighs almost 15 pounds

**Nurses 6-7 times a day

**Wakes up 2 times a night to nurse (sometimes only once....I keep hoping that will stick)

**Has 2 teeth

**Can get to all fours and rock....has taken one crawl forward but mostly ends up going backward and getting really frustrated. She has resorted to getting up on her feet to try to push herself forward and still can't get there.  But she moves all over a room in her own fashion.  From seated to rolling, etc.  

**Will sit up in her crib now and wait for me

**She has completely given up on solid food.  Admittedly, this has me baffled.  I've never had a baby do this, but she just flat out refuses to eat 90% of the time.  If she cracks a smile and I slip a spoon in, she'll keep her lips tightly closed and refuse to do it again.  No food.  At all.  I broke down and started to slip some cereal/fruits/veggies into her milk in a sippy cup.  At least that way she'll get an ounce or so.

**We finally found a sippy cup that she just loves.  There was no learning curve for the hard spout sippy.  I take the sippy out and pour it into her mouth and she will drink it.  So, at least there's that.

**She has the sweetest little voice ever.  She loves to giggle and shriek and her favorite phrase is "Ah roooo" or "Ah boo".  I have started calling her My Roo.

**She can support her full weight on her legs but still needs quite a bit of work on the balance part.

**She loves toys and will pass one back and forth between her hands.

**She fully enjoys her role as "Princess Bree."
