8 months already!

I can't believe Tacy is already 8 months old!  I started my OB/Peds clinicals, so last week I followed the Transition nurse and got to go in on 4 deliveries (2 c-sections and 2 vaginal) and hold 3 babies as we assessed them.  It was fun and newborns are so cute.  One baby only weighed 9 pounds less than Tacy did at birth and I kept looking at him and wondering how Tacy had gotten so big!  No worries though, as cute as babies are, we are not going to be having another for a while cause Tacy is enough.

Tacy loves to play the real piano now.  She has learned how hard she needs to hit the keys to make noise.  She loves pounding on tables so pounding on the piano is also very fun.  Brad recorded her playing yesterday and she even started talking/singing while playing.  The movie is on Facebook if you haven't seen it yet.

Tacy has learned how to worm her way out of our laps the past week.  She arches her back and slides down to the ground.  It is funny to watch when someone is trying to hold her and she twists, turns, and wiggles her way out.  It's bad though when we are trying to buckle her in her car seat or let her lay in her swing and she can just about wiggle her way out of them.

Tacy is getting better at standing balanced.  She pulls herself up to stand when she is playing the little piano (which has bars to grab to pull herself up), but that's it.  As for tummy time, she still only rotates around in a circle or will roll occasionally to get to something.  No crawling.  She will stick out her belly and rock back and forth on it, reminding me of a see-saw.  It's funny to watch and I guess good since we are not ready for  mobile child yet.

Tacy is now wearing 9 month clothes!  The onsies are a little big and some of the pants are huge, but for the most part they fit her okay.  6 months still work but they fit her perfect, so we knew it was time to get out the bigger stuff.  Tacy has been eating 6-8 ounces before she goes to sleep at night and all last week she would wake up 2-3 times in the night because she was hungry.  She is now back to sleeping through the night thank goodness.  I will try to weigh and measure her soon to see how much she has grown.
