Lakyn is 8 months!


Thought the watermelon headband was fun with her polk-a-dots!  Thanks Jess Ohlde for a cute birthday favor!

Above is her famous tuck in the lips grin!


Pro at her sippy cup!

  Love, snuggles, and a bottle from big brother!


ADORE this picture---the girls have started taking baths together at night which has been awesome--they both love it and it is pretty easy on Layne and I as well--Lakyn is full of grins grabbing Sis's hair--but Brynn is loving bath time as well!

So what has Lakyn Marie been up to this month......

Eating a mixture of baby food--mainly just fruit and then chopped up people food--she loves noodles, grapes, and baked beans
This past month--Lakyn did a mixture of formula and my milk---I pumped that first week of school but my milk supply dropped and I decided to be done nursing--so used the rest of what I had saved and then switched over to using only formula--loved nursing her while I could--but glad I can still get bottle snuggles in too!

Layne made me do tough love with Lakyn the weekend before school started--the 1st night was hard--Layne had to hold me down not to go into her, but the 2nd night was better and the 3rd night she slept through the night---and that lasted about a week and then she got sick---Lakyn woke up with a fever a week after school started--so thankfully the grandmas were able to come and help us out and love on our little girl--Lakyn still had a fever on Friday--so Layne took her to the doctor--and she had spots in her throat with a virus going around and then on Sunday broke out in a rash--(she had a similar virus in May as well).  Anyways--just got her well and healthy from that and then 5 days later she puked twice in the middle of the night--GROSS!  Luckily it was short lived, but what a way to start off the school year!  

Then the past two weeks she has popped two teeth threw on the bottom--so she is back to waking up once and we are feeding her a bottle and putting her back to bed--she has also had nasty diapers and we did not want her to sleep in that......so you got to do what you got to do!

Hopefully that sleeping through the night thing will return soon!

Lakyn is babbling and talking lots---da-da, ba-ba, and yes, ma-ma (woo-hoo)
Plus she is also making popping noises with her mouth and lips that are fun!
She is SO close to crawling--she gets up ready to go but can't quite get it all together--she can push and roll herself about anywhere though and I never know where I will find her in her bed!

We still get many compliments on how happy she is--and when she is rested and fed--she is happy and will pretty much go to about anyone--at least for a bit!
Lakyn loves sitting and playing with her toys, reading books, and going for rides in her stroller!
