Happy 8 Months!

Copper Jo Jo turned 8 months old today! She's getting so big and even cuter every day. I didn't do a 7 month post because not much had changed since 6 months. Really, not much has changed still. She's getting bigger and her coordination and motor skills are getting more refined, but she hasn't necessarily started anything "new." Well, almost nothing. Shortly after I took this picture she rolled onto her back, which she's only done a few times and then rolled back onto her stomach for the FIRST time!! Yah Copper! Momma was so proud. The kid still hates tummy time or laying down at all for that matter. She sits up like a champion and appears to feel that laying down is for sleepy time, not playtime. Since her tummy time tolerance is very low, she has made zero progress towards learning to crawl. My mom is convinced that she may be one of those crazy kids that learns to walk first. She just may be right. Copper also has a bit of first child syndrome and therefor gets carried everywhere and has pretty much constant attention. A perk for coming to work with me to Grandma and Grandpa's house. She still hasn't started teething. Which is fine by me. The past month or so, I've had to start feeding her in seclusion because she gets super distracted by noises and talking. No more feeding her in front of the TV at night and then carrying her up to bed. I now have to feed her in her own room. I did get a little reading light so it's not so bad anymore. I'm flying through books since I can't talk to people anymore during feedings.

So, to sum up 8 months:

-No crawling

-No teeth

Hobbies include:

-Laughing hysterically while hitting us in the face or head or touching our noses and mouths

-Grabbing everything within reach and displacing it

-Drinking (sort of) with a sippy cup

-Sleeping through the entire night like a champ

-Rarely falling over while sitting

-Pooping large solid turds

-Making mommy and daddy the happiest parents ever!
