Tatum turned 8 months old last Thursday and I must say that I love this age.she has developed such a silly personality.she's always cracking us up.



At 8 months you:

.weigh 18.5 lbs
.wear 6 & 9 month clothes
.you can't wear any boots.the top of your feet are chubby bc your feet are so small so everything is tight
.you eat 4 6-8 oz bottles
.you get baby food once a day and love it.you've had sweet taters,squash,peas,green beans
.you wear size 3 diaper
.you still have no desire to crawl
.you talk!you say mama,bye bye,& can wave bye
.you have your 2 front bottom teeth.the first tooth didn't bother you but the 2nd made you a little fussy
.you growl at everything & everyone
.you are super ornery!
.you sleep from 8-7
.you love to bounce.you bounce yourself all the time

Fever

thats right.ive got the fever.baby fever.even with a sick 7 month old.ive got the fever.this comes from time to time.i don't get it that often.although the last few weeks ive been thinkin if we had a surprise pregnancy, i wouldn't panic but rejoice.no we are not trying.yes it'd be a miracle from above if we got pregnant in this current stage of life.but id still be happy if it happened.i joked with my husband a few months ago that I had the fever.he was surprised it took me that long.gotta love him.i'll leave you with a pic of my favorite baby

I wish

We would've videoed tatum's birth.we threw around the idea but didn't know if we should since it would be my first time giving birth and wanting to have her natural.right after she was born I wished we videoed the whole experience.that day is still crystal clear in my mind but every now and then I have a desire to relive her birth day.if we knew the outcome of that day we would've recorded everything.call me crazy but somedays I miss the pain and discomfort of tatum's birth.she was such an easy baby to labor and deliver.ugh if only I had it on tape.childbirth is so incredible.im in awe of Gods grace over us that day.im so glad he made me a woman.he blessed me with the gift to conceive and carry a baby.to experience a fetus being formed into a child in my womb.to feel what Mary felt giving birth in a stable.I pray if we are blessed with more children that I will be able to have them natural.and we will get it on tape.(but not the gross stuff:)
