Had a nice 4 day weekend! Carlo actually got Friday off and we had plans to have a date day to ourselves since we have daycare for Mya, but she actually ended up being REALLY sick that day, so we had to scrap those plans and take care of the bb. We actually didn't have anything concrete planned, so we weren't too bummed out. Either way, the baby needed us. Poor thing! Her first time with really bad congestion. Thankfully, she's still a pretty happy baby when she's sick (for the most part) - but is just more lethargic. We're really blessed to have such a happy and easygoing baby. I think we still ended up going out on all 4 days even though she was sick, but we kept it minimal and indoors for the days she was really miserable. We ended up discovering that she's a pretty easygoing and adaptable baby, in terms of going out! Usually our outings and short and sweet to make it home to her naps, this was the first time one of our outings lasted 3 hours! SAT: Ha

SO much personality now at 8 months. More active than ever! Started daycare LOVES stroller rides Transitioned to using bottles 100% of the time - doesn't breastfeed anymore :( - b/c 1) daycare (where they have to use bottles to feed her) and 2) she stopped being interested in breastfeeding a little after she turned 7 months, mostly b/c I think FOMO.. she got more interested in looking around her / playing rather than just facing my boob and eating lol BA BA BA was her favorite phrase for a good week.. now babbling and using various consonants and vowel sounds. Sometimes uses a raspy voice but then other times has a cute sing-songy voice lol, I wonder when she decides to use which.. Loves being talked to and playing peekaboo Smiles especially more when dad is around! Apparently mama is no fun! Can now sit unassisted - was pretty rocky at the beginning of the month and now doesn't need any help! Literally EVERYTHING is super interesting to her and she wants to grab it!
