Reagan 8 months

Here is what Reagan is up to this month:

Sitting up very well.
Rolling more
Going after toys using her limited means of mobility
Two bottom teeth are in!
Had her first finger food, tofu (great protein, nice and soft!).
Babbling "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma"
Still sucking her thumb when we sooth her to sleep. I know it can be a tough habit to break but I think it is SO cute! Plus she rarely does it when she is awake so I don't know how attached she will get.

She is still pretty immobile for an 8 month old. Maybe she will take after her dad who never actually crawled (he scooted in the sitting position, weird yes) and did not walk until 17 months old. She is getting more interested in moving finally and will go after toys by rolling and pivoting.

She is not into solid foods the way Katya was but is doing okay. Eating 2-3 small meals a day, her favorite food is still oatmeal. After my latest, and one of the worst, bouts of mastitis I am ready to wean her from nursing. But I need to wait until my mastitis is cleared up. My midwife recommend taking a week or 2 to wean. She said with an 8 month old, I would be surprised how much milk I am actually making. It is so weird to now have to actively try to DECREASE my milk supply when I have fought so hard to keep it over these last 8 months. But I am confident in my decision to quit. I cannot keep getting sick like this.

Here are some pictures of our 8 month old!

Getting ready for an outting in the frigid temperatures.

Snow suit, Christmas gift from Uncle Don and Joan. Perfect for the cold day! Craig ran with the girls in the jogger and I rode my bike. And yes, it was COLD (but fun)!

Mama and baby.
