8 months

Oh where oh where has my little babe gone...

Alomae is becoming a BIG girl and I must admit, I am grieving a little bit that my tiny baby is gone...She is 8 1/2 months now....Has 4 teeth....can get from one side of the room to the other in no time...can pull up on just about anything...eats food...carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, peas, black beans, pears, rice... Anything she can get her hands on! there is nothing this child does not love to eat! Oh and best of all...SHE SLEEPS!!! lately, she has been using me as a pacifier at night sometimes 4-5 times a night, and well, this mama was tired...So I started some sleep training, and it only took 2 nights! The most she ever cried was 26 min and that was only once...She now sleeps! and if she wakes up...she makes a few noises , and then lays back down! I am refreshed!

Alomae is the sweetest thing! Andy and I daily talk about how Wonderful she is! That's our word for her...Wonderful... We feel so lucky...So BLESSED!

the Pumpkin Patch

We had a great day at the pumpkin patch! Andy and I have gone every year since we were dating and it's so fun to share it with Alomae! It's the first fun thing of the holiday season...we cannot wait for the Christmas tree farm =)
