The most overdue post ever- happy 8 months saylor!

I feel SO guilty about this post! Um, 3 1/2 weeks ago I sat down to write it, but my computer hates me (as does most technology, but that's a whole nother story!!) Anyway, the beginning of August was a special time for my little family. Saylor turned 8 months and Stephen and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary :)

What Saylor was up to almost a month ago:

Still no teeth (I had decided I liked this, no biting, no crazy teething issues)
Pulling up and climbing on everything
Pulling hair! I swear, that was her fav thing to do!!
Babbling, mostly da da, but a few other sounds
Loving food, still mainly purees. We have introduced puffs and yogurt melts, which she of course loves
Still not a great sleeper at all... but she has her moments
Smiling almost all the time :)
Loving bath time

That's about all I can think of for now. It's almost time to do the 9 month post :( And it's time to start planning her 1st birthday party, which I have bittersweet feelings about. I can't wait because I'm so excited, but at the same time, it means my baby is 1!

If I had a dollar...

...for everytime someone asked me when I'm going to have another baby, I'd be a millionaire, and well then I would probably have another baby :) Really though, I'm sick of this question! My goodness, Saylor is barely 8 months old (tomorrow!!) why are random people trying to rush my offspring?! Ideally I would like to have another baby soon, I loved being pregnant, and I miss it so much, but realistically it does not look like we will be adding to our family anytime soon. We are still getting hospital bills and dr bills in the mail. (BTW- my ped's office charges you if you call the little helpline. Did not know that!)

We had a little scare when I was about 32 weeks pregnant, so I had to go to a specialist every 2 weeks until Saylor was born (which btw, turned out to be nothing, praise the Lord! but it really, REALLY scared us and cost us a lot of $$) but, we just got a bill from that. Really? This was back in October and November, obviously they didn't want our money too bad.

Not to mention babies are expensive. Duh, right? But I really had no idea. Plus, I'm a shopaholic, so that does not help. (sidenote: babies do not NEED shoes, no matter how cute they are. In fact, my child does not like shoes nor socks for that matter, so if you are in need of really cute baby girl shoes, I can hook you up!)

So, while I would like to start ttc for baby #2 when Saylor is 9 months old, it does not look like that will be happening. Oh well, guess I'll just keep enjoying this sweet little blessing :)

what a morning!

Lately Saylor has been waking up a little too early for my taste. She has been getting up about 7:15, which isn't too bad, but I would love it if she would sleep til like 8, ha! Well, this morning she was up before 6, yuck! Stephen and I would take turns laying her little self back down, putting her paci in, and playing her little musical seahorse. She was having none of it. As soon as we would get back in the bed, she'd be up again. Finally, I put her in our bed and held her (bad, I know, but she's getting so squirmy, I take advantage of the snuggles when I can!) and she went back to sleep for half an hour or so.

Later I was getting Saylor's breakfast ready while she was playing in her highchair, and I started hearing grunting noises. I don't know what it is, but for some reason Saylor seems to go poo while she is eating. I guess she is trying to make room? So, anyway, I pick her up to take her upstairs and change her, when I notice poo has leaked out all over her highchair. Grrreat! So I really carefully carry her up the stairs, when, plop, poo falls on my leg. Ick! Finally, we arrive in her room, and I put her down, and I look down and realize I have poo smeared all over my tank top. Gross! So, needless to say, Saylor provided me with quite an eventful morning today, all before 8 am!

She's a little stinker (ha), but she's so sweet too! I love this pic :)
