7-8 Months!

Weight: 15 pounds, 4 ounces
Clothes: some 3-6, some 6, & very few 6-9
Diapers: size 2!
Sleep: Ayla girl still sleeps in her own bed in her room! She has been sleeping through the night more and more lately and is pretty consistent with it now! {YAY!} Except when she stays the night with somewhere else for the night... then she tends to wake up multiple times a night!
Diet: I still pump - so breast milk is still her main source of nutrition. She still gets baby food as well - usually 1-2 jars a day and has tried so many different things now! She gets so excited when you sit her in her high chair and she sees her baby food! We tried puffs, but she choked (gagged) and I had to do back blows... so that was the only attempt at those! She also tried yogurt melts (broken into fourths thanks to our puffs experience) but was not a fan of those quite yet... she kept making a horrible face and spitting them out. We've also introduced water more this month and she is doing so good with it... especially when she's hot! We've tried a couple sippy cups but she isn't a fan... she is starting to do better with a transition sippy cup though :)
Toys: I think her favorite toy is still her v-tech sit to stand toy at Grammy's house and took a small (accidental) step with it for the first time! I just ordered her one too for our house! She also loves the stack-able rings, although she isn't quite sure how to stack them quite yet! She still loves rattles and anything that makes noise! She has lots of sensory toys that she is loving too! She also loves her teethers :) Oh! And how could I forget the "toys" that aren't toys?!? She loves cups, bowls, and butter dishes too!! 
Milestones/firsts: Ayla has started pulling up on anything she can, but can only stand up when holding my hands. She can slowly get up by using me as a jungle gym when I'm on the floor with her. She also got her first tooth this month (7/11) & the second one popped through on her 8 month birthday!
Health: so far, so good!
Likes: Ayla loves to chew on anything and EVERYTHING!! Ayla still loves to suck cloth... either her blankie, Opie, or a shirt worn by whoever happens to be holding her. Ayla also loves little kids and gets so excited and screeches when she sees them!
Dislikes: Despite buying her a new car seat, she still seems to dislike it 85% of the time... especially when she's tired or someone isn't riding in the back seat with her... She also hates to be left alone! If I walk out of the room, chances are she will start crying almost immediately... she is definitely still a momm'a girl :)
Misc: I love when Ayla is tired, being shy, or just loving on me how she will nestle her little head on my shoulder or chest! It is the sweetest thing ever and melts my heart! She discovered how to put her feet in her mouth this month, so she does that occasionally. She feels/grabs my clothes or her clothes when eating her bottle to self soothe and it is so cute/sweet! She laughs, screams, and talks so much and I LOVE it! When Ayla gets excited she shrieks and flaps her little arms up and down like a penguin! I love EVERYTHING about this perfect little baby girl!!
