I apologize for not posting much lately. Things have been a bit haywire. I am just now getting back in the saddle after Spring Break and having Mom visit. I have also been sewing a lot. I find that I prefer sewing to computer stuff, these days. Plus, Twilli has been super clingy lately. She only will calm down for me. I am not sure if it is separation anxiety, teething, topsy turvy routine, or ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Speaking of teething… Twilli got a NEW TOOTH! It is on the top, and the other top one is about to emerge.

She is doing well with solid foods. She likes everything we’ve given her. And she is so precocious! She insists on feeding herself. I mean we load up the spoon, but then she takes the spoon and feeds herself. This girl is scary! Watch a video of the Twilli baby feeding herself at 8 months on YouTube!

I never cease to be amazed by this baby. She has also started sticking her tongue out when you stick your tongue at her. It is too cute. And she makes a kissy noise. Though I don’t think she “knows how to kiss” just yet.

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT and let us know the awesome things that your kid or grandkid (or niece or nephew or whatever) can do!

Twilli’s second tooth (on the bottom) emerged today! The first one is even more visible! She is just too cute. She seems proud. My baby is growing up TOO FAST!

We will post a photo soon. (DH took some. But I haven’t rescued them from the camera yet.)

Again, I have to say that the Hyland’s Teething Tablets, nursing, and babywearing have saved our hides! I’ve been using the Ergo Baby Carrier like mad! And now Elliott uses it too, since Twilli essentially grew out of the Baby Bjorn that he used to like so much.

I am also in the process of trying to figure out how to make my own Scandi-inspired Mei Tai carrier. I will give updates on that project.

I am so thankful that I have my MacBook Pro, or I would have gotten NOTHING done, through these cluster-feeding sessions!

Speaking of milestones, we took Twilli to the pediatrician for her belated 6 month well baby exam (and the icky shots :sniffle:). She is doing great! The weighs 17 pounds and is 27.5″ tall.

Dr. Reyes was very impressed that she is using the potty. We explained that we have reduced our diaper consumption by half. He said she is their first patient that has done infant potty training. We have gotten really good reactions from people about this whole thing. I guess
