MP 8 Months and Allison 3yrs

My My My, nothing to say for myself. I have to give myself a deadline or I wont post, which was 4 months ago. Things are busy around the Driskell home. MP is crazy active, started crawling at 6 1/2 months. She sat up at 5 months and I thought she was going to crazy earlier than she did b/c she was constantly on her hands and knees rocking back and forth. As well as her downward dog yoga pose. haha. She is a mess. Very cute and so smiley. She has a cute personality and PUTS EVERYTHING I MEAN EVERYTHING IN HER MOUTH. She loves to eat too, which the only thing so far she does not like are green beans! Mixed veggies are not her favorite. She likes squash but wants it mixed with pears or something, sweet potatoes, loves sweet peas, of course all fruits. She is also a big fan of oatemal and fruit. She likes cereal too. We havent started table food which I feel she is ready so we may start that a little earlier than what doc thinks which she said we need to start it at 9 months. Allison is doing great, she is growing and its so cool to have such grown up conversations with her. She still has the cute proununciation of all words its quite endearing. She is really into jake and the never land pirates while she eats breakfast in the mornings. She loves the movies annie, littler mermaid, finding nemo (Honestly all disney), love real kids movies like pippy longstocking. She plays with blocks a lot and leggos, loves to build things. Still not too into dress up unless Kynleigh comes over. She is still a very picky eater, loves quesedillas, pizza, not a big fan of chicken these days, spaghetti, loves most fruits, only eats honey nut cherrios for breakfast, loves croissants. I give her daily vitamins (gummies) and 1 claritin per day which I really think helps her. She is very independent and wants to do things by herself, get dressed, bathe, etc. She wears 3t and size 6-7 shoe. she loves MP, but complains when she pulls her hair. She tries to carry her a lot but I have to obviously intervene. MP is obsessed with remotes and cell phones. SHE LOVES BABY mum mums. She prefers store bought baby food-which I get the organic and try different flavors hoping she will not be picky. She goes down about 7pm and sleeps until 6-630. We put a paci clip on her clothes and she listens to music all night long. She is still getting some breastmilk but prefers the taste of forumla as the BM is frozen. I quit breastfeeding at about 5 months but had enough saved to make it to 6 months exclusively but had enough to last until probably 9 months with 1/2 formula too. She loves her jumper but then gets mad if she is in it and no-one else is in the room. SHE IS crazy trying to get dressed these days as she turns over and crawls away, kindof a beating trying to get her to sit still. SHE LOVES TO GET BAILEYS dog food. She is talking quite a bit, and I think I have heard both dada and mama, but its not distinct enough. She also started at about 7 months holding her arms up so that you can pick her up. She is so cute in her crib when its night night time in that she pulls up (7mo) and sits there and giggles if your still in the room. I play a game where I sneak up by the crib where she is standing and play peek a boo, she just squeals with laughter. She is wearing 6-12 and pretty much in 9mo clothing. She is a good baby but dramatic at times :).Having a lot of fun with both, its just crazy how fast time is going by. I cant believe we are in the holiday season.
