Ella at Eight Months
Ella embarked on her eighth month of life by getting her helmet! Her new accessory did not last very long, however, as she got a pretty bad sore on the side of her head. The future of her ‘pink hat’ is up in the air as of now.
Ella loves eating! She is getting quite adept at feeding herself. Puffs, eggs, and fruit seem to be her favorites for now.
Over the last month she has met more people, some for the first time, others for the second time. Although she still isn’t excited about unfamiliar faces holding her, sometimes she cooperates! She has also accomplished a few notable skills: she rolls easily front to back and back to front. Sometimes she’s so enthralled, she rolls across her bedroom carpet. She isn’t crawling yet, but she’s working on it. In the meantime, she loves playing peekaboo, whether it’s you or her who’s doing the hiding.
Eight months has also revealed Ella’s seemingly strong personality. When she doesn’t like something, she lets you know, loud and clear. On the other hand, when she’s enjoying playtime, her giggles fill the air.
