Mallory (8 Months)

8 Months Old

 

 

 

 3.17.13

(St. Patrick's Day)

 

 

-You cut your first 2 teeth the first week of March 4-8 (Great timing Mallory..daddy was out of town in training!) It was a rough couple of days being a single parent with a grumpy baby. You ran a fever, were grumpy and didn't sleep through the night like usual. But with a some teething tablets and Tylenol we got through. 

 

You loved to chew on Sophie and your teething rings during this time

 

3.17.13 You celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day (you are a Mahoney after all)

 

 

                       

- March 12th you watched Daddy make a huge change to his appearance when he cut his hair. I was really worried you wouldn't recognize him. But we all went to Great Clips and you watched them cut his hair. It's still daddy (just with less hair to pull)

 

 

 

- March 13th daddy cut his beard. After having the beard the majority of your life I was afraid you wouldn't recognize him. We all went into the bathroom and you watched him trim and buzz his face clean. No more beard to grab onto. You adapted really well.

 

 

 

- You took your first stroller ride March 15th without the baby carrier. You sat up like the big girl you are. It was a warm sunny day and you loved checking out the world...watching the cars go by and all the new sights you saw. And apparently you would rather chew on your sunglasses instead of wearing them

 

 

 

- You struggle with regular nap times. You are so curious about the world around you..you don't want to miss out on anything by napping.

 

- You are very vocal and funny and love to blow "raspberries"

 

 

 

- EVERYTHING goes in your mouth

 

- You have gotten very good at sitting up on your own without tipping over

 

- You are showing signs of wanting to crawl. You have been trying to reach out to toys just out of reach and "scootching" and rocking..you have also tucked your leg under your other leg.

 

- You have developed quite the personality..you don't like when we leave the room, or take toys away, or say "No"

 

- You were very patient with us when we went out car shopping. It made for some long days and straying from your routine but we made it..and now you get a fun new car to ride in with lots of room

 

- Tried pears, peach applesauce, and oatmeal and loved all of them. Tried zucchini and gagged...horribly! (It actually scared me)

 

-Wearing 6 month clothes

 

- These hats still make everyone smile

 

 

-You are very funny and becoming such a little person. I can't wait to see what the next few months have in store for us
