Poor Leni... I feel so bad for not keeping up with this like I used to with Gemma. I have no idea what she weighs or how long she is; I should go do that this week.
Reading back to Gemma at 8 months, Leni has some catching up to do. At 8 months, Leni can:
- wave bye-bye or, more like, hi
- dori-dori (shake her head) on command
- blow raspberries, make wa-wa sounds (hitting her mouth with her hand), clap
- really likes books, especially peek-a-boo books
- loves to feed herself, though she makes a terrible mess...
- not too mobile yet, though she can go in circles
- goes on all fours, but gets stuck this way and then cries
- eats 5 bottles a day and two meals - I think I better change this to 4 bottles and 3 meals soon (I feel like she is drinking too much formula)
- sleeps anywhere between 10 and 12 hours at night without waking up, naps anywhere between a total of 2-3 hours (not very much, I don't think)
- loves to sit in the swing at the playground
- favorite TV show (I know...) is Special Agent Oso
Even though she may have some developmental catching up to do (to Gemma), she sure is a happy and mellow baby. Apparently this was around the time Gemma began acting impossible in public and I was feeling discouraged about going out with her.
