Today The Bean turned 8 months! That seems crazy, no? To celebrate her 8 months The Bean woke up at 5:30, which has unfortunately been the theme all week. She got some yogurt and some fruit for breakfast from her dad, which made her pretty happy.
She stayed up for her 9:00 nap until 8:50, which was pretty amazing. She woke at 10:00 just in time for her babysitter. And to celebrate, she was actually happy for her babysitter, which considering the bad times last week was quite a present. Yay!! Bean! Mama likes it when you're happy with others:) Mama celebrated 8 months of being mama with a latte (decaf) and a roll at Borders while The Bean was being sat.
Because she's 8 months, The Bean happily ate her lunch of spinach, carrots and sweet potatoes, and cut up pieces of bread, which she attempted to feed herself. Go Bean Go! Then she took her 1:00 nap at 1:00! Miracles do happen now don't they?
After she woke up at 2:00, all of us (daddy included!) went for a walk in the beautiful 60 degree sunshine. To top it all off, Bean went swinging in her favorite swing on The Green.
Because mama was ill prepared, the first course of The Bean's 8 month dinner was oatmeal and Vermont organic applesauce. The second course was most exciting as it included salt! The Bean had her very first Dr. Prager's Spinach pancake! Mmmmm, said The Bean! Give me more! So Mama did! Give me more, said The Bean. So Mama did and kept doing until Daddy appeared quite shocked at how much pancake The Bean had eaten. And he didn't even know about the avocado between the courses. Hopefully the tastiness that is Dr. Prager's won't upset The Bean's stomach.
All in all a pretty exciting day, Ms. Bean. You keep growing, pulling yourself to STAND, feeding yourself, crawling into our laps, getting into stuff, laughing, making us laugh, dancing, yelling, and being your all around interested and interesting self!
Only 4 months till you can eat cake, baby girl.
