Melanie - 8 months




Height: 29 inches


 
Weight:  22 lbs



Hair: Blonde
 

Eyes: Blue


Food: Still breastfed, but is destroying some food right now. Melanie loves eating, but is all about feeding herself. What 8 month old does that? She loves yogurt (just like brother) and pretty much anything we put on her tray.




I heart eggs...

...and broccoli

Yogurt face!














Sleep: We finally got Mel to sleep all night, but then I went away with her for the weekend and messed everything up. Then we went to Fort Worth for the next weekend. Maybe a long haul at home is just what she needs. She naps like a champ and is a pro at putting herself to sleep.
 
Showing us how it's done (napping in the car)



 Temperament: I write about how happy Melanie is on every post, but it's SO TRUE! She laughs and smiles and squeals all day long unless she's hungry or tired.

They were both more interested in playing with their stuffed friends than taking a picture.
