Eating: We are still breastfeeding. She has become very efficient. Usually eats just on one side for 5-10 minutes per feeding. She takes three 5-5.5 ounces bottles of breast milk when I work. I'm still taking Lecithin 3 times a day to prevent clogged ducts. It has worked though! I haven't had a clogged duct in 2 months!!
Sleep: She is still napping pretty well. Most days she will sleep 3-4 hours total in 2 naps. The past week or two she's slept 3 hours a few times! She naps in her crib and will usually fuss/talk for 10-15 minutes before falling asleep.
And night sleep....Bedtime is between 8 and 9pm. She typically goes down pretty easy. Will flip around and talk for up to 30 minutes, but doesn't usually fight sleep. Around 12-1am she starts waking every hour to hour and a half. She almost always consoles herself and goes back to sleep within 30 seconds-5 minutes. I finally just had to turn the monitor off because I would wake up every time and was exhausted. If she goes longer than 10-15 minutes, I go to console her, which ends in me feeding her 100% of the time. This is usually once a night in the 4-6am hours. But then she sleeps until about 9am every morning!
She is still in her crib and now sleeping in regular pajamas. We cut out the Zipadee-Zip this month and she did great. Our nighttime routine is change diaper, pajamas, feed, song/book, bed with lovey.

Clothes: We are in 9-12 month clothes. My sister gave us so many 12 month clothes that she is able to fit into. I haven't noticed much difference in 9 month to 12 month clothes. She still doesn't wear any shoes! Most rompers and outfits that have elastic on her thighs are pretty snug and sometimes too tight!
Diapers: She is wearing size 3. We mostly use Pampers Baby Dry and have been happy with those. I had some Up & Up (Target brand) diapers that we used and I liked those also. I still put her in the Pampers overnight though just in case! Since she sleeps on her tummy most nights, she still occasionally will wet through the front of her diaper/pajamas, especially if she gets more than 1 MOTN feeding.
At 8 months she...
- is so serious! It takes a lot of work to get a smile out of her, and even more for a giggle! We don't hear those giggles very often. Sometimes Jenna can get them though! The time for an (almost) guaranteed smile is right when she wakes up.
- will never be still. She's always on the move. The only time I can get her to stay in one place without fuss is when I'm feeding her.
- has 2 teeth.
