8 months old


Rainey Grace just reached her 8 month mark in life and she is doing so much! She had been getting up and rocking for a while and recently started crawling. She crawls on all fours on the carpet and then switches it up to the crab crawl on the hardwood floors. It is really funny! (videos in the post above)



She is also eating solids 3 times a day and for being so little she really can pack the food away! She has been sleeping 11-12 hours straight (knock on wood) at night and takes 2 naps a day.
She likes to "talk" to us by growling, saying dadada and mamama and doing this really cute snorting nose scrunch thing...I have tried to get that on video but haven't caught it yet.
Here is a picture of her pulling up to her feet for the first time. She really wants to be doing everything Terry does so I think that is a big motivator for her to get moving!



We lowered her crib because I walked in to her room one day last week to find her stuck like this.

She is already keeping me on my toes and increases her speed with crawling by the day! Pretty soon we won't be able to catch Terry OR her!

Rainey seems like such a happy baby - always smiling in her pictures! Good job on the sleep schedule. I read basically one pregnancy book and then skipped straight to the books on how to get them to sleep at night! Ha.
