8 months old

Today Sipsey is 8 months old! She is such a sweet baby. It is so hard watching her grow from a baby to a little girl each day that passes by. I finally stopped nursing last week, so Sipsey is taking a bottle all day now. Below is a normal day (if I don't have class) for us in the Beck household. This may be boring to most people, but I like to look back on this for my own personal use. Skip to the pictures if you don't feel like reading!

7:30 AM
Sipsey wakes up, eats 8 oz formula, then as much breakfast as she wants, which usually includes a jar of fruit or oatmeal and some pieces of banana. Then I'll put her in the jumper in the bathroom doorway while I shower and get ready until she gets sleepy.
9:30 AM
Takes a nap until lunchtime, usually until 11:00 or 11:30.
11:30 AM
Has a 6 oz bottle and then 1 or 2 jars of baby food. She plays for about 2 hours and then she's sleepy again. If we have errands to run, this is when we leave the house.
1:30 PM
Takes a nap until about 3:00 or 3:30. If we are out and about, she skips this nap.
3:30 PM
Has a 6 oz bottle for a snack and maybe will eat some Puffs too. Plays until sleepy!
5:30 PM
Sleeps again for about 1 hour. I'm trying to figure out how to stop this naptime but she insists on having it, so I'm letting her until she changes her mind. I'd love for her to stay awake until dinner time, but she just can't she's so sleepy. I guess if we got up earlier, this naptime would occur earlier and not so close to dinner, but I'm not willing to wake up earlier, so 5:30 nap it is! Ben and I eat dinner around 6:00 while she is sleeping.
7:00 PM
Has a 6 oz bottle, eats dinner, plays, takes a bath (she takes big girl baths now!), and then plays more until sleepy. Goes to bed around 8:30 (sometimes 9:00) and sleeps until 7:30 AM.


Sipsey and her scrunchy face.

Taking a big girl bath at Sweet P's (I wish I had a tub like this).

Sipsey loves bathtime and loves to splash.

Out of all the toys you see, she prefers the Similac canister or the cap to her bottle.

Hey cutie!
