SULA 8 MONTHS- AUGUST

16 lbs 28 inches

August has been a fun month. Sula has really become quite the little market baby. Each week we go all the vendors are there waiting to see Sula. She loves all the attention she receives and everyone loves holding her and playing with her. It’s amazing how much joy being around a baby can bring someone.

Puffs and lots of them! I took Sula to a new mom group and the other moms were all feeding their little ones (who were actually younger than Sula) puffs. I had heard of them when Keegan was little but never really looked that much into them. The moms told me they dissolve very quickly and the babies love. After the group I took Sula to New Seasons but they didn’t have them. So we went to Fred Meyers but they didn’t have them either. So I called Misty and she looked them up on her computer and found out they sell them at Whole Foods. Sula and I went there and bought green apple flavored puffs and a greens flavored one that included kale, swiss chard, spinach, and collard greens. I opened them up in the car and gave her one. I was a little nervous at first just because I wasn’t sure if she would know how to chew them. She took to it like fish to water. She chewed it right up and wanted more! She absolutely loves puffs. We can’t go anywhere without them. Damien said we should buy stock in them because of how many she consumes.

Learned to crawl a real crawl on August 25th. Up until now she has been doing the army crawl, which works great and she is so fast at it. Then one day we put her down and she started crawling. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly she learns a new skill.

Sula is going through a growth spurt and eating like crazy! In addition to all the puffs she has been eating 2 to 3 jars at one meal. WOW! She eats so much and is still so super skinny! I have also started making her baby food which she loves. Her favorite right now is Quinoa Kitchari which is just quinoa, red lentils, water, and lots of veggies (kale, zucchini, bell pepper, peas, bok choy, onion, garlic…). It’s so creamy and flavorful and packed full of vitamins and nutrients. Yumm…

Stood all by herself without holding on to anything on August 31st . She just stands, it’s so cute. We go places and people are shocked that she can stand since she is so little but she does and is so proud.
