Hensley: 8 months!

Weight: I'm not sure her exact weight, but I'm guessing she is somewhere between 21-22 lbs. She is a healthy girl, but she still is pretty short.

Food: Hensley is still nursing about every 3-4 hours, but boy does she love table food. I pretty much will give her whatever we are eating. She's had fried rice and lasagna (lactose-free) even! She loves to feed herself and is really good at smashing her food with her gums. There really isn't anything that she hasn't liked. I've given her a few of those organic pouches with the puree's and she isn't a big fan of those. It's probably because she is used to chunkier food that is also fresh.

Clothes: She is fitting well into 12 month clothes now. She can still fit in a few 9 months, but 6 month clothes are out. I'm really looking forward to the Just Between Friend sale coming up in April, so I can get her some cute summer clothes!

Sleep: This girl just loves to sleep with mommy and daddy. We haven't tried to put her in her crib since before our cruise, but hoping to try soon. I was even thinking about taking the rail off the crib and scooting it right up against our bed. I'm just ready to have our bed back! She sleeps really good and takes a two hour nap at between 11-12pm and then another nap at about 4-5pm that usually lasts an hour or two. She then is ready for bed about 10pm and sleeps (with about 1 or 2 feedings) until 8am.

Movement: This girl is full on crawling. She can get to wherever she needs to go with no problem. She pulls up on whatever she can and has even started letting go and free standing. She can lower herself from a standing position and also get onto her knees. She does not like to sit still for nothing and even crawls away mid diaper change :)

Product: Since she has started eating, we have really enjoyed feeding her these puffs. She loves to feed them to herself and gets so excited when she sees the container. She also really enjoys these teething biscuits too. She also loves water and will drink it non-stop if we let her. We have two stainless steel sippy cups that she loves!

Highlight: Her biggest highlight is the crawling and standing. She has also really started to talk. She says "dada" and I am almost certain she is referring to Aaron. She has said "mama" a few times, but not as much as she says "dada"!

Taelyn: These girls just mean so much to me. Tae is super sweet, but sometimes a little to overwhelming for Hensley. Hensley has learned to push Tae away if she is being too smothering. It is kind of funny. One of Hensley's favorite thing to do is play in Tae's room. She will just sit in there for ever and crawl around and play with all the toys. So fun!

Blessing: We had so much fun on our cruise with our family. I'm working on a blog post about it and hope to post it soon. My sister, Jennifer made these cute fox shirts for all the cousins with their first initial on them. My mom took pictures of all of them together at a recent family dinner we had. So blessed to be able to spend time with all our family!

All the cousins!
