Clothing Size: Still some 3-6, some 6, and some 6-9. I'm making her wear 6 and 6-9 because I don't have any 3-6 month warm weather clothes since I didn't predict she'd be THIS tiny. So she is mostly swimming in them! (Same as at 7 months!)
Sleeping Patterns: Takes one really good nap every day and then a couple shorter naps. Goes to bed by 6:30 every night and usually wakes up once. Sleeps in until about 7:30 if she wakes up once in the night.. otherwise she's up a little earlier. We love that she loves sleep (something we aren't used to!)
Eating Patterns: Nurses about every 2 hours. She usually has a banana or egg yolks for breakfast - probably the most adorable thing watching her work so hard to bring the banana to her mouth and suck on it until it's gone. For lunch I just drop a couple pieces of whatever we are eating on her tray to keep her entertained - we eat peas A LOT for lunch because Trice and I love them, so she's pretty good at downing peas. For supper, she has whatever we're eating or avacado and egg yolk or sweet potatoes or whatever else I find to give her. She had homemade applesauce recently and loved it (of course!)
Likes: Basically everything -- she thinks it's hilarious when people wear hats, still loves her monkey and blankie, addicted to her binkie (uh oh), loves watching Trice and getting his toys
Dislikes: Poopy diapers (I mean, who wouldn't?), having things taken away from her, waiting for food once she's in her high chair,

Milestones: Always looks when you say her name, reaches up for us to get out of the crib or off the floor or out of her high chair, starting to pull up on things, signs "more", blows bubbles (aka spits all over us!), starting to play the "drop the toy" game, waves "hi", really "talking" more -- babababa, dadadada, can pick up food but hasn't quite mastered letting go of it, gives kisses more,
Exciting Events: Moved to her own room, Papa got to babysit her, Spent her first day away from mommy (like 13 hours when we hadn't been apart for more than 2 ever .. not really "exciting" but worth documenting, I guess)
Trice's Thoughts:
"Eliana, stop saying, 'Babababa.' You're a human, not a sheep."
He gets really frustrated with her for things like her not being able to do the Spiderman web shooting hand or not answering his questions. He always wants to hold her like a newborn baby and she is not about that. He's also really starting to play with her -- always bringing her toys, checking on her, making tunnels for her to crawl through. He likes to feed her if it's something she needs a spoon for. He also likes to be the first to tell her good morning and always asks if he can climb in her crib to talk to her after nap (I let him because it's so sweet!)
He still does NOT want to share papa with her and even tells everyone that papa is NOT Eliana's papa.
