Our Little Leyton Lee isn't so little anymore. She is now a wonderful 8 month old ball of joy. We realize this is the Golden Age of babies - old enough to sleep all night, big enough to entertain herself, but not big enough to move around yet.
As she gets older, her personality is shining through. Generally, Leyton is a very happy little girl. She loves going for walks outside and anything that makes noise (including the vacuum cleaner). She is only fussy when she is bored or tired -or when you try to take away something she was enjoying playing with but wasn't supposed to be. She crinkles up her little nose when she smiles and looks more like Ryan with her expressions every day.
People always comment on her big beautiful blue eyes, but sometimes strangers make her cry - especially if they get too close. She isn't crawling, but she can get around. She can push herself backwards with ease. Leyton is also getting better and better at feeding herself, and bananas are still her favorite. Now that she is 8 months, we will start really expanding her food options - to meat, cheese and more fruits and veggies.
She is still a tall girl - taller than many of the toddler babies at Storytime. We also left her in the nursery for the first time this week- a bigger step for us as parents than for her personally. When we came to get her, she was asleep in a swing, so I don't think she much anxiety about leaving us at all.
Enjoy the photos from our little ray of sunshine this week:

Our first official beach outing (it started out clear and sunny - but quickly clouded up)
Thanks for the bathing suit BB (unfortunately it is almost too small, so we will have to get her another very soon)
We are trying to teach her how to clap. She can do it, but is generally too busy to practice for long.Silly kid

8 month olds need lots of sleep. She was still sleeping at 8AM this morning, and this is how she solved the problem of it being too bright outside.
