Dear Saba (a.k.a my BIG eight month old)

Wow - my darlingest of darlings Saba, you are freaking EIGHT MONTHS OLD. I have A LOT to tell you about you've been up to. First off, you are a growing machine. When it comes to the doctor's charts are are actually quite itty bitty, but we're working on that ! Truth be told, this past month was a bit stressful - you actually went a whole month without gaining ANY weight - I believe the medical term for that is, "wow, that 's not good." So, these past couple of weeks I've really worked on "beefing" you up! And, apparently, I ROCK AT BEEFING YOU UP!
Here's a picture of teeny tiny you

AND, here's a picture (a week later) of you all "heifered" up! (I believe that all of your weight gain is mostly in your "jowls" - which I squeeze and slobber all over on an hourly basis).

What do we have to attribute to your recent weight gain, you may ask? To that I will answer honestly - I now give you whole milk mixed with a little bit of formula in between your constant nursing...so, baby, you're eating all day - ahhh, your master plan has worked!

To be honest, this feeding method has worked out really well for both of us - you are now a stuffed tick and I am a bit more free (your daddy can now give you milk mixed with formula to get you through your days)! Basically you're a happy - crawly - kid, who has BOTH of her parents wrapped around her little finger (not to mention your grandparents and uncle).

It's a good thing you're so adorable! There have also been some other changes this month - you've basically become the social butterfly that your mother has always realized you will be. You get together with you friends from mommy's yoga group on a monthly basis - and the group has moved from "baby blobs" to "ahhh, the babies are crawling" - it's pretty awesome.

Notice I am one of the only moms holding her baby by the back of her dress. Want to know why? Cause you're kind of a Saba-Saurous-Rex when left to your own devices!
A BEAUTIFUL Saba-Saurous. I love you my darling little eight month old!

Thank you for choosing me as your Mama!
