miller is 8 months old.

oh happy month-day miller!! :)

what a silly girl you are.

we'll start with stats :)

i dont know how tall she is since her last visit, but we *did* have a weight check.

::drumroll::

she went from 12lbs 10oz 4 weeks ago to... 15 POUNDS!! hahaha what a fatty.



so here's what we did.

I would BF her. and then she'd get a small bottle of formula (not after every feeding, just once in a while) with flax seed oil in it. then, she'd eat her finger foods with coconut oil. thats it! haha



BFing is still awesome. i started drinking a shitton more water (i swear some days that ill drown) and then also a few fenugreek a day. ta-da! im so proud of my little grower!

she wears 6months clothes. some 6-9 now fit comfortably - a bit big, but still wearable.



playing with her sisters is numero uno. they make her laugh so much.


even if it looks like she and reese are frenemies ;) haha

the 4 of them in the pic up there ^^^ was them trying to help her crawl.

annnnnnd miller is def on the move. she army crawls (ive never had a kid do this) and is super fast now. so long for my sweet baby under a playmat, right?! haha

she sleeps alright. still wakes up once, but oh well - im used to it now so its really no big deal. she usually takes 1 big nap and then falls asleep on me in the evenings for about 30mins. which i adore bc i have not had a baby who still just... cuddles... at this age. so its so swoon-worthy.



her fave place to be is like a spider monkey ON me when we are doing things.


i mean look at that sweet face.


happy 8 months to you, sweet girl. you babble, you crawl, you eat everything we do. you laugh so much and smile at everyone. im a lucky mom.

miller is 1 month.

fastest month of my life.


ive said before, i really am trying to focus on the small stuff this time. to enjoy every moment - no matter how stressful it may seem.







i have no idea how much she weighs - our next dr appt is at 2 months.

she is still weearing newborn clothes.

loves to be worn. i put her in the babyhawk mei tei or moby almost every day -- either to get the girls from school or just while im making dinner. its a guaranteed nap.


she is usually a cluster feeder. and then she'll take a nap. sometimes she crashes wherever.


and sometimes, she has to sleep swaddled in her bedtime spot.

she sleeps in the motion glider inside the pack n play lol so its a nice incline.

her longest nap is in the afternoons after i get the girls from school - so about 3pm til 7pm or so. usually. in the mornings, she is awake a lot. and eats a lot. and naps in the car or cart while we run errands lol

she gets overtired so quickly. if you miss her window, she will cry. and cry. and then have to eat again. so my best advice to myself is to put her down and then just go in and put the paci back in if need be.


because when she is OUT, its for a while. she just isnt good at cuddling awake anymore haha - she just fusses and basically tells me "hey, im tired." so when she gets to that point, i have a minimal amount of time to get her ready for sleep.


at night, she usually goes to sleep between 8pm and 9pm. and then wakes up for the first time around 2am? sometimes i get an extra hour or so. and then she's up again at 530am or so.

at that point, i just bring her in bed with me, dream feed, and then we wake up at 730am.

breastfeeding is going well. i had/have a clogged duct that im trying to get out that hurts like hell. but overall, its going smoothly. i am super nervous about starting to have shoots again... ive been pumping to build up a nice stash that EJ can bottle feed her if need be while im gone. but im still so ::omg:: i am sure itll be fine... right? lol

miller is such a delight. really. i love when she's awake and just loves to look around. her neck is so strong and she just lifts her head up to get a better look at the world. when she smiles (gas or not - im not picky) my heart melts.

we love you, squirt. happy 1 month birthday.

reese is 18 months.

wow. time flies, eh?
