Dear Sophie,
Today you are 8 months old. You've come so far, but I think you can do better.
First, the positive: You're an ace at rolling over. In fact, at this point, it's your chosen method of transporation. Ever heard of crawling?
You're pretty much sitting up on your own, but then again, I pretty much eat healthy. You see where "pretty much" gets you?
You're still the most good natured kid and have such a sweet disposition. Translation- you're boring.
Now, the negative: You're STILL not sleeping through the night. And whoever suggested letting a baby "cry it out" obviously did not have one that was such a relentless little piggie. I can only blame teething and growth spurts for so long until I just turn off the baby monitor altogether and leave you to your own devices from 10pm to 6am. Consider yourself warned.
Grade C+
In all honesty, you are such a joy to have, and I'm grateful to have you in my life. You bring a much needed calming influence into the house. I look forward to watching you grow and develop and can't wait to see your true personality emerge.
