8 months

8 Month Milestones

*She has 4 teeth
*She has been scooting and pulling herself around for 2 months now, but she is finally crawling on on fours now.
*Learning to pat a cake and wave
*She is VERY loud and loves to hear her voice
*LOVES LOVES LOVES the water
*She has become quite the "love bug" and a Mommy's girl. She loves to give mommy hugs and kisses.
*She is starting to pull up
*She loves to crawl on the shelf under the cocktail table.
*She loves to jump

I'm not sure of her exact weight and height. About 2 weeks ago she was 18lbs 6 oz and 29 in. We are STILL working on getting her tyroid levels "leveled" out. It's frustrating and worriesome because I know the damage it can cause, but the Endocrinologist assures me that her levels are not in the "danger" zone to cause mental and/or physical delays. She is still working on getting her on the correcet medication dosage.

She seems to be doing great! I am a little concerned she may have asthma because she breathes SO hard while doing any kind of activity and wheezes. It's like she is out of breath. She also holds her mouth open ALL THE TIME. I pray it's not asthma, but I am going to bring it up to her Ped. If any of you out there have asthmatic children, "Is this a sign?"


Here are a few snapshots from today.

Colby was diagnosed with Asthma at 6 months old. We went a while just on albuterold to get through the winter and determine if this is actually asthma or just induced by his many colds. Sure enough we did a test run and he went without for 2-3 days and failed miserably. He was wheezing and coughing all the time. He's been on a Pulmicort nebulizer every day ever since. We use the albuterol now as a resue treatment and thankfully only need it about once a quarter. Does she cough a lot or just seem like she's wheezing? If you think she's wheezing hold her up and put your ear to her back just about by her shoulder blades. Listen very carefully (easier said than done with a squirmy little one) and if you hear her squeaking like a mouse sound then it's possible that asthma symptoms are what you are actually hearing. And just for your sanity, it's really no big deal, just another something to add to the list of daily routine. He's so used to it and it keeps him healthy. The peds should be able to tell better during her next visit. Glad to her the tyroid is getting to be under control! Great Growing Kins :)
