Cailey - 8 Months
On November 3rd, Cailey turned 8 months old.
Cailey has become very vocal. She does not babble, she sings . . . one loud, long note. The best is when she does this in the car. I will have Cailey ’singing’ and Sawyer telling her to be quite and complaining to me that she is too loud and is hurting his ears. I just laugh . . . Cailey seems to be playing the ‘annoying younger sibling’ role quite well.
Cailey is not yet crawling. I think she is very close but I’ve been thinking that for about six weeks now. Pretty soon I will have to baby proof the house a little better and block off our stairway.
Cailey is such a sweet and content little girl. She likes to be held but I’m okay with that. I will hold her all I can because pretty soon she won’t want to be held at all. I guess she could be like Sawyer, though. He is three and still asks to be carried all the time. I would gladly carry him all day but he gets heavy pretty quick.
Cailey weighs 16 pounds and is 26 1/2 inches long. After I measured Cailey, Sawyer measured me . . . I am 3 months long. I measured Sawyer and he is 38 inches long but he protested that he is 3 years long. What a funny boy 
Cailey is almost caught up! Andi just had her 15 month check up. She is 28 3/4″ 17.5 lbs. I was hoping she would weigh enough to turn her car seat around. I guess I have to wait another 6 months. She is such a great little girl. Maybe she will be a late walker like Andi and I won’t have to feel left out with all the other little 12 month old kids running circles around her.
That is so funny about how Sawyer was measuring you. Sophia does the same thing with me.
Joshua waited until he was eight months before he started crawling too. That was fine with me because (like you with Cailey) I knew that as soon as that happened he wouldn’t want me to hold him as much.
