Milestones: Isla is 8 Months Old!

 

8 months old and just as happy as can be!

 Oh Isla, you are growing like a weed! Every time I turn around, you are doing something new! Over this past month you learned how to crawl and a couple days later you were standing! I can't keep up! You are my little shadow all throughout the day and it is a struggle with everything else I have going on, but you are also a light in my life that keeps me grounded and stable, reminding me of what is important. You LOVE your siblings and the second your eyes open in the morning you are looking around for them and then you get the biggest smile on your face once you see them! You still have two teeth and are teething with those top ones :(. Lucky for me, ever since you turned 8 months old, you suddenly started sleeping throughout the night, or only waking up once at night! YAYYYY!!! It has been sooooooo long since I've gotten any sleep so I really appreciate it! As you can see from these pictures, you are the happiest baby! But you have also gotten pretty grouchy lately as I have been spending soooooo much of my time trying to help the kids with online schooling while you cry at my feet :(. Hence, another reason why I've decided to homeschool Austin. I can't let you suffer through all of this. Not my sweet, happy Isla... 

Isla, you make my life complete. You are the light in my day and I can't help but hug and kiss you constantly! Luckily you absolutely love being adored, so it works out great for both of us! :)

Right after you learned how to crawl, you started standing!! I need time to slow down because I'm not ready for this!

This was a particularly rough day as we navigated this new way of schooling and you were right by my side during all of it. At least I have you to love on!!

You are always at my feet crying while I try to cook! So in comes the tupperware cabinet to keep you busy! :)

Rock n' Roll Isla!

This is the first time you crawled! I was in the kitchen cooking breakfast and you crawled right in there to find me and make a mess with the fridge magnets! Yay Isla! :)
