Kaetana - 8 Months

Today Kaetana turns 8 months old and my mind is, once again, blown.
Every day is such an adventure with her, and she is learning so many things so quickly that sometimes I feel like I can't even keep up. She's very smart (maybe I'm just biased, but I swear she's a genius) and picks up on things really fast. She's more hilarious than ever these days, which I honestly didn't even think was possible, but it's like she does stuff to try to make us laugh. She taught herself to make the sound that Indians always make in movies. Ya know, the one where they yell and pat their hands over their mouths at the same time? Yeah, that one. She does it with her forearm and it's freakin' hysterical. She'll do it anywhere, and to anyone. Super funny when she startles old folks in line at the grocery store with it (she's loud.)

This month Kaetana:

- Mastered crawling, and is extremely fast these days

- Can sit herself up from a laying position 

- Is pulling up to standing on, and walking along, furniture

- Waves Hello and Goodbye 
- Started walking as long as we're holding her hands

- Started eating meat meals, but only the Sprouts Organic brand!

- Is less interested in the television (which is probably a good thing!) 

- Still has just two teeth

Another new thing Kaetana started this past month is throwing tantrums! She totally flips her shit when she doesn't get her way, like if we take away a cord from her (for some reason she's obsessed with them!) or leave the room when she doesn't want us to. It's kind of funny and I sometimes have a really hard time not laughing at her when she does it. She just starts fake crying and a few minutes in to the tantrum she'll stop and see if anyone's paying attention. If we are, she'll keep going but if we aren't she'll stop and get on with her life. It's so ridiculous! I didn't think she'd start throwing tantrums for another couple months but I'm sure they'll only get worse with time haha.

Well that's it for now! Next month she'll have her 9 month well check so I'll have stats to share with you and such. I'll also be back tomorrow (hopefully) with a post about our little trip downtown we took today! Which, by the way, will have photos very similar to this post because I just took these from today haha.

Turkey Dinner

Day before yesterday, Kaetana got her first taste of meat in the form of Sprout's Organic Holiday Vegetable Dinner with Roasted Turkey. I have been hesitant to buy any kind of meat dish for her because I'm not a huge fan of pre-cooked, pre-packed meat in general, so why would I give it to my baby? I've been making sure she got her protein elsewhere up until now. Anyways - she freaking LOVED this baby food. Love, love, looooved. I will probably keep buying the meals like this since we still get baby food from WIC and that pretty much covers the basic fruits and veggies. I'm really glad I found this product, and I like that Tyler Florence is the one who started it, and makes the recipes. He's one of my favorite food network people!
Here's a video of her enjoying her meal. Can you tell she liked it? :)

I'll be back tomorrow with her 8 month(!) update.

I figured out the problem.

Well, it would seem that I've figured out the issue with my blog photos, and I'm incredibly annoyed! John talked me in to joining Google+ and while I was dinkin around over there I discovered that there were like a million photos on there that I didn't want. So, I deleted them. Sounds pretty sensible, right? Well, apparently, when I joined stupid G+ they automatically became my photo host for my blog. Deleting the photos = deleting them from here. I'd like to know WHY THE HELL there would be no mention of that? And why, oh why, did I join that stupid website? It doesn't even make any sense and is retarded. I'm deleting it, and for the next few days will dive head first in to fixing my blog (a.k.a re-uploading the bajillion photos on here, if I can remember what they were.) If I can't fix it, it's likely I'll start anew at another blog. We'll see.

OMG, Blogger, REALLY!!?

If you haven't noticed, Blogger's messing up my blog right now and it's really pissing me off. I'm not sure how to fix it so I'm just going to ignore my blog for a few days and hope it fixes itself. :(
