Janny reaches 8 months

Janny is 8 months old.  She's one of the bigger babies in the baby room at church.  

She now sits, eats solidish food, crawls, and puts everything she can find into her mouth.  She doesn't like resting on her tummy, so her crawling is a lumbering motion using two hands and a knee or foot or two.  She's not fast, but she can get to a another spot in a room when needed.
 We're feeding her baby oatmeal in the morning and a two dish dinner consisting of rice cereal and a veggie.  But her favorite food are puffs, just as they were for Clara.  We're trying harder to make her eat better than Clara did/does.

Janny's sleep patterns are unlike the rest of us.  Jill, Chad, and Clara all love to sleep.  Janny can do with much less.  Here is a typical sleep schedule for us lately.
Clara goes to bed at 9pm.
Janny drinks a bottle of milk and goes to bed at 10:30.  We go to bed straight away.
Janny wakes up at 1:30 to yell and drink a sip of milk.  Takes about 30 minutes.
Janny wakes up at 4:30 to yell and drink a little milk.  Again, about 30 minutes.
We all wake up around 7:30am.
Janny naps for a hour or two some time during the middle of the day.
Clara naps from 2-4.

Written out this doesn't look to bad.  Still, we look forward to sleeping through the night again.
Clara is getting to be a talker.  Discussion topics are limited but it's a blast to hear what she's thinking about.

So fun seeing your beautiful girls! Adrianna was a night-waker, too. She seemed to get herself in the habit of being hungry in the middle of the night. By the time she was almost two, we finally had to cry it out. Hard to do, but so worth it in the end.
