Wow, 8 months old! I can not believe we are starting to think about planning her first birthday party!!! Ailyn's personality is really starting to show. For her 8th month birthday post, I thought it would be fun to give you some fun facts about our Ailyn.
Ailyn is so quiet. She is not a talker. When she coos, everyone will stop and listen to what she has to say. She thinks she is very funny and smiles really big after her stories. Her voice is also very soft, we love to hear her sweet voice.
Ailyn is always happy. She has a different cry for hunger, tired or boredom. She never cries for nothing. It's very easy to settle her down if she is upset. She just looks around and takes it all in. She loves to be held, she would be happy to be held all day everyday. And, we don't mind.
Ailyn has always been an amazing sleeper. Well, compared to her brother who never slept until he was 3! During the day she will take cat naps all day. Every 2 hours she is ready for a small nap. I think her mind is conditioned to eat every 3 hours since we have had to wake her up around the clock. Now, we are able to let her sleep 6 hours at night. AND, she does! I will feed her at 12:30am and she will sleep until 6:30 when Daddy wakes her up to eat. He will hand her to me and she will sleep until 9am. This makes Mommy and Daddy very happy. Don't ask where she sleeps ;)
No food yet. I gave her prunes for the first time today because she is constipated. Poor thing won't eat if she has to poop. We had already tried cereal once and she did an amazing job....like she had been eating forever! The GI doctor and Nutritionist want to hold off on the food for a couple more months so she can gain some weight. Doesn't make sense to us but we are putting our trust in the doctors. 
Ailyn has spotted the cats. She is SO adorable when she sees them. She stares and smiles. Our one cat Raegan is very good with kids and doesn't mind hanging around for her to see. But, our other cat is mad at us for having another child.
Big brother Camden, rocks!! If she is upset he holds her hand. He helps with her therapy. He calls belly time "push ups" and holds toys up for her to see. She has a certain smile she gives Camden. We can't figure it out yet. We are not sure if she thinks he is crazy or just a very cool "thing".Well, Ailyn's 15 minute nap is over and she is ready for some cuddles. Thank you for keeping up with Ailyn's story. She is so amazing to us and we love to share her with you.
