Ada is almost 8 months old! We're heading to Costa Rica early tomorrow morning so we decided to do her 8 month picture a couple days early. June has been a busy month!
Ada is sitting up like a champ! She loves to sit and play with her toys. She can get from a seated position to all fours but hasn't quite figured out to crawl yet. She still loves standing with help. She's "talking" a lot now with some recognizable syllables like "dada" and something that sounds like "hi." Her fine motor skills are developing pretty quickly too. She can feed herself small pieces of food. She's eating really well and enjoying most foods we give her. I'm excited to see what she thinks of Costa Rican food this week.
Ada is teething now. We can feel her first tooth coming in but can't quite see it yet. She's tolerating it pretty well but we gave her her first doses of Tylenol yesterday to help with the discomfort. I was worried about how she would sleep last night but she only woke up once around 4am. She has been sleeping pretty well in the new apartment so far. Fingers crossed that it continues!
We were able to visit Jamine and her family when we were in Madison for Ben and Heidi's wedding. It was fun to see them. Taya especially interacted with all of us more than she had before. I think Taya and Ada will be good friends.
We had a great time at Ben and Heidi's wedding. It was so good to see the Rohrer and Sluzewski families again! Ada had a great time dancing with Grandma Jul, Great Aunt Mary, and Mary's friends too. Of course, Ada had to eat during the ceremony but I was able to sit in the back with her and see most of it.
John's family came down to help us move in to our new apartment. It took two loads in the UHaul and van on Saturday plus another load in the van on Sunday but we made it! We're almost unpacked now, mostly thanks to John. We'll have to finish when we return from Costa Rica.
