Sarah is eight months today! She is waving a lot right now (it seems her hand-actions/signing come individually and don't stick when the next new thing comes along). She currently loves Path the Bunny, lift-the-flap books, and books with photographs in them. Animal noises are a big bonus. The toy that gets the most consistent smiles from her is Anna's Hello, Kitty doll (accompanied with excessive "meowing" of course!) She wants to make you laugh and capture your attention (will post videos soon, I promise!)
She is crawling (still technically creeping with belly on the floor) everywhere and is into more mischief than I remember Anna being. She likes to pull books off of the bookshelves and go into the office and Anna's room. I try to find a really exciting toy to place just outside the bathroom when Anna needs to go but inevitably, Sarah comes racing in and tries to get into all sorts of contraband. (Lucky Anna is fast using the potty because I really don't like the idea of Sarah crawling around the bathroom.)
Sarah hates sweet potatoes (although the ones here are different than at home and Anna loved the ones at home but doesn't like these either; too bad since sweet potatoes are over-abundant here). We've tried chicken and she loves the vegan frozen waffles I get at Home Plus. So, we're moving on to more foods which is good since a lot of the things that she was "allowed" to have between 6-8 months are not available here in Korea which has been slightly frustrating.
She hates sweet potatoes (they are different than the ones at home; Anna doesn't like them either and she loved the ones in the US). She still won't nurse lying on her left side consistently and she has also been waking up at 5:15 the past week and cries until I give in around 6-6:30 (it's off-and-on crying, not constant). Hopefully whatever it is that's getting her up that early will work itself out soon because I'm not excited about it at all.
