@manga006 We’re at 9.5 months and it’s my favorite so far. She’s not crawling yet but she is babbling all the time, says a few words, knows a couple signs, claps, points, waves, dances, and just does funny stuff like teases the dogs with her food then pulls it back and laughs (but eventually shares it) and she shares her food with me and also tries to put her toys in my mouth lol. She also takes two long naps everyday (stopped contact napping around 6/7 months).
Months 1-6 sucked for me, especially 1-4 and it was just horrid around month 3/4 when she was alert and wanted to be entertained but hated being on her back or stomach and just cried and fussed all the time. It was so bad. And her sleep was shit. Like waking 12 times a night. Once we realized she needed hypoallergenic formula around month 5 and she could sit up on her own around month 6, things started to improve a lot. Oh and she used to spit up so so much and that finally stopped around month 6/7.
She has even slept through the night a few times at 9 months but we’re back to cosleeping due to illness and teething. Still better than early days though.
