Misha: 35 weeks (8 months)

Solids oats peach
I am getting more consistent at feeding her 3 meals a day. So far she is tolerating it well...not sure how much she can eat. I usually feed her about 80g which she finishes but I dont't want to give her too much in case she takes less milk.
I notice she will nurse less if she eats too much and she already doesn't nurse much as it is.

Pumping
So I have finally solved my pumping issues. After contacting customer service it appears my pump is worn out! Not even a year of use. Apparently the silicone parts can loose suction as early as 4 months though they're not sure what causes it. I contacted the UK office so they will be sending me replacement parts. In the meantime I got a new pump and am slowly trying to increase my supply. Sigh.... (Frustrated and relieved at the same time).

Milestones
She is finally moving. She does the combat crawl on her stomach...she still tries to get on all fours but can't seem to move forward that way.
She is very attracted to things she shouldn't touch... The first thing she headed for was the laptop wire (so we have move that away). Then she headed for the sockets (so we've blocked that too). Baby proofing is now ongoing.

Signing
I have been trying to sign 'more' to her and I think she is trying to sign back. But not in the right context...or maybe she does it when she gets excited.

Sippy cup
I tried offering her a straw cup but all she does is chew on it. Meanwhile she is getting better at drinking from the spout type. Not sure if it confuses her so I've decided to stop the straw type for a while.

Finger foods
One day I bought some rye bread so during dinner I gave her a bit.She loved it! She was busy gumming it the whole time we were eating dinner. Not much actually got eaten though...and her chair was a mess after it but at least we got to eat in peace.
She is also much better at eating other finger foods now and hardly drops her food. She still holds it in her fist though so she can't get to the part that's in her hands. She has yet to master letting go of her food into her mouth.

Sleeping
No issues here. Most of the time when we put her to bed she will move around a bit then settle down and sleep. Usually around 10 minutes or less. She is still taking 3 naps a day. For a few mornings she woke really early (one time it was 6 am) but she was just playing in her crib till I got her up at 7.30am!
Her morning wake time is extending I think. Sometimes she can do 2.5 hours before going down for her nap...and if she had a good morning nap, the next wake time can be another 2.5 hours.

Mobile
I have removed the mobile from her crib. I notice she was always reaching up to grab it....after taking it down I realized that she must have been pulling the toy down so much that one of the strings attaching the toy to the bars has given way!
