Emmerson 8 Months

On the 14th Emmerson was 8 months.  She is still a content baby but is our little drama queen :)  She is crawling everywhere very fast, crawling up stairs, and is getting into everything.  She is standing on her own for a while and taking a couple steps if she is holding on to something.  She is being more vocal and loves to "dance" when she hears music.  Emmie loves playing with Ollie and sometimes goes into his room to wake him up in the mornings.  She still a picky eater and isn't interested in baby food.  She does better with finger foods but we are trying to be careful what we give her, so we are still nursing every 3 hours.  She is still chapped around her mouth and I'm wondering if it is what she is allergic to that is doing it or just sensitive skin?  When she eats some foods it gets redder and blotchy, can't figure out what it may be besides milk.  Talked to her nurse and I need to keep a watch on it and we will talk more at her 9 month checkup.  She is taking 2 naps a day and usually sleeps 12 hours at night with 1 or 2 feedings. We love our smiley little girl...
