8 months old doctor visit/well check up

LOVE Lilith's doctor. He was so awesome about everything still. He says her growth is great (and even said she is developmentally slightly ahead of the curve, not that it matters too much to me as all babies ARE different and go at their own pace, so I am NOT being all "omg my baby is soooo advanced!!!" or whatever, she is simply at the right level for her is all, lol). He said we don't really need to come in to update records "just in case she gets sick" (the only reason we go) but it's cool that we do that (and we will go in again at around 12 months still anyway). He has no problem with our cosleeping/bedsharing (He is just glad she has healthy sleep patterns) or BLW (the fact that we skip puree food and give her pieces of solid chucnks of whatever fruits and veggies and have around). AND he had nothing negative to say about her breastfeeding (and getting 99.9% of her nutrition from breastmilk rather than solids). Also, still not giving us any crap about not vaccinating, AND he happily checked out her chest sounds while we were there (She has a slight cough) and said she sounded fine (As in nothing serious) and he had no issue with us giving her the homeopathy, we even showed him the medicine bottle, (and actually stated cough meds, etc. are not really ideal to give to babies anyway). So, YAAAAAAY!!!! LOVE this man!!! 

Update

Whew. First time as doula to a hospital birth. Learned things, gained perspective, am more thankful/grateful than ever I chose to birth at home (It solidified why a hospital would have been a bad birth choice for me personally.)

Also, Lilith is a little over 8 months old!!! She is finally getting a little tooth popping through the gums (it's sharp too!!). She loves chewing on carrots and celery lately but still so not into actually eating anything but breastmilk. Which I'm totally cool with and expected. Yay!!

Oh, and I turned 24 this past weekend. We went to Ocean City in Maryland to celebrate. Spent Fri morning to Monday afternoon away from home and easily managed to do cloth diapers. I still don't understand why people think they are difficult or whatever. I know they are not for everyone, but they really aren't complicated or difficult to me. lol

So...Life is getting better... Still a bit mopey about  things but much more upbeat than I had been...

OH! also, while in OC I totally got dreadlocks. LOVE!!! :>
