Stella isn't a baby anymore

Stella, your size is deceiving.  You are just barely near 16 pounds at 8 months.  (In looking back through my journal, your sister was the same way.)  You won't let me rock you to sleep.  At night you still nurse.  If you don't fall asleep while nursing, the only thing that will put you to sleep is the swing.  I'm not sure if it's the motion and staring at the TV or what.  Emma would let me rock her to sleep.  While I hated that at times because it could take upwards of an hour, now that you won't I am saddened by that.  In a month or so we'll probably start putting you to bed on your own.  I remember how much that sucked for a few nights with Emma.  I hope you pick it up as quickly as she does.
