Our Little Man is 8 Months Old!

David,

Yet another month has come and gone and I can't believe you're 2/3 of a year old! You've changed soo much in this past month it's not even funny! You're such a trooper with all the traveling we've done and we love that about you. You're easy-going about anything (unless you're hungry) and super laid back. That has been such a blessing as we go and do things this summer! We love you so much buddy!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Weight: Probably around 17-18 lbs

Length: My guess is around 30 inches - I've had to change the setting on the jumper to make it further from the ground. :)

Diaper size: Size 3

Teeth: Three bottom teeth and your top two are going to pop through any day now!

Clothes size: 9 months, 6-9 months, and even some 12 months!

Sleep: You take two naps a day. For about a week you didn't take your morning nap and that was no fun for anyone! Now you're back to taking between 1 - 1 1/2 hour morning naps and 2-3 hour afternoon naps. You go to bed around 8 and sleep straight through the night. I'm not sure what time you actually wake up because you're so quiet in your crib, but my guess is it's between 6-6:30. You play quietly with your paci and lovey and I typically get you up around 7:15.

Favorite activities/things: Rolling over, sitting up, jumping in the jumper, watching Elizabeth, chewing on your hands or any toy, eating anything I feed you!

Eating: You still nurse every 3-4 hours during the day (a total of 5 times a day). You're also still eating about 3 pouches with each meal. We have a ton of pouches that we bought off Zulily for super cheap, so we're hoping those will be the last time we buy you baby food! You're eating more and more table food and hopefully you'll soon be eating mainly what we eat!

Nicknames: Little Man, Bubba, Buddy

Talking: You've become quite the talkative little man! You love making noise, and we love to hear it! This month brought the "mamama," "bababa," and "dadada" (in that order). I can't wait until you actually say Mama and Dada for the first time!

New adventures: You got to go to the beach and loved the water and sand!

New Skills: You've perfected the army crawl this month! You use it to get anywhere and everywhere you want to go! If you leave shoes on the floor, watch out, because those are your favorite! Pulling up on Mommy is also something new! You'll crawl over and just use my legs to pull yourself up into a standing position. I love it! You also finally learned how to sit up on your own. Daddy didn't believe me at first, because you just wouldn't perform for him for the longest time! Ha.


Our Little Man wanted nothing to do with sitting in his chair, so these are the best I could do! :) Maybe I'll try again and see what happens. 

We love the grass
