I'm a little late in getting to this, but some time, some how, our little man turned 8 months old on us. This month has been a big one with regard to developmental milestones, and amongst other fun things. His looks, what he's capable of doing, so much has changed in the last month and it just blows my mind and rocks my world all in the same.
Developmental Milestones:
Crawling anywhere and everywhere.
Pulling self to standing on almost anything and attempting to take steps. (Though his wobbly little legs just aren't ready for that yet, resulting in many crashes and a bruised up little melon).
First 2 teeth are in!
No words yet, but lots of babbling.
Facial expressions are out of control and absolutely hilarious! Mimics our expressions.
Eating: Still at about 5 to 8 oz. every 2.5 hours. Two solid meals a day. Recently started offering more "solid" solid foods and bits + pieces of what mom and dad are having for dinner. Also introduced a little bit of cottage cheese, which was his first encounter with dairy. He typically eats whatever we offer him, but gags when given peas. I think its the chalky texture that gets him there.
Weight: 21. 2 lbs.
Height: 28 1/2
Hair: Ugh the prettiest, strawberry blonde hair.
Play: Loves to roll balls back and forth, his interactive "chair," stackers, and really anything that makes noise. Fine motor skills are getting so great too and you can really see that in his play! Anything you give him he'll analyze and look over with the most serious face for a few minutes before really playing. Loves his fur brothers and sisters...especially capturing all of their tails. He's been testing his limits too lately and going after "no-no's" like plugs/cords and the fireplace. Also, this kiddo loovess shoe laces and rummaging through the diaper bag.The breast-pump hose, however, continues to be his ultimate favorite thing to gnaw on/play with.
Sleep: For the most part he was sleeping really good and through the night. The last couple of days though he's put the kibosh to sleep in general.
Size: 4 diapers. 12 month and 12-18 month clothes.
What Momma Loves:
That I am fortunate enough to have a babe that falls asleep on me every, single, night. (rocks to sleep).
That he's becoming more and more snuggly as he gets older.
The goofy little personality he's developing.
His seriously delicious and contagious belly laughs. Bath bubbles, grandma's dog Tinker, whipping my hair, and clearing my throat seem to make him laugh the hardest.
That he knows how to do "downward dog" whenever momma busts out the yoga mat.
Literally has the cutest cry face ever.
Quirks:
Whenever nursing, somehow his left little hand finds its way to my mouth and grabs on to my lower teeth.
Makes this new almost "scared" face about 10000x per day.
Hates the process of getting dressed and undressed.
Bites and gnaws on my shoulder and chin whenever opportunity arises. Teething, haha.
Lately has been giving the "cry" face to anyone who says "hi" to him in public. It's actually quite funny, but I hope he grows out of it quick as we take him everywhereee with us.
We love bath time. <3
Love you so much little bubba.
