8 Months

8 months big boy! Wow what a month it has been.  You grew up literally over night and are now a talking, crawling and cruising little man.  In a matter of days, you went from scootching to crawling, to crawling FAST, to pulling to a stand and taking a few cruising steps around the furniture.  It's truly amazing. I thought you would be slower to 'get up and go' because of your size...but oh no, you're as strong as an ox and motivated to get to where your brother (or Charlie) are playing.  Since you've accomplished your goals of mobility we have had a much happier boy on our hands. You also, very distinctly, say Dada and Mama and are working on Dog and Ball.  Big Boy!

Those dark gorgeous eyes... watch out ladies ;)
Before he dove...


Eating: still a 'no go' on much solid food.  You'll eat 2 meals at school but absolutely refuse to eat anything but cheerios and veggie sticks at home.  You scream if a spoon comes near you and you have no interest in picking up anything besides cheerios.  You're still taking 5 bottles and seem completly content by the 40 oz of milk!!! I'm giving you.  I guess all in your own time...

Sleeping: has been steady with 2 naps (9 & 3) about 2 hours each at home.  At school 2; 45min naps.  Bedtime around 7:15/7:30pm and up slightly early these days around 6:00am.

Growth: you're still topping the charts at 23lbs and tall (not sure how tall we will find out next month). You are wearing all 12-18 months clothes and in a size 4 diaper.

You have had yet another ear infection this month (that makes 4) so we are headed in this Thursday for ear tubes.  I'm praying you have as much success with them as your brother did.  He has only had 1 ear infection (age 3) since getting his at 7 months.  Prayers for the same for you.

A few moments from this great month:
