8 Months Old

Started riding in buggies when shopping.

Getting too heavy to carry him around in the carrier, so we are using the stroller more and he gets to sit like a big boy.

One more tooth came in - total of 7 now.

Up on hands and knees shaking his booty. Crawling is in our near future!

He prefers to be on the ground getting into everything rather than confined in the jumperoo or exersaucer.

His baths are now in the big inflatable duck rather than the baby bath tub.

He is not a great sleeper! Whew! This month he is trying to kill us! Not to mention he has had a runny nose for like 2 weeks now!

I am weaning him off of nursing (I am kinda having a hard time letting go). He was just not really showing much interest in it anymore and seemed to prefer the bottle. I think the bottle is easier and he has gotten smart enough to know that now!

Sleeps from about 7:30/8pm - 7/7:30am. Wakes up once to feed in the 5am hour but we tend to hear him wake up throughout the night more often than that. He is taking 2 naps a day. The morning one is usually on the go and pretty short. His afternoon one is getting longer(YAY!) and I am trying to keep it consistent with S's quiet time. Occasionally, if I am out and about in the evening before dinner, he'll fall asleep in the car for a short cat nap.

Eats breakfast, lunch and dinner with us. Takes a bottle at 5am, 10am, 3pm and 7:30pm.

He has also started eating puffs without getting too choked on them!

As far as toys go, he has a tendency to prefer trucks and balls and generally things that make a lot of noise.

He is still fascinated with his sister and wants to be doing what she is doing!!

Loves to make noise! He will sit in his highchair and bang his sippy cup along the side of it as loud as he can and thinks it is hysterical!! Boys!!:)

Even at this age, he is trying to get into things more than S did. By this I mean, he is going to be into EVERYTHING in a couple months! He's already going for the wall sockets and trying to open up the entertainment center cabinets. S to this day has not tried to do either of those things!! Better start re-babyproofing!
