8 Months Old

8 months old already!  New things this month...

  • You babble like crazy saying "da-da-da-da" and "nnnnaa"
  • You started army crawling a few weeks ago and are constantly on the move; you are starting to get up on your hands and knees some too, so I don't think it will be long before you're fully crawling
  • You can now go from laying on your tummy to sitting and back to crawling
  • You constantly move your hands and feet - if you're sitting your hands and feet are moving around in constant circles
  • You are a Mama's boy...you start to cry the second I'm out of your sight
  • You have 1 tooth on the bottom
  • You eat 3 solids a day and so far the only thing you don't seem to like is green beans
  • You're 27" long
  • You have a teether that is an ear of corn that you absolutely love
  • You love to go after electrical cords and immediately put them in your mouth; the more I try to keep you away from them, the more you try to go after them.
  • You've recently become attached to a comfort item...a spandex swimming shirt!  You get so excited when you see it and instantly grab hold of it, rub it on your face, and start chewing on it.
We've had somewhat of a rough month with sickness - you've had an ear infection, cradle cap, stomach bug (we think it was norovirus), and a viral rash.  With all of the illness, you haven't had as much appetite as normal, so haven't put much weight on.  You weighed 15 lb 11 oz when you went in for your ear infection, 15 lb 5 oz during the stomach bug, and 15 lb 15 oz when I took you in for your viral rash.  Your appetite is finally back, so I'm hoping you start gaining weight.  You still don't sleep through the night, usually waking at least once around 3 a.m. to eat.
