8 months



I love his crooked little smile in the photo above. Just humoring momma with this endless photo-taking!

Let's see. At 8 months:

Has 2 teeth, bottom middle
Has very little interest in drinking a bottle. Would much prefer to have cereal. We're down to four 6 ounce bottles a day (all of which he doesn't usually drink.)
Is soooo very close to crawling. Just doesn't know what to do with his hands. He gets up on all fours and rocks, but usually ends up going backwards.
Has gotten through all the veggies (carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans and peas) and is working on fruits (applesauce, bananas, pears, peaches, mango) and combo veggies (sweet potatoes and corn).
Is babbling more. Says what I think sounds like momma.
Sits up very well, but has taken a couple of tumbles.
Takes 2 naps daily lasting anywhere from 90 minutes to 4 hours!
Is trying to pull himself up on things, like the bathtub or pant legs.
Loves to pull on Ranger and Tucker's ears. Ranger endures it but Tucker is another story.
Is ticklish under his chin and arms, as well as his feet and upper legs.
Loves to be bounced or tossed in the air.
Loved swinging.
Has had all his shots (got his 2nd flu shot on the 16th.)
Still sleeps for the commute (thank God)
Is into trucks.
Can go from sitting up to leaning over onto his tummy to grab something back to a sitting position (3-31-09)
Is still wearing mostly 6 month stuff from Carter's and size 3 Luvs.
Brings a smile to our face every.single.day!
