Happy 8 Months Baby Boy!

We hoped the getting tubes would help the sleep situation, but unfortunately you still wake 2-5 times a night.  You just aren’t a good sleeper.  Sometimes we can pat your bottom or rock you back to sleep, other times we feed you 1-8 ounces.  You’re just so unpredictable.  I’m trying really hard to cherish these snuggly moments because I know they’ll be gone soon. 

You eat about four, eight-ounce bottles throughout the day.  Unfortunately you don’t eat the full bottle in one sitting, you kind of graze all day.  :/  We tried baby food, but you just don’t seem very interested, so we are trying the Baby Led Weaning approach.  We dice things up real small, and you feed yourself.  You’ve had avacados, puffs, peaches, pears, fruit bars, green beans, pees, and cheerios.

You're in size 3 diapers, size 6 month onesies, and 6 or 6-9 month clothes.    You weigh about 17 pounds.

You’re pulling yourself up and crawling to everything now.  You can no longer be trusted by stairs or the dog food bowls!  Anything you find on the floor goes directly into your mouth.  You love to eat paper! :)

Three more teeth {on the top} broke through this month.  And the bottom two are fully in now.  You are constantly teething.

More firsts…you got tubes and your ears have been perfect since.  You celebrated your first Thanksgiving and lots of pre-Christmas celebrations!  



Love you so much Cully!!

Eight months!  So exciting!  You aren't quite 'crawling' but you're everywhere!  You love to roll around and army crawl to get what you want.  You're also getting on all fours and doing the back and forth movement.  I anticipate you crawling all over the place soon! 

Your top two teeth [#3 & 4] popped through this month.  They caused some sinus issues, pain, drooling and lots of nawing, but you handled it very well. 

We spent lots of time outside, in the water, and on the boat this month.  Daddy and I think you're going to LOVE the lake house soon! :)  You celebrated Grandpa Dean's 60th Birthday and had your first 'just becasuse' sleepover with Gram and Papa! :)  Also, your Auntie Isha is living with us this summer and she can't get enough of you!  You love her SO much, nobody reads you stories like her! :)
You are about 18lbs 1oz and 26" now [the same as last month!] You wear 6 month onsies and 6 or 9 month clothing, your pajamas are all 9 months now and size 2 diapers are almost too small.  We added in bananas for breakfast and you love them!  You LOVE squash, we can't give it to you fast enough! :) 

Your schedule looks something like this...8a [bottle], 10a [bananas & nap], 12p [veggies & bottle], 2p [nap], 4p [bottle], 6p [veggies], and 8p [bottle]. When you sleep you stick your butt up in the air, it's soo adorable!  Also, you only sleep around the perimeter of your crib, usually just out of sight of the video monitor! :)

Love you to the moon & back baby girl,
Mama and Daddy
