8 months old

I am 8 months old today!

Working on his crawling stance!

He loves to eat!  Last night he ate half a breadstick and loved every bite!

It won't be long before he figures out how to move!

Here is Lily at 8 months :)

Another month has already passed! What?  Little man isn't so little anymore.  He is trying very hard to move around.  He can spin around and scoot when he is sitting.  He goes from sitting to all fours, but can't figure out how to move from there yet.  This makes him frustrated.  He also doesn't like for me to leave the room.  He prefers to be in my arms all day, but that isn't possible, so he has to fuss a bit.  He still has no teeth, but I keep thinking it should be any day with as much chewing and biting he does.  He eats very well, although because he likes food so much, he doesn't want to drink bottles as well.  He still nurses or has breast milk 3-4 times a day but, in the last two weeks, we have added 1 (sometimes 2) bottles of formula.  He doesn't seem to mind.  He eats baby food and some table foods.  I let him try whatever I think he can mash in his mouth and swallow without choking.  Another great milestone was him figuring out how to pick up food and get it in his mouth by himself!  Self feedings saves me some time :)  He also says "ba-ba."  It is very cute!  Last weekend, he got in Grandma Chris' pool for the first time.  He seemed to like it.  We will have many more days there this summer.  Sleep is still not happening consistently-boo :(  Some day!!  We love you anyway cuddle bug!
