8 Months

My baby boy, you are 8 months old!  You got to go on your first family vacation to Breckenridge, CO and really seemed to enjoy it.  I would wear you in the baby carrier and you would just look around to take in all the sights!  You watched Lana play in the snow and sled.  You will be big enough soon to do those things too! 

Here is a little of what you have been up to this month:

Weight:  18-19 lbs

Diapers: Pampers size 2 or Huggies size 3

Clothes:  6-9 months and even some 12 months pants

Sleep:  Finally starting to get better at sleeping!  You won't go to sleep without someone holding you or mommy feeding you, but you sleep from about 9:00-7:00 then go back to sleep until about 10:00.  You take one nap a day usually around 2:30 or 3:00 when Lana takes her nap.  You are pretty much on the same schedule as Lana although we have started being more flexible with sister. 

Eating:  You nurse or get a bottle every 3-4 hours.  You get 4-5 ounces in your bottle when I am at work.  You take a while to eat.  I think you just like being held more than anything because you are so still and just take your time.  Well, your hands are always moving and grabbing at stuff or trying to hold my hand. 

*  You will repeat da-da-da-da after us and it is so cute!!  Still no ma-ma though. 
*  You love to watch Lana and have started to try to get into her stuff. 
*  I think you know when you are being silly, which is a lot! You really seem to try to make us laugh and smile!
*  Your first vacation was to Breckenridge with our friends the Patricks.  You did great in the car but did not sleep very good in the pack and play.  Maybe becuase we were all in the same room, but it was not good!
*  You can army crawl so fast and just started to get up on your hands and knees.  No crawling on your hands and knees though. 
*  You are pretty good at sitting up and will sit and play with a toy as long as we are down there too.  If not, you like to crawl to where we are to play. 
*  You have tried bananas, pears, apples, peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, puffs, and baby mum-mums.  I am pretty sure squash and sweet potatoes are your favorites.  You can't get eoungh of them!
*  You are so cuddly and love to be held!  This is quite the oppoosite from Lana and I am loving all the snuggle time!  You are just as happy as you can be sitting in our lap and playing. 

Little buddy boy, we are so in love with you!!
