8 Months Old!

Our big guy is 8 months old! And yes, he is a big guy. And he loves to eat. All the time. Whatever we send his way. Baby food, toddler meals, adult meals. He's ready to eat it all! Oh yeah, and he still loves to nurse too. So there's that. But no watermelon. It's literally the ONLY food he has ever spit out.

Still no teeth. Still no crawling.

He's wearing 12 month clothes predominately. The occasional 18 month outfit and he has a few 6-12 month items that still fit. Size 4 diapers.

Still a happy dude almost all the time.

His sleep habits aren't as awesome as they once were. He's struggling to take long enough naps to sustain him all the way to a reasonable bedtime and he ends up crashing for the night around 5. And most nights, as of late, he has been waking up sometime around midnight for a little late night party for about an hour and then going back to bed. He's been waking up for the day around 4:30 or 5. We are WELL aware around here that time changes were not invented by parents of young children.

He has started to shake his head "no" but not with any real desire to communicate, just because it seems to be be a new discovery. He loves it when Mommy or Daddy use their finger to make his lips make the "bluhb-bluhb" sound. (Have you ever tried to describe that?!)

He is the most loved little man.
