8 months

It's that time again Ian you are another month older.

So here it is another run down of what new and exciting things are happening.

*You get your helmet today. We will leave it at that for now.

*Baths in the big bath tub, we said goodbye to the infant tub. My cousin in-law was saying that they use a handtowel or washcloth to prevent a slippery butt. We stole the idea but will at some point remember to buy a bathmat or slip preventers for the tub.

*you are not picky when it comes to the temperature of your bottle you will take it room temp or straight from the fridge. We put the coffee cup away that we always used to warm your bottle. I have to say that is the most use our coffee cups have seen.

*you eat every 5hrs and sleep about 8.5-9hrs at night (which last night you slept for 11hrs). This month you have tried and loved nectarines and chicken (although you are very picky as to what is mixed with your chicken so we are playing around with your combos)

*you move all around in your crib (you never roll over in the crib though) and never wake up in the same position we laid you down in. You get that from your's truly:)

*drool production is at an all time high, it hasn't produced any pearly whites so far. But I heard the longer it takes for your teeth to come in the straighter they will be...oh who knows though you come from a long line of metal mouths.

*clapping, you have figured out that if you put your hands together they will make a noise. And at the sitters you discovered that if you hit your leg it too will make a noise. However Michele had to step and restrain you from anymore leg hitting as you were developing a red mark on your leg. You loved it so much.

*you went on your 1st airplane ride and you were a super duper traveler and overall adjusted really well to the time changes.

*you are really good at sitting up, yet you haven't figured out how to get yourself in the sitting position.


(I haven't figured out yet how to put the pictures from 1mos to 8mos altogther to show his growth)

I think I remind myself 10x a day that technically you just turned 7mos and don't do the samethings other babies your age do.
