Chance at 8 months old:
- He is finally showing some initiative to crawl. He has always hated tummy time, but he is now leaning forward on his hands from a sitting position and rocking. He tries to get out of reach toys but usually ends up falling on his face.
- He has 1 tooth. I thought they always came in pairs, but I've been proven wrong. He has had this one tooth for a couple weeks and its pair is nowhere to be seen.
- He is eating all pureed foods and cheerios, puffs, baby crackers, or anything that is easy to gum.
- He will not drink out of a sippy cup (or bottle). He just likes to chew on it.
- He is now sleeping unswaddled (yay!!). I have worried about this for months, but he just decided he was done with it and has been sleeping just fine. I can't really comment on sleeping for this month because he's been sick and sleeping with me. I might have created a different sleeping obstacle with that one.
- He still loves his big brother and thinks he is just the greatest. I can't wait to see what it will be like when he can actually follow Bentley around. I'm not sure Bentley will like that so much.
- He always wakes up happy and would stay that way all day if all I did was hold him. Anytime I walk by him or look at him on the floor he will reach his arms up to me and it just melts my heart.
And because I never posted his 7 month pictures:
first picture--so cute. one of my all time favorites. and, i can't believe he is getting so big. i loved when amelia slept with us for those four months. eek. you and i and our sleep/paci issues :)
