8 Months

I am 8 months old already! Can you believe it. Mommy keeps saying she can't believe it and then gets a little sad. I say - "get over it - I'm getting big and it's fun!"

Some fun facts about me now that I am 8 mos old.

- This month - I have finally put all my 3-6 mo clothes away and fit nicely into my 9 mo clothes. Thanks to all those who have shared with me! I'm sure you will see me sporting your outfits in pictures soon :) (or actually right now - I am in one above)

- I am wearing size 2 diapers during the day and size 3 diapers at night

- I'm still being a bit tricky with my eating - but mommy is trying her hardest to figure it out. Here is what we are trying now...wake up - nurse, then about an hour later have cereal and some fruit. Sometimes at this point I am ready for a nap...if not I play for a while or we are out and about for a while and then I take my morning bottle. Mommy makes 4oz and I take 1.5 - 3. (See - I like to "hold out" for my nursings). Then I nap and around noon or so I have some fruit and either a veggie or a little meat/veggie mix. I play for a bit and nurse again before my afternoon nap. Around dinner time I have more cereal and another veggie and then nurse again before bedtime.

- I still like to wake up at night to eat. This is anywhere between midnight and 3:30. Mommy won't feed me if I wake up before 2...so I guess I should just sleep until then. I'm trying... Like last night I slept from 7pm until 5:30am when mommy woke me up to feed me before she went to run. See - sometimes I can do it! (actually they did let me cry a little bit at midnight - so I guess I woke up a little)

- I sit up very well and often transition to my belly and roll, roll, roll

- I've been sitting in the Johnny Jumperoo a bit more lately, but don't really "get it". It seems fun when mommy makes me jump - but am not too sure how to make that work myself

- I still have just 2 teeth

- EVERYTHING goes in my mouth

- My hair is getting thicker and filling in nicely, but no pony's yet! I still get cradle cap - which is kind of a pain. It's not too bad, but doesn't look very nice :(

- I still LOVE TV. I stare and stare at the animal movies!
