8 Months

At 8 months:
~Weigh 21 pounds (According to our scale)

~You wear size 3 diapers. Except at night. You wear Size 4 Overnight protection. We got tired of changing the sheet in the middle of the night!

~ Wearing size 6-9  and 12 month clothing.

~Wearing size 2-3 shoes

~Sleeping. This has gotten ALOT better. You usually go to bed at 9 pm and wake up around 7 am.

~Bottle every 4 hours, drinking 6 oz.
~You are eating rice cereal with mixed fruits (5 oz) in the mornings, 4 oz of fruits and veggies in the afternoon and cereal, veggies and fruits (6 oz)  in the evenings. Your favorite is still sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon and nutmeg. So far you only really dislike potatoes... Hopefully we can fix this because Mommy cooks ALOT of potatoes.
~ You have started eating a very small amount of table food. You have had spaghetti, rice casserole, french fries, and nutrigrain bar.  

~Napping- You usually take an hour nap in the mornings and a two hour nap in the afternoon.  

 ~You were sick with the stomach bug for 9... yes, NINE days! Through it all, you were a happy baby. Not yourself, but content. 


~You are still in love with your puppy. You will roll and get his ball. Then squeak it and watch for him to come. 

~You love paper, cords, bowls, whisks, and spoons. 

~You still love music. When you are upset in the car, I put on Favorite Nursery rhymes and you will stop crying. 

~You love TV. I think you would sit and watch it all day if I would let you. It does make it nice for cooking. 

~You love to take things in and out of buckets, especially the sensory balls.

~You enjoy playing with Mommy's necklaces, particularly the lanyard I wear at work.

~Love kids and are trying to "play" with them.
 

~You are rolling EVERYWHERE. Your teachers call you Roly Poly and say they have never seen anything like it. :) I think you are getting interested in crawling because you are starting to put you legs underneath you. Now getting that belly off the ground might be difficult.

~You are wanting to pull up on things but aren't quite sure how to do it.

~Went to your first pumpkin patch.
