7-8 months



We missed 7 months due to life being crazy busy, so this is sort of a combination of what he is now doing. We had a doctors appointment at eight months to get his reflux medicine renewed and he weighed 19lbs 8 oz. They didn't measure him, but I'm sure he's still a shorty!

He has learned so much lately. It seems as though he wakes up each day with a new skill. He's adjusting to the move pretty well. He's been pretty clingy lately, but that's nothing too out of the ordinary for him.

-He can army crawl quite fast
-He can pull himself up onto everything and can hold on one handed and bounce
-Can move between two pieces of furniture while standing
-He waves bye
-Loves to give kisses and "Loves" where he likes to nuzzle into your shoulder with his head.
-He signs eat and more
-Can go from sitting to crawling and back again
-Loves going on walks
-Can walk (slowly) while holding onto someones hands
-Plays peek-a-boo with his blanket while in his stroller. He thinks he is so funny and so do we!
-Loves the mother goose record my mom has, and his favorite song is Hometown Band
-Loves food! He will eat pretty much anything you give him. He has yogurt and fruit every morning and Loves it!
-Loves to feed himself finger foods.
-Can do a pincer grasp
-Hates being by himself
-Doesn't like his crib at all...even though I bought him this cool musical aquarium thingy.
-Loves his sippy cup
-He loves to throw stuff on the ground to have you pick it up for him
-Is still breastfed
-Co-sleeps
-Can sleep through takeoff and landing of plane rides
-His favorite book is Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? He even laughs at it!
-Loves his lady bug jumper/exersaucer
-Has had 3 haircuts now
-We still get stopped everywhere we go by people commenting on how much hair he has and how cute he is
-Loves to sit in grocery carts and wave to people as we pass by.
-Wears size 3 diapers
-Fits in clothing 3-6 months to 6-9 months
-Loves remotes and cell phones
-Babbles all the time. He has said mama twice now but mostly says dada and baba
-Is constantly making his grandpas animal noises where his sucks air in and makes these funny noises. He likes to practice in the middle of the night and when he wakes up in the morning.
-Is getting good at playing his drum.
-Loves to mimic things that you do and noises that you make.
-Loves to make people laugh and smile. It makes him so proud.

He is the sweetest baby I have ever met, and I've met a lot of babies. His personality is so silly. I think he is going to be quite the jokester!
