8 Month Recap

Here are the stats: 21.5 pounds and 30 inches. His growing has tapered off these last few months perhaps because, drum roll please....HE SLEEPS!!! We went from waking up every 2-3 hours to eat (for EIGHT months) to all of the sudden one night (February 13th, thank you very much Mom & Dad who babysat that night) sleeping eleven hours straight ever since. Yes, I do believe month 8 has been my favorite so far. :)

He is getting close to pulling himself up to standing, and enjoys walking around holding onto our hands. This month door stops and drawers are a source of endless fascination. He got his two bottom teeth and this has not been pleasant for mom who is still trying to breastfeed. We also started him on proteins and I think he is going to be a meat and potato guy like his daddy. He babbles and smiles and sings, so much so that I often get comments in stores that he is going to be a singer. Not sure where this chatterbox came from with such quiet parents. He also got his first haircut a la mom.

This could seriously provide 20 minutes of straight entertainment.

Ladies take note- muscles and music.

Benjamin (8 months) and Aiden (1 year). Aiden's mommy and Ben's mommy went to Linfield together and it was so fun to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon with their family.
