Here's a few pictures from the last 8 months... he sure is getting longer huh? I couldn't get a good one with him smiling for his 8 month picture. He's teething, and it was his nap time. Oh well!
A few things he's done this month:
He has 2 teeth! His 1st tooth came in as his bottom front right on 6/10, and his second one came in right next to it on 6/16. I am pretty sure the top ones will be coming in soon, because he has been up at least once per night almost every night for the last week. He is also going thru a growth spurt! I weighed myself, and then him on the scale today. It said he was almost 19 pounds... but I'm thinking that's wrong... I just don't think he's that heavy! I guess we'll find out next month at his 9 month appt!
He's a big eater! He LOVES to eat!
He's still nursing 5-6 times per day. He also has cereal with fruit and veggies 3 times per day. He LOVES bananas! Like, LOVES. He also likes squash, peas (canned or cooked frozen), carrots (canned), couscous, oatmeal cereal, blueberries, prunes, pears, apples, sweet potatoes... the list goes on! He really prefers the sweets, but we're working on the veggies. He still kinda gags on cheerios, but he does like puffs, and Rice Krispies.
He's a momma's boy! He is very attached, and would like for me to hold him a lot of the time!
He's VERY good at his tummy time. He rolls around, and can crawl BACKWARDS, and roll every where. He rolled out of the room, to where I freaked out because I couldn't find him, just the other day! He can get around pretty quickly for not being able to crawl!
He can sit up quite well, it's just when he decides to fling himself back excessively hard that we have a problem. Yup, he still does that!
He adores his big sister, and will sit and watch her and giggle at her when I'm trying to nurse him. There are several times where I just have to have her go else where so that I can feed him. He won't pay attention when she's around!
He waved back at Grama for the first time the other day! We are working on waving, and certain signs for sign language.
He is taking 2 naps per day, and they are 1 1/2 to 2 hours each.
His bedtime is still right around 7:30 each night.
Madilyn is 3, and a GREAT helper! She's just such a sweet big sister. She has started dance classes at the dance studio that is about 3 or 4 blocks from our house. It's 1x per week for about 45 minutes. She's adorable! She poses, and dances around, and then of course demonstrates it for me after class. She LOVES it! She's a very good listener, and is doing quite well. Yesterday she fell and hurt her tailbone, but she bounced back quickly (no pun intended) and she's back to her happy self today.
She loves her brother so much, but we do have to remind her to be gentle. She doesn't quite know her strength. She is starting to get upset, because Levi is starting to get into her toys. We try to have the rule (for now) that if she doesn't want him holding a toy he has, she has to bring him something else to play with before she takes it away. We'll have to come up with something different I am sure when he gets older.
Well, I was going to write more, but I have dinner to clean up, a baby with a poopy diaper, and a 3 year old who wants juice.... till next time!
God bless!
God bless!
