Eight Months

Happy 8 months Carter! Only 4 more months to go until your first birthday. These months are really going by too fast.  It has been so fun to watch your personality emerge more this month.  You are loved little man!

 

 

BABY STATS:

Weight:

17  lbs

Length:

26.75 in

Hair Color:

I think its starting to turn more blond but it has a red tint still.

Eye color:

Still blue but they are changing.

Diaper Size: Still in size 3.  I put you in Liam's size 4 from time to time so I know the switch will be soon.

Clothes Size: I can't believe that I have started putting you in 12M pajamas at bedtime! You have been wearing 6M clothes but I put a 9M onesie on you this morning.  You fit it perfectly so it's time to pack up everything 6M this week.

Nicknames: Tarter

 

Sleep: You are still sleeping through the night.  I stopped dreamfeeding you at 10:00 PM this week so you sleep from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM in your crib, in your room. You take three naps a day that are at least an hour in length.

Eat:  You are still nursing but getting solids also.  We give you a little purees but you are a champ at eating dinner with us.  I gave you a piece of the pot roast I made last night and you loved it. 
 

Daily Routine: Wake up, Play, Eat, Nap.  Repeat until bedtime.

 Funniest moment: You and Liam were playing this morning.  Liam had a basket on his head and you would hysterically laugh every time he took it off.  I couldn't help but laugh with you guys too.

Milestone: You said "Mama!"  The morning of October 30th, you just started saying it over and over.  I beat your Dad!
You started giving kisses last week.  We ask you for kisses and you open your mouth and stick your bottom lip out to kiss us.  You are too cute!
We went to Disneyland on your first Halloween.  It was a lot of fun taking you boys for the first time.  You spent most of the day in the Emeibaby.  You were so content all day but it really wore you out.

 

 

 

 

You stood for three seconds all by yourself yesterday!  Your Dad is still convinced you will walk by 9 months.

 

Likes:  You love shaking your head "No."  You will copy us if we do it first but will do it randomly all through out the day.
You love your Mama.  You will crawl up and want to cuddle with me whenever you start getting close to nap time.  If your Dad tries to hold you, and you can see me,  you fuss until you are in my arms.
You love sucking your thumb.  You sooth yourself with it and it's your go to when you start getting sleepy.

 

 

 You love wrestling with your brother.  You will crawl all over him and laugh!
 

Dislikes:  You still aren't a fan of diaper changes.  You are just too busy to sit still long enough for us to change you so we have to distract you with toys when we change you.
 

Firsts:

First "Mama"
First Disneyland Trip
First time standing alone
First Halloween
