Eight Months Old



Davis is sleeping mostly 13-15 hours in a 24 hour period. He has started waking up to eat late at night but will usually go right back to sleep. He nurses and bottle feeds four times a day: first thing in the morning, after both naps, and before bed. He eats solids three times a day. He barely nurses for any significant amount of time :( Morning naps are very consistent, the usually last 1 1/2 to 2 hours and the afternoon naps are anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 1/2. We start our bedtime routine at 1830 with a bath and he knows it is time to start unwinding.

Here are tidbits about Davis this month:
  •  Weighs around 16 pounds. Wears 6-9 months clothes.
  • Loves solids: introduced to asparagus, green beans, white potatoes, peaches, puffs and cottage cheese


  • In a week's span he figured out how to move his hands forward to all out crawling!
  • Now that he is crawling and into more stuff everything, we have to say "No!" to him particularly for playing with cords, paper and the electronics.  
  • Is very busy when playing, he is in a different spot every time I get a picture
 
  • Adores Bella....cannot say she feels the same way. Bella is very timid around him
  •  Has a new look....we call it the Zoolander look!

  • Sounds like he says. "huh" when looking for Mommy or Daddy or trying to figure something out
  • Loves going to church and will sing along with the music. 
  • In the car, will tilt his head back to stare at us
  • I compare changing his diaper to wrestling an alligator, he immediately wants to flip over and move away.
  • Loves baths. started sinking down into the water until it is up to his chin and loves splashing in the water, playing with bath toys, and staring at his reflection.
