8 Months!

Daniel is 8 months old!!!! When did that happen???
His stats:
Weight: 18 lbs 5oz
Height: 26 inches
 



I can't believe my baby is already 8 months old! Time is flying by way too fast. He is learning so much though and is such a busy boy. He is such a curious boy and is getting to be so much fun now that he is playing more and doing more. He loves to be in the middle of everything and is such a great "helper". We love having him around for all of our activities and watching him follow us around the house. He is such a sweet little boy and is happy the majority of the time! We just love him!

- Daniel is doing the army crawl now and he is super fast! He can get onto his hands and knees and rock back and forth but when he wants to get somewhere he drops onto his belly and just goes. Its crazy to see how fast he is. He loves cords, tags and socks. If he sees one of those things he moves with determination to put it in his mouth and play with it. Unfortunately we have hidden all of the cords but the face he makes when he sees one being put out of reach is super cute.

- He is wearing size 3 diapers (they're a little big but the 2's couldn't get him through the night anymore). He is wearing mostly size 6 month clothes but some stuff is 6-9 months. 

- He loves being around people for right now. He is very social and loves to smile and play. He really loves anyone who will pay him attention. 

- He is eating solids now like crazy! So far he likes green beans, carrots, banana, pears, sweet potatoes and peaches. He has had peas but doesn't really like them so much.

- He still enjoys bath time and he also really likes being naked. Lately he starts to get upset while he is getting dressed but he is fine once the clothes are on.

-Daniel still does pretty well in the car. Now that he is more mobile he does have issues with trips over 2 hours. Once he hits 2 hours he starts to get a little fussy and we just have to remind him that we're still here. He gets frustrated that he can't move but its funny because if one of us goes back there with him then he's fine to be in the seat. Maybe he's lonely? Either way he is silly. 

- He has a crazy sense of humor. He will laugh at anything. Lately he starts laughing if we just say his name in a funny voice and look at him with funny faces. He also starts laughing like crazy if we play peekaboo while he is on the changing table.

- He is still sleeping through the night (about 10 to 11 hrs) like a champ! I love that he is such a great night time sleeper, it makes life so much easier for us.

- Daniel got his first tooth during Christmas which is fun. He wasn't too bad during that process, just a little cranky but nothing a little extra cuddling wouldn't fix. I think he has another one coming in but it hasn't come through yet. He is chewing on everything again.

- He loves books, music, going out, going for walks, cords, string, the color red, being swaddled for bed but not naps and mommy and daddy. (My new favorite thing is that when we come home, he starts to crawl towards the door to say hi with a big smile on his face)

- He doesn't like getting dressed, being too hot, peas or the Sound of Music soundtrack (seriously he cries every time we turn it on).

Sometimes I have to trap him so I can get stuff done....he ignores the toys and tries to escape


I love this pose



His "you caught me" face






He loves to eat feet...anyone's if we would let him...but mostly his
