8 Months

Well, now that Braden is almost 9 months old, I'm finally getting around to posting his 8 month information. 8 months has been challenging for Mommy. Braden started crawling and it seems as though he went from being my sweet little angel baby, to a little stinker overnight.

Here are some things he does at 8 months:

* 4 bottles a day - about 24 oz total
* 3 meals (started at 6 months, but has changed amounts)
breakfast - rice cereal or oatmeal mixed with 1/2 jar of 2nd foods fruit
lunch - 1 jar of 2nd foods vegetables with the other 1/2 of his fruit
dinner - 1 jar of 3rd foods meals
* loves Gerber puffs and crunchies
* LOVES ice cream and cinnamon bread
* usually just takes 1 longs nap a day (approx. 2 hours)
* sleeps from 8:30-6:00 each night
* sits up very well and plays toys
* claps and tries to say "Yay!"
* crawls all over the place
* gets into everything except his own toys
* loves bath time, but doesn't much care for playing in the water outdoors
* adores Kagen and follows him all over the place
* is very interested in Taylor
* is a Daddy's boy (says "dada")
* pulls up to his knees all of the time, but I've only seen him get to his feet twice

He has a 9 month well baby visit on July 11th, so we'll post his stats then. He's a big boy with little feet!


Watch out brother, here I come!
