Baby Brody : Month 8


Age: 8 months old on February 27th

Weight: approx 20lbs...we go to the doctor at 9 months

Clothes:  12 and 18 month clothes

Sleep:  We got back on schedule this month (last month was tough) with a bedtime of 6pm and then 6am wakeup.  I'm late writing this update by a few weeks and I have already forgotten what your nap time routine was like during month 8.  You definitely don't nap more than twice a day and many days you are only taking one nap a day.  I think that is partly why you go to bed so early every night.  I have found that your sleeping habits seem to change about every 2 months or so and as soon as we have everything going great, it changes.  

 

Feeding:  You are eating pureed baby food 2-3 times a day.  You take 4 (8oz) bottles a day.  Typically at 6am, 10am, 2pm, and 6pm.   We try to eat around 730am, 1130am (but this one seems to be skipped a lot because we are out running or errands or something) and then at 4pm.  You're not a huge eater yet with the food.  Some feedings better than others, but you never seem to get really excited about it.  


Favorite Foods:
-prunes
-butternut squash
-sweet potatoes 
-bananas





Milestones:
-crawling (Feb 21st) - you got your first shiner too
-pulling up on your own (Feb 23rd) 
-ma ma, ba ba, and bye bye all came out this month -- ma ma only comes out when you are eating, so it's not really the real thing :( 
-4 teeth coming up top (2 of them have broken through) 
-Celebrated both Mom and Dad's birthdays in February
- First Plane Ride
-First Valentine's Day

  1. Such a cutie!! How is he doing at the gym daycare? I still haven't taken Miller yet- I don't know why but it makes me nervous! I know I mentioned it before but we are having the hardest time with diaper and clothing changes- he will not sit still and it's a constant fight. It's now starting to happen in the bathtub which has me freaked out that he's going to hit his head so I have to hold him down the whole time- so I feel your pain on those items.
