8 Months Newish
My whole heart. I don't know what I ever did without him. He makes every day worth waking up to and it's impossible to be in a bad mood with him around. I am really starting to see his personality shine, and although I know he's going to be a handful, I can also see how adventurous, curious, kind, bubbly, and outgoing he is turning out to be. I am so proud to be his mama.
Likes:
Walker- He chases our dog around the house and has turned into a speed demon.
Crawling- He loves his newfound mobility - he gets so proud when he reaches his destination-- he'll look at you and smile and laugh.
Solid food- We started giving him puffs in the last week or so and he is obsessed! He would eat them all day if we let him.
Bathtime- He loves splashing in the water and playing with his bath toys.
Anticipation Games- So many giggles!
Banging things to make noise, lots and lots of noise.
Dislikes:
Getting dressed
Diaper changes
Schedule:
He eats four 8 oz bottles a day with solid snacks in between. He takes a morning and an afternoon nap lasting between 30 minutes to two hours long. He goes to bed between 7-7:30 and sleeps through the night (hallelujah).
Features:
28" long, 19 lbs 14oz, blue eyes, blonde hair. He's so squishy and perfect. He has the biggest gummy smile that will melt your heart.
Milestones:
-Crawling
-Pulling up to his knees
-Pincher grasp
- Holding two toys in both hands
-Waving (not at the right time, but it's so cute to watch him practice)
-Gives open mouth kisses
Firsts:
-Real solid food (bread)
-Babysitter (woohoo!)
Challenges:
Baby proofing! Room by room we are figuring out that our previous decor style is not suitable for mobile babies. Bye bye coffee table and dining room - Hello soft ottoman and play room!
Thoughts:
Time really does fly. I have a few friends that recently had babies and I can't believe that just 8 months ago Harrison was that tiny. I remember the sleepless nights and the questions and concerns like it was yesterday, but now my baby is crawling and I get 8 hours of sleep and it happened in the blink of an eye. I'm cherishing every moment because I know all too soon he'll be a toddler and then a teenager and I want all the snuggles and giggles I can get before then.
