Boo Bear,
Wow! 8 months old. You are a pure joy to be around these days. Everyone loves your sweet eyes and just this week I was told “you smile with your eyes.” That was a wonderful compliment for you. You are almost crawling. You scoot backwards and turn in circles to get where you need to go, and you have just started pushing up on your knees for small amounts of time. Life will sure change around here when you are moving! You take 2 naps each day ranging from 1-2 hours. This is a great change! You take your first nap at 9:30 and your second one around 1-:30-2:00. This new nap schedule means we can plan our days out nicely and you are awake for lunch dates that I like to take you on. You were sleeping 12 straight hours at night for a few weeks, but are back to waking up once around 4am for a bottle and then back down ‘til 6:30 or so. This is a just fine schedule with me. I love our early morning snuggle and feeding. You are starting to eat 3 meals a day. We usually do oatmeal and a fruit in the morning around 8:30, lunch around 1 with a fruit, and dinner about 5:30 with a veggie. You have liked most foods we’ve given you, but you don’t like peas, carrots, or bananas. You are almost done with your DOC Band! You have done great during these 7 weeks and we are so happy your are getting it off earlier than the 10-12 estimated weeks. You’re head looks just perfect! You still have your 6 teeth and I’m just waiting for more to appear. Your teeth make you look so much older!
Soon you will be on the move and I can’t wait to see what else will change for you this next month.
I love you little bean.
