Sam- 8 months

Sam was 8 months old on July 25th!




A few things about our little guy:

*We have not been back to the doctor for weight/height, but he's probably around 15-16 lbs,, maybe 26-27 inches long. Still wearing size 2 diapers, 6-9 month clothes
*On his 8 month birthday, he decided he'd try out this whole crawling thing! And in just 3 days, he's gotten pretty good. At first, he wouldn't get his belly up, but last night, he actually got off the ground and was on all fours. It's happening fast! Guess it's time to put away all the little pieces of Will's toys.
*Still no teeth, but lots of drool!
*Unfortunately, little man is still waking up at least once during the night. I mentioned it in his 7 month post. He started about a month and a half ago when we stopped swaddling. Last night, for example, he was asleep at 8:30, woke up at 3 (put the paci back in), woke up at 4:30 (put the paci back in), and 5:30 (fed a bottle). He went back to sleep until about 6:30. So I get good sleep for about 5 hours :( This will NOT be fun when school starts back next week.
*Some favorite baby foods right now: AVOCADO is #1 for sure, bananas, squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, watermelon, and cantaloupe. Usually, I just look at the produce I have and see what I need to use up before it goes bad. Then I just throw it in the Baby Bullet- love that thing. A new one this week- eggplant. He hasn't had it yet, but we'll see how it goes.
*Drinking pretty well from a sippy cup (water). Likes puffs and can almost get them to his mouth. Has eaten some yogurt and little rice biscuits.
*Usually takes two 1 1/2 hour naps and then a short 30 min nap around 5 or 5:30.
*Takes about 5-6oz breastmilk in bottles 6 times a day. Eats breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes some puffs or a rice biscuit for an afternoon snack.
*Now that he sits up pretty well by himself, we have started bathing the boys together. By the time we're done, the bathroom is pretty much flooded and I'm soaking wet!
*He loves swimming in the lake/pool in his float!
