Eight Months

I cannot believe I will be throwing a first birthday party in four months. We have already started planning and have a lot of yard work to get done before July. We are doing a Captain America theme since his birthday is so close to the Fourth of July.

Frank must have another toothe coming in. He's been whimpering in his sleep and waking up numerous times during the night again. He also needs to be rocked to sleep which only happens when he is teething or sick. Normally, we can put him in his crib and he will talk himself to sleep.

He's 21 lbs. now. He is quickly growing out of his 9 month onesies and fits in most 12 month clothes. It seems like his once extensive wardrobe shrinks everyday. I already have two large tubs of his outgrown clothes and I am about to start a third.

This kid can eat. He's hasn't rejected any fruit or veggie yet. He gets three meals a day. Breakfast and dinner are a cereal and purée. Lunchtime he gets a two ounce purée. He is doing better with crackers but sometimes his bites are too big or he takes another bite before he is done with the previous one. This is in addition to his 30-34 ounces of formula. My son loves to eat.

No crawling yet. Frank is a champion butt scooter. And any time I sit on the floor next to him, he pulls up on me.

He talks too. The cats each have their own names. Patrick is "Dat Dit" and Paisley is "Ee Ee." He waves in the baby mirror we have in the car and says,"Dada." He calls "Mama" all the time especially when he needs food or comfort. Today Joe walked into the room and he waved and said "Hi Dada."

  1. My son loves to eat too and is the same age as yours (or very similar, he was born 27th June 2011) and likewise, I can't believe his 1st birthday is just around the corner! At least for you his birthday is in summer, for me it's the middle of winter! Not quite sure what to do about that one yet in terms of fitting everyone in our tiny 2 bedroom house!
