Abel Christopher | 8 months

EIGHT

How the heck do I have an 8 month old? It feels so strange when I tell people how old he is when they ask. I mean seriously where is my little squeaker that had cute little old man wrinkly skin and slept on my chest most of the day? How do I have this chunky thighed little boy that is on the verge of crawling.

My baby Abe oh how you are my favorite little person to hang out with all day. We keep ourselves busy with library & Target trips, hanging out on the floor rolling all over and having dance parties. This past month has been pretty quit with all the snow we have gotten. You are NOT a fan of snow at all. We took you outside and you disliked how bright it was and buried your little face into my neck to hide from the bright outside and cold. I feel you buddy, mama's ready for Spring as well. 

What's New

• You do not hold still, ever. Getting dressed and changing your diaper has become quite the challenge.
• You are making all sorts of new noises & mastering "mama" and "dada"
• No crawling. You roll, army crawl and find any other way to get from point a to point b
• We have started feeding you solids and you have not turned anything down yet. You are a lover of all food.
• You are starting to explore more and if you can reach it you are into it. You are my wild little boy.
• You are always a little behind on your milestone achievements but once you accomplish it you are an expert at it. 
• We taught you how to wave but you wave when you feel like it so we are working on waving when someone waves at you.
• You are still drooling like crazy and chewing on anything you can get your hands on but still no teeth.
• You are always smiles & giggles. You are generally a happy fellow and if you are upset you have a solid reason to be. 
• You're pretty good at naps and sleeping at night. You still have off days with some crap naps and a full moon disturbs a good nights rest but we are getting better at this whole sleeping thing.
• We spent your first Valentine's day chilling at home and sending daddy out for some Dunkin Donuts- our Sunday addiction.

Don't mind my drying undergarments in the background. Whoops.

 

We are yours and you are ours and it's still so hard to believe. (I know I say this every single month and I will for the rest of his life, mmmk.)

Weight: We didn't have a Doctor's appt this month but I'm guessing around 19. You have chunked up a lot since starting solids.

Loves: Rolling around on the floor in your diaper & being tossed into the air.

Dislikes: Getting your diaper changed in the middle of the night

Sleeping: about 10 hours at night waking up once toward the morning to nurse. You usually take a 2 hour morning nap and an hour afternoon nap. We try to squeeze in an evening nap but it never seems to happen.

Wearing: Size 3 in diapers & 6-9 month clothing


XOXO,
