Someone turned 8 months old on Friday and I think he's pretty stoked about it!
Weight/Height: He hasn't been weighed or measured in a little while, and his next doc appointment isn't until 9 months but I think he is about the same weight as before... 22ish pounds. He has been movin' & groovin' like crazy so I don't think he's packing on much weight these days. I could be wrong though! We'll see next month.
Clothes: Still in all 12 month clothes.
Sleep: He slept through the night for the first time last night! But I'm certainly not holding my breath on that... overall, he has been waking once & just needs a little hug and kiss and he falls right back to sleep. So I do think he is getting closer/ready for sleeping all the way through. Which for him is around 6:30pm to 6:30am. He's also down to 2 naps a day, lasting about an hour each. Sometimes his morning one will last two hours but then his afternoon will only be like 30 min.
Feeding: Still nursing like a champ! He gets breakfast, lunch, & dinner with some snacks when he feels like it. He nurses about 4 times a day still, once when he wakes up, one after his 1st nap, then another have his 2nd nap, and then right before bed.
Likes: His grandma (Vince's mom) got him a wood push toy for Christmas and he loooves it! He loves walking around the kitchen on the hardwoods cause he can go faster there than on the carpet. It has caused a few bumps but he's such a tough kiddo.
Dislikes: He is still not loving the car.. unless he is snacking. I feel ya, True.
Milestones: He has 7 teeth! He can crawl, stand with support, and walk with support. He isn't quite coordinated enough yet to do the standing or walking on his own but he sure is fearless and tries to anyway.. which explains all his bumps and scratches.
Events: First Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas and it's true what they say that it is way more fun with kids involved. Even though he was still too young to fully grasp what was going on it was so fun to watch everything through his eyes. He loved the Christmas tree! And did a pretty good job at not attacking it too often. We made sure to get a sturdier stand this year so it wouldn't topple over on him.
Happy New Year to y'all! And we hope you all had a wonderful holiday. xo
He is so precious!! Miller didn't sleep through the night the first time until he was 8 months old and didn't do it consistently until over a year old but would do it I'd say 4-5 nights a week before then. Hopefully Truett will keep sleeping for you!
