8 months old!




Weight: 
The scale at home says 17.4 lbs. I would say you are at least 17! I feel you have had the most amazing growth spurt this month (finally).


Height:
I actually tried measuring you at home, and I came up with 26.5 inches. I'd say that's pretty close give or take half an inch. 

Clothing Size:
Officially 9 month for everything! I was worried you wouldn't be able to wear Caroline's old clothes due to the different seasons you were born in, but she was so high on the growth chart and you are so low, that it's working out really well actually!

Diapers:
Size 3 - and you get horrible diaper rash no matter what brand we use!

Feeding:
You are up to 6-7 oz. 4 times a day, plus breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You really don't care for baby food, and just want the real deal now. You've tried lots of different foods and have really enjoyed all of them -even green beans and peas which you hated in baby food form!

Hair/Eyes:
Still pretty bald with random hair on the side that is growing. We just accessorize with bows.

 Sleep:
You've outgrown the rock n play, so you are finally napping in your crib. If you have your stuffed hippo to cuddle, you usually don't mind it. Sleeping through the night consistently now, except for teething.

You sit like a champ now and I don't worry about you falling over anymore. I TRY and TRY to get you to crawl, but you have ZERO interest. I put you on your tummy and you roll over or look and me and cry like I am torturing you. Not pulling up on anything yet either - but you do tolerate standing in your exersaucer and we recently started putting you in the door jumper to play. Your sister likes to twirl you in the jumper though, so we have to watch you like a hawk in it. You still love your sister like no other, and think she hung the moon!
