8 months old

Treyson is 8 months old today! Seriously, I get sadder and sadder with each passing month knowing that my baby is slipping away from baby-ness and into toddler-hood. I actually realized I didn't post a 7 month update. So alot has changed since the 6 month update.

• He is eating 6 oz every 3 hours



• He sleeps 11-12 hours at night (except last night, he slept 13!! Definitely a welcome surprise!)



• He naps 2 times (morning and afternoon) for 1.5 hours each





• He eats cereal with fruit for breakfast, cereal with veggies for lunch, and jar of fruit and veggies for dinner (stage 2)





• He eats puffs, wagon wheels, and yogurt melts for snacks





• He moves forward in his walker!





• He is army crawling very quickly throughout the house





• He is crawling like a normal crawl (as of last night)

• He weighs 21 pounds



• He can pull up into a standing position and stand for quite a while



• He drinks water out of a sippy cup



• He squeals alot



• He giggles alot



• His sister can make him laugh the most when they're riding in the car



• He and Anniston hold hands in the car



• He sleeps with a lovey or a small taggie blanket



• He is starting to eat some adult food (crackers, bananas, carrotts-steamed)



• He still has 2 teeth



• He continues to drool like crazy



• He is a GREAT car rider, and especially great at falling asleep in the PM and not waking up when we get home and transfer him to his crib



• He is almost IMPOSSIBLE to change a diaper on. He wiggles all over the place, and we're constantly having to flip him over to get a diaper strapped onto him!



• He says "dada" all the time. Jerry was out of town 2 weeks ago, and I worked with him the entire time on "dada" and he finally said it the evening that Jerry returned!! Practice, practice, practice!!!!



• His favorite fruit is bananas; his favorite veggie is corn and sweet potato combination



• He loves to be around Anniston. He is just fascinated with her. And she loves to "mommy" him. This morning, she's been reading books to him and if he wimpers the least bit, she'll run to his room to get him a new toy. It's very sweet. Here's a picture I took this morning. I was trying to get the kids to look at me and smile, but Treyson spotted Anniston's hair in a pony tail and was going in for the grab when I snapped this shot. Anniston is so great about this though. Right after I took the picture, Treyson fell over latched onto her hair. Anniston just laid there and waited for me to peel his little fingers out of her hair. She never gets ugly with him or screams at him (which is what I would be tempted to do if I were 2 and somebody pulled my hair!!).

By the way, Anniston is in panties only because she has been playing dress-up all morning. In fact, it's now 12:30 and Treyson is the only one dressed in play clothes. I'm still in jammies, and Anniston is napping now with her panties on. That's just how we roll!

Here is the little guy in action. He sees that Anniston left her high heels with pink fur laying out (definitely a mistake). That is looking like a snack to this chubby boy!!Treyson, we love you so much. We have a feeling that we might be posting about some walking in the next month. That makes Mommy and Dadoo sad little man! You're growing up way too fast! You and your sister put an instant smile on our faces. We can't imagine our world without you in it!
