8 months



August 2015


similar to 7 months

Sleeping:
50/50 on whether he sleeps through or wakes up. Some teeth sleep interruptions
Mostly down to 2 naps, but sometimes 3. Staying up longer in the morning if he sleeps in more. So napping at 11 instead of 10 or even 11:30 or 12. 

Size 3 diapers, 9 month clothes



Food:
He's a food monster.  Loves to eat and consumes a lot.  We are getting screaming and grunting during meal time.  Does he want more, something different, all done??  We don't know and it's very frustrating 


Eating: everything and so much!
Added yogurt, fish, pasta, bread, cheese, shrimp, steak
Basically anything soft enough for him. 



Nursing for food every 3-4 hours. 4 hour stretches more often. (Comfort nurses in between sometimes). Much less nursing before naps. Still nurses right before bed. Often falls asleep but not always. 


He's pulling up on everything. Progressed from the low 'anywhere chairs' to the sound stage toy to finally straight up on couch. Then the gate, kitchen chairs and anything else sturdy enough. Then he started to cruise just a bit, a little shuffle step

8/15- first tooth finally breaks through!  It's been pushing its way up for weeks 



Vocalizations:
Does raspberries, screams, squeals, grunts, ma ma, da da, bah, uh duh

Belly Laughs when Claire does boo! or I blip my lips



Increased crankiness especially in afternoons. Finally figured out it was due to teething and Tylenol helps bring back our happy guy.
