Watch Me Grow: 8 Months

Another month has zoomed by and my baby is quickly growing up.

8 Months old already! Didn't I just have this little booger yesterday?

Big Boy rocked his adorable jean overalls for his 8-month pic and just like last month, he didn't really cooperate. These pictures are getting harder and harder to capture.

He's just too busy these days. I couldn't get him to lie on his back or sit. He goes straight for the sign, and in two seconds flat, the sign is dunzo.

I did, however, manage to finally get a pic of his two bottom teeth.

Notice he has a scratch on his nose. Total rough-houser.

Carson's 8-month stats:

Weight: 16 lbs. 11.5 oz.

In the Closet: Primarily 6-9, but most of your pants are 3-6 months, skinny boy

Diapers: Size 2, but pretty snug

Grub: Breast milk, some formula, rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, puffs, mum mums, water, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, butternut squash, carrots, apples, peaches, bananas, pears, prunes, and combinations.

Sleep: You go to bed at 8:00-8:30 and sleep 10-11 hours. Still working on getting you to nap better...

New Activity/Development: Crawling (man you are fast!), standing with support, pulling up on everything, saying da, ma and ba a lot these days, but we don't know if you really know what you're saying. 

Loves: Playing with or doing anything you aren't supposed to! Cords, Jake's bones/toys, dirty shoes, electrical outlets, vents, pulling out the filler in the house plants, climbing up the stairs. I swear...you'll have ten million toys right in front of you and you'll go for the thing that's 10 feet away and dirty.

You are all boy Carson. And man are you determined. Determined to do anything you put your little mind to.

I've been calling you bruiser lately because you seem to tumble a lot. It appears that you are just too adventurous and are trying too much...a little too early. I get the hebbie jeebies when I think about you walking, so why don't you go ahead and hold off until you're one. Mmm kay?

You are already opening drawers and cabinets, but you aren't quite pulling stuff out yet. Your little fingers will get stuck in the drawer and you'll cry until I come to the rescue. Or when you get caught standing up and can't figure out how to get back down.

We didn't know how much you would love going upside down, until we started doing it more. Daddy and I fling you around like a rag doll and you just laugh and laugh. I think you're going to love roller coasters someday.

Me and you. Front cart. With our hands up. It's a date kid.

Love you snuggle bug,
Mommy
