I am 8 months old now! Mom weighed me and I'm right at 23 pounds! (Joey weighed himself too and he is 32.5 pounds! That's 9.5 pounds difference between us! Holy Chunky Monkeys!!!) I'm also getting some more teeth. I have the bottom left and top left in the front, and then the top and bottom right are also sort of poking through. I feel like the one next to my top left is also coming in...that's about 5 teeth that I'm working on right now. I've been doing pretty good with it though, however I'm still waking up a lot at night.
With my new chompers I have been working on eating better. I usually eat a baby food/cereal mix for breakfast and then some veggies right before bed. I still nurse to sleep, but sometimes I wake up and don't fuss when mom puts me in bed. That's an improvement! I'm also getting the hang of my pincher's too. I have been picking up puffs and cheerios but sometimes I can't get them in my mouth and get very frustrated. I also like to eat crackers and lil' crunchers, and biscuits. Those are easier to get in my mouth though!
I'm also working on walking. Mom puts me in my walker down in the basement and I run all over. It is one of my favorite things to do right now. I can even stand on my own outside of the walker as long as someone balances me a little bit. Usually mom puts her hands under my elbows and I just stand for a minute. I can't wait to walk on my own. I even made it all of the way from the living room to Joey's room walking with mom holding my hands. (forget about crawling, I still flip right over when mom puts me on my tummy)
The last thing that I have been working on is talking. Until recently I have been saying "aahhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhh" and that's about it. Now I've added a "thhh" sound and dah-dah (close to dada, but I don't recognize the name with my daddy yet). So, that's a few new sounds, but no talking other than that. Oh, I can make kissy smacks with my lips and a 'fish' face with my lips too.
This week the fun event was finger painting! Mom made us pudding to finger paint with. It was goopy and messy, just the way I like it! I think she is still cleaning chocolate pudding off of my chair and wall!
That's about all for right now. The weather is really cold now so I think mom is going to finally take it easy and stay home for most of the week!
Have a good one and bundle up!
