February 22, 2012 – 8 months old

Weight: around 19 lbs

Milestones: Holy cow where do I start. Your acid reflux is finally getting better so you are rolling all around now that it doesn’t hurt you to be on your tummy. You are so ready to start crawling and getting closer every day. You roll all around, scoot, and you can go from laying down to sitting up all by yourself (strong boy!). I put you down in one place, and I turn around and you are somewhere else. Baby on the move (hello baby proofing). You are talking all the time (SJ language of course), and you love to make lots of fun noises with your mouth. You are so smart my boy.

Teeth: You are in the process of getting 2 top front teeth. It breaks my heart to see you in pain while they come in, but man you are going to look adorable with a toothy grin.

Foods: Finally back on solids – yeah! Also since your acid reflux is getting better you have been taking down the food (and retaining it, no more massive spit ups). Pears, bananas, mangos, cheddar cheese, and today you had avocado! You also like to lick Dad’s popsicle and then chew on the stick afterwards.

Favorites: Being thrown up in the air, you love that! Playing with your tools, playing with my hair, your exersaucer (amen for this), and Max’s tennis balls.

You get more fabulous every month kid.

Love you to the moon and back,

Mom
