So here we are again, another month later and I STILL can't believe how quickly our little boy is growing up! It is so amazing to watch him discover and learn new things everyday, but can the months please stop flying by??!!!!
We don't go back to the doctor until next month, so yippee for no shots again this month!! I do have an update on Brayden's weight though...he is now 22 pounds. Our big, healthy boy!
Clothes Size: Still 12 months
Diapers: Still size 4
Updates from the past month:
- Brayden still loves sitting up, playing with his toys, and watching Bailey dog. He can almost get himself up into the sitting position on his own now too.
-Brayden is still a rolling machine! He doesn't like laying still anymore either, which makes diaper changes and getting dressed very interesting, haha.
-Brayden continues to smile and talk all the time! He now says "ya-ya" all the time and even "da-da" every so often. He is also getting much louder! :)
-Brayden also loves to stand up and be propped up against the couch or the coffee table. He is also starting to take steps now when we hold his hands to "walk" him.
-Brayden is starting to laugh more and more, but still not on a regular basis...hopefully soon though. His laughs are heartwarming!
-Brayden is also eating lots of baby food now, including avocado, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, broccoli, pears, apples, banana, prunes, rice cereal, and oatmeal. He still loves avocado and sweet potatoes, plus he seems to really like carrots, apples with oatmeal, bananas, and apples/prunes combo.
Sleep habits (for now....):
-Wake time is around 6:30 or 7am
-Brayden takes two naps a day (typically 9:30am and 2:30pm) which average about 1.5 hours.
-Bedtime is 7:30pm
-Brayden still sleeps on his side or tummy for the most part.
What is next:
-More laughing...can't ever get enough of those belly laughs!
-More "talking". Maybe "mama" soon?! :)
-More "talking". Maybe "mama" soon?! :)
-Some more foods...up next is strawberries and zucchini.
-Brayden now pushes himself onto his knees and rocks back and forth. He can even moves one leg and one arm before belly flopping! So we might have a crawling baby soon! Hopefully we will hold off on the walking for a while though...I am not ready to be chasing after a little one yet!!
Welcome to eight months! We are overwhelmed with love for you Brayden!
