my baby is now 8 months

8 months

Sleep: Praise the lord my child still is sleeping through the night!! (and i am so very thankful for this too because mama loves her sleep). We are doing good with a napping schedule too. Miles struggles with the last late afternoon one but i know he is tired. I don't think he is ready to loss that one either.

Best Moments: Watching my baby crawl for the first time!! yeah yeah i know now he can get into everything (and he does) but it is a pretty awesome thing watching him learn how to figure things out!  

He is always putting a smile on our faces, the boy is so silly.

I also love love watching Miles and Brad together. Miles just loves his daddy (pretty sure his first word are going to be dada). Its so cute the way Miles just lights up when Brad comes home from work. Miles eyes get big when the garage door opens, makes my heart melt.

Worst Moments: I would say it was a worst moment but some days, well they just feel like they are never going to end and 5:30pm can not come any sooner.

Eating: Miles is eating 3 solid food meal a day (hes an eating machine) and so far not picky at all.

This month we have tried: applesauce, spinach, cantaloupe, cauliflower, mashed potatoes, apricots, pears, beets, and honeydew

Health: he is one chunky lil boy and so grateful for his good health

Teeth: we have TWO bottom teeth in now

Things about Miles.

he is a crawling machine!! (first week of Aug)

loves to stand.

does well with strangers most of the time (usually makes sure he can see me and then 

stares down the person)

still love to hits things (maybe he will be a drummer) ha

now that he has found his voice, he likes to yell (dad calls him the Hulk)

he like his jumpy thing (if you jump with him 

he thinks thats just the greatest)

he does better playing by himself (bonus for me when trying to get dinner done)

** he makes the funniest faces **

 

 

 

 

 

 

7 big ones!!

7 BIG ONES!!

This is how are morning started...this is the reason why mommy did not get pics done!

sleep: I am so lucky that Miles sleeps through the night. (Mommy really really appreciates)

Within the last 2 months Miles has gotten on a somewhat schedule during the day and is doing pretty well on it. Besides the first early morning nap, Miles pretty much sleeps in his crib now (another thing mommy appreciates) He actually prefers and does better when I put him down for his naps in the crib. He usually put himself to sleep too!! aww such a good boy he is.

best moments: When dad comes home because Miles is SO SO happy to see his daddy. They have their special time when daddy goes up stairs to change out of his work clothes. I can hear Miles screaming laughing while Brad is playing with him, make my heart melt. I also enjoy my morning hugs. I never was much of a morning person ( you kinda have to be once you are a mom) but I look forward to getting up to that smiling face (even if it is 4 am)

worst moments: when Miles is whinny and nothing is making him happy.

eating: we started Miles on solids a little after he turned 6months. First thing when made was yummy peas. When had the camera ready and the video going but he never made a face or anything. He did seem to like them though. Then he had carrots (not sure he cared for those but it might have been the texture, I don't think I made them smooth enough for him). Next he ate sweet potatoes and bananas. He never makes a face and he eats all of it.

health: he's a good healthy little chunky monkey. he weighed 15.5lbs at his 6 month check up.

teeth: HE HAVE A BOTTOM TOOTH coming in!!

Things about Miles: 

starting sitting up right after he turned 6months

he has a serious look on his face when meeting 

 new people. usually doesnt smile just stares them down.

he is bouncing when he is on all fours (dad 

 thinks he will be crawling by the end of July)

loves his taggie blankets

likes good old classic peek a boo

likes to hit things (we call him little bam bam)

bath time is the greatest things ever!! he sits up in his tub now too (had his first bubble bath)

wants everything that he shouldn't or can't have ( like moms cup and dads coke can)
