8 Months Old

Colton at 8 months

Nicknames: Coal Train, Brother, Buddy

8 Months!! Where has the time gone??? My little baby is now becoming the cutest and the sweetest little boy ever! This has to be my favorite age so far because he is really starting to get his own personality now. He is in to everything and he just laughs and giggles all the time. He is such a happy little boy all the time!!

Here are some highlights from the past month:

• He has tried mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and spaghetti sauce; however he does not like the taste or the texture. We’re going to keep trying though!
• Has started crawling everywhere!!!!! And he is so fast!
• Can now pull up in his crib! He started doing this on Christmas morning. I had laid him down for a nap before going to Big Daddy’s and Nana’s house and I heard him laughing and giggling in his crib. I walked in there and he was standing up holding onto the side of the crib. He just laughed at me when I saw him. He now will peak out the side of the crib in the morning time when he gets up until someone can come and get him out. It’s precious!
• Hates getting his nose cleaned and face wiped off
• Still loves bath time!
• He now reaches for Mommy and Daddy all the time.
• We made Colton his own playroom after Christmas and he loves it!!! We put all of his toys in there and he loves to go and play in there during the day.
• Kicks his right leg and waves his right hand constantly.
• He will now hold his bottle with just his left hand while watching cartoons in the morning time.
• Loves the remote control and the phone.
• He wears size 3 diapers and is in 6 to 9 month clothing.
• Takes 24 ounces of formula a day. He also has cereal and fruit in the morning and at night time and one vegetable and fruit at lunch and dinner. He really loves to eat!
