8 months

Jackson,
    You are 8 months old. 8 months just sounds so OLD! I woke up this morning thinking there is no way you are really 8 months old. It's crazy how fast time flies.

You are so precious, my love. Mommy and Daddy have met a lot of their goals with you this month. You are no loner wearing your apnea monitor AND you are in your nursery. That is BIG for us, baby.

You are really starting to want to move, but you haven't figured it out yet. You still hate to be on your tummy. I put you on it every day and it always ends with a BIG fit. One day you will learn how to crawl. I guess it will be later. I am not ready for you to crawl anyways!

You are doing so good with sitting up. You can sit up on your own for a long time, but if you are tired you will just fall backwards. You silly boy! You are getting used to your helmet. You think it is there just to protect your little head. When you are in your jumper you will bang your head back on purpose. You do it over and over again and again. Silly little boy. I have to really watch you when you are in it. When you start to do that I take you out.

You:
- are around 21 pounds
- are in size 4 diapers
-wear 12 month onesies even tho a few 18 month onesies do fit.
-wear 18 month pj's
-are really starting to not want your bottle. You eat three meals of baby food a day. Fruit for breakfast, a veggie for lunch and cereal for dinner. You still drink bottles in between your baby food but you really don't like to. You drink usually 4-5oz.
-are still wearing your helmet but we go back to the neurologist next week!
-sat in a high chair for the first time!!!
-love to be held. Of course mommy holds you..a lot! You also like to play on the floor. You are silly you push all of your toys away from you then you want them back. It's a never ending process.
-You don't really like your jumper.
-You love your daddy, but you are a mamma's boy!
-are in your big boy room now, and only waking up once or twice a night! WooHOO!! This is awesome for you!
-are not on a schedule. I have tried a million times to get you on a schedule but you aren't having it still!
-You are not a napper! You will nap for about 9 minutes here and there, but that's it!
-Since you do not nap you are usually done by 7 and in bed by 7:30.
-are such a good baby. You love to go places and just hang out!


I love you more and more everyday. I am so lucky to have you as my son.
XOXO,
Mommy
