8 Months

Tyler bear is 8 months old and boy does he want to GO! 

Don't be fooled by how still he is in this picture, overnight he wants to get movin'!

At 8 months, Tyler:

- weighs about 19 lbs

- wears 12 month clothes (big boy)

- is almost in size 4 diaper (only still in 3 b/c we are finishing the box)

- still usually sleeps through the night, but has some nights where he wakes

 - takes 2 naps

- has 4 bottles/breast feeds

- eats all pureed foods, but really wants the big kid foods

- added yogurt to his diet

- loves to feed himself - prefers it over spoon feeding 

- only has half of a tooth

- likes water out of his sippy cup

 - goes from sitting to the crawl position

- rocks back and forth on his knees

- does the plank

- scoots backwards

 - doesn't want to be laying on his back, so rolls to get moving

- Says "Momma" and knows what that mean

- Babbles "Dadda", "Babba"

- blows raspberries constantly b/c it feels good on his gums

- needs something in his mouth at all times, like the corner of his glider below

- hair has grown so much - we actually had to clip it above his ears

- still unsure of his eye color

- smiles if you even glance his way

- responds to his name

- is very ticklish 

 - is getting more Mommy clingy

- reaches out for me when he wants to be held 

- had his first double ear infection and fought it like a champ!

This little boy is still so content, happy, giggly, friendly, and warm-hearted.  He is such a joy to our lives and we cannot get enough snuggles and kisses from him. 

Sawyer is his biggest fan and I think the feeling is mutual! 

 They like to play together and "share" toys. 

 Tyler is the BEST sport :)

8 months has flown by and we love watching sweet Tyler grow, but I wish he would go just a little slower so I could treasure his littleness more!
