8 months!

Well, it happened again... another month flew by!!  :)  Cameron is getting closer and closer to being 1 year old... yowsers!!

Here are the highlights with what happened and Cam's routine.  December was such a fun and busy month!!  Little man has continued to grow so fast it seems!

  • Cam was still drinking 4 bottles with 8 ounces in each. (We just dropped bottle, but this happened after 8 months. :))
  • He is eating more during lunch and dinner.  Now he has 2 bigger jars or 2 pouches each time.
  • We introduced the sippy cup with water, but were not too good about being consistent. 
  • He may have only two arms, but at times it is like he is an octopus grabbing everything in front of him.  Two adults can find it a challenge to keep things out of his reach while eating.  :) 
  • Cam started doing what we call the "Breast Stroke" crawl.  He will extend his arms out and will drag his body as if his legs don'e work.  :)  He has gotten really efficient with it and can go pretty fast.  He is now actually crawling a tiny bit.  He gets his knees under him, crawls out a little and then says forget it, I can breast stroke faster.  I am pretty sure that is his thought process... it makes sense to me.  :)  We will have to see what happens over the rest of this month.
  • Cam was taking 3 naps (9:30, 1:30, and 5:30) but we just changed that as well to move him to 2 naps (10 and 3).  
  • We get him in bed around 8:30 still and he is waking up around 7 or so.  Sometime he keeps his paci and sometimes he spits it out.  
  • He is wearing size 3 diapers for the day, but we also bought size 4 nighttime diapers to help with his overflow situation!  He was peeing so much that he would leak fairly often.  The nighttime diapers are super helpful.  
  • He has EIGHT teeth!  The last two came in pretty early in the month.  So now his teeth have all had time to really come in and they are huge looking!  He is still in pain pretty often it seems so I am not sure if more are coming through soon or what.  
  • Lately he has gotten so vocal and will really "talk" to us.  We are enjoying that!
  • Emerson has started to play with Cameron more and he absolutely loves it.  He adores her and his face lights up when she looks at him.  It is so sweet. :) 
  • Cameron is getting too big for lots of his clothes, especially some of the 6-12 month size clothes. He fits best into 12 month clothes now it seems... or 12-18 month size.   
  • We moved Cam to a normal carseat this month.  He was just too big to be lugging around in the baby carseat!  
  • I weighed him using our scale and he weighs around 22 pounds.  This is pretty much what Emerson weighed at 1 year.  :)
Here are some videos of our little goober... he is just so funny.  :)  He makes funny noises and breathing sounds!  And when he is trying to crawl he gets a little frustrated sometimes.  :)


This video is from Christmas... he is doing his breaststroke crawl.  :)


Here are some pictures as well!

Hello!!!

Little man with his stocking!

He is slouching, but here is our sweet 8 month old!  :)

Emerson wanted to be in a picture, too.  :)
