Age: 8 months old on February 27th
Weight: approx 20lbs…we go to the doctor at 9 months
Clothes: 12 and 18 month clothes
Sleep: We got back on schedule this month (last month was tough) with a bedtime of 6pm and then 6am wakeup. I’m late writing this update by a few weeks and I have already forgotten what your nap time routine was like during month 8. You definitely don’t nap more than twice a day and many days you are only taking one nap a day. I think that is partly why you go to bed so early every night. I have found that your sleeping habits seem to change about every 2 months or so and as soon as we have everything going great, it changes.
Feeding: You are eating pureed baby food 2-3 times a day. You take 4 (8oz) bottles a day. Typically at 6am, 10am, 2pm, and 6pm. We try to eat around 730am, 1130am (but this one seems to be skipped a lot because we are out running or errands or something) and then at 4pm. You’re not a huge eater yet with the food. Some feedings better than others, but you never seem to get really excited about it.

Linking up with Mama and Mou today
Such a cutie!! How is he doing at the gym daycare? I still haven't taken Miller yet- I don't know why but it makes me nervous! I know I mentioned it before but we are having the hardest time with diaper and clothing changes- he will not sit still and it's a constant fight. It's now starting to happen in the bathtub which has me freaked out that he's going to hit his head so I have to hold him down the whole time- so I feel your pain on those items.
Oh my goodness! The child seriously could not be more adorable and his momma is looking gooooood! Love the shorter hair and love you
