Davis: 8 Months

I have no idea how this happened already, but Davis is 8 months old today!  His little life is just flying by.  I am constantly reminding myself to try and cherish my moments with him as a baby.  He is such a miracle to us, and even though having a baby is hard, having him in our lives is incredible.

Stats:

• I don’t know his exact weight, but I’m assuming around 18 pounds.  At his 6 month check up, he was in the 11th percentile in weight and 60th in height.
• He is in 6-9 month clothing, and mostly 9 month pajamas.

Milestones:

• Crawling started between 6 and 7 months, and now he zooms around.  You can’t turn around, or he’ll be into something he shouldn’t be!
• He pulls up to his knees all the time now, especially during his naps!  He tries to get up to his feet, but he’s not quite there yet.

Eating:

• He takes (4) 6-7 oz bottles of formula each day.  I need to look into possibly going down to 3 bottles.
• He eats 3 meals each day.  Breakfast is banana and oatmeal, and lunch and dinner are a mix of fruit, legumes and veggies.  He also always has half of an avocado with dinner.
• The fruit, veggies, and legumes he eats include: spinach, kale, broccoli, pear, apple, carrot, sweet potato, lentils, garbanzo beans (with lemon juice & parsley), nectarine, blueberry, peas, avocado, peaches.

Fun Things:

• He is obsessed with Kenan (our golden retriever).
• He loves when Todd throws him in the air.
• He is becoming much more ticklish.
• He loves being outside.
• He loves seeing other babies or toddlers, especially his cousin, Bryleigh.
