8 MONTHS OF FUN!
I thought I was going to be able to make a great, thorough post today while Tristan napped, but as soon as I got to the computer to get to it, he woke up from his (much too short) nap. Story of my life with my non-napper! So, I'll give a quick recap of our amazing little man at 8 months and hope to post more pics when if he takes an afternoon snooze. :)
AT 8 MONTHS, TRISTAN...
...has officially moved out of the infant room at daycare. (They called it a "promotion", I called it a reason to sob.) Goodbye Turtles, hello Ducks!
...is almost walking. Unbelievable, and we are so not ready!
...crawls, climbs, stands, dances. If it's a form of movement, he's doing it nonstop! Not much different than his life in utero, it all makes sense now!
...has ONE TOOTH! And it's a sharp little sucker. It seems as though more are not far behind!
..."talks" a lot! "Uh uh uh" is his go-to phrase, but he does say "mamamama" a lot, too. I, of course, think he's saying it to me, Ian thinks it's a coincidence.
...still LOVES his auntie kitty, Lexi. And really loves pulling her bed off the couch and onto the floor, even if she's in it.
...is getting much better at sleeping through the night (teething nights aside, but those still aren't bad), yay!
...is not winning any nap champion titles. Cat naps are his favorite.
...weighs in at approximately 21 pounds and measures about 27 inches (informal measurements, don't quote them).
...eats like a hungry, hungry hippo. He's had all his fruits, veggies, oatmeal, puffs, mum-mums, Ritz crackers and Nilla Wafers. Luckily, the milk consumption has gone day a little, less pressure on working/pumping mama!
...is awesome at giving high-fives, and gets the biggest kick out of it, too!
...has a heart-melting smile on his face all the time (and if he's not smiling, he's usually making some sort of hilarious facial expression with his amazing eyebrows).
...laughs with the best belly-laugh in the world!
...loves to grab the remote and video game controller to be like daddy.
...still loves bath time, but wants to stand up and make it difficult!
...has crazy hair, doesn't care! And is quite the blonde boy, so unlike mama!
...loves to play with his toys more than ever, especially the musical ones.
...blows kisses! (Still a ladies man flirt!)
...still looks like his daddy, but often matches his mama. :)
...has his own Instagram account to feed Baba & Papa's #Cube. (@365daysoftmax if you want to see more photos, much quicker to post them there than on the blog these days!)
...is growing up WAY TO FAST, but makes each day better than the last!!
And a few videos to end the post with a smile:
Laughter is contagious.
