8 months

Colt just turned 8 months! This has definitely been an exciting month with lots of changes and new milestones. I weighed Colt and he was 23 lbs 3 oz and I also measured him, but I'm never close to what the nurse measures, 28 to 29 inches?? Not sure about that one b/c he was 27.5 at 6 months. I looked up the percentile for his weight and he is in the 90th percentile. Here is what's going on these days:

Clothes: can still wear some 9 month clothes and fits very nicely in 12 month clothes

Eating: seems like all the time, so I can't really say what he eats and how much...I think he could eat all day:) We are trying to push the level 3 nipple, but he still prefers the level 2 (which is for a 2 + month old).

Appearance: He's got two new teeth!! He's chunky as can be and his hair is really coming in now and very fine and straight as a board.

Development: He is officiall crawling, though he wants to go faster than his little body will let him. He really has a lot of weight to carry:) He's been trying for several weeks, but finally figured how to get everything working together. He can go from a crawling position to a sitting position and is pulling up to a standing position. He's hasn't perfected any of these, but he's definitely on his way. He also has learned how to go forward in his walker and can feed himself snacks.

Play: Still loves his jumperoo, loves to play with anybody and will go to anybody, loves to play in his new riding toy (Handy Manny), loves to watch Pinky Dinky Do on NickJr. and loves his bath.

He also started sticking his tongue out a lot (I think it's the new teeth)

Things that we love about him is he is such a great hugger/snuggler. He really hugs and will hold us around our neck as hard as he can, so sweet. He also has started "talking" to us by saying "ah", "uh" or "eh." It is too funny!
