Comparison picture at eight months
Weight:
I'm not sure... probably more than 16 pounds.
Length:
I'm not sure... probably more than 26 inches long.
Clothing size:
Mostly wearing Nine and twelve month clothing. I pretty much go for the coolest easiest clothing possible these days. We don't leave the house very often, so there are days he just wears a onesie.
Eating:
Well, Hunter had allergy testing this month which revealed he is allergic to peanuts and eggs. He is not allergic to milk, almonds or shrimp. So, we were avoiding peanuts and eggs... but then later this month, Hunter had a mild allergic reaction when we ate tacos -- so now the doctor has Hunter off wheat, soy, beef, corn, and taco seasoning for three weeks until further testing can be done.
So, that is what Hunter does not eat.
We have him on a pretty strict diet of fruit, veggies, yogurt, cheese, chicken, and fish.
His favorite foods are strawberries, jello, broccoli, and sweet potatoes.
He still nurses several times a day as well.
Sleeping:
Hunter sleeps well and takes 1-2 naps a day. His mid-day nap is getting longer, and it is starting to sleep really well through the night (for 10-12+ hours) so we may be close to getting a strict one-nap schedule for him moving forward.
New things/discoveries/accomplishments:
He had his first camping trip as a family (cabin camping)
His first time to the Rifle pool
His first times really enjoying water
His first summer treats -- popsicles and a taste of an ice cream cone, which he would not let go of after he got a taste
His first family garage sale
His first Father's Day
He is very close to crawling -- he will sit up and then use his heels to move himself around in a circle. He also leans forward to try to reach things, and then will get onto his tummy. Once on his tummy, he can reach a few things, but he does not quite have the strength to move yet -- any day.
He is definitely teething, poor little guy -- I can see where his two bottom teeth are SO ready to cut through, but they have not yet. Thankfully, he still sleeps well, but he is fussier than normal during the day, and at meal times.
Likes:
Being outside
Being around his siblings
Tags -- like the silky tags on her stuffed animals
Strawberries and popsicles
Swinging himself in his swing
Jumping in his exersaucer
Starting to use his walker to walk over to things to grab them
Baths and showers
Sitting up and watching everything
Dislikes:
Teething
Food allergies
Places He's Gone:
Cabin camping at Grand Mesa National Forest
On his first family hike
On a bike ride with Mama in the bike chariot
I had a special girls outing with the two oldest girls and Hunter got to tag along to that -- a cheap movie, nails done, and ice cream.
Special Memories:
Cabin camping
Father's Day
Some summer fun -- garage sale, pool time, water fun, popsicles
First Fourth of July -- which was pretty low key and our first ever Fourth of July in Colorado
