8 Months Old

I turned 8 months old today!

What have I been up to this month? Well, it was an eventful one!

I weigh about 17 pounds 6 ounces and am about 27 inches long.

I started eating finger foods (just cheerios and banana bits)

I figured out how to go from laying down to sitting up on my own

I can balance on my hands and knees

I am starting to stand while holding onto something on my own

I now eat oatmeal, summer squash, banana, sweet potato, peas, zuchinni, green beans (yuck), cheerios, carrots, pears, butternut squash... and some Earth's Best combos like peas and brown rice. I really like food.

I consistently sleep throught the night (havebeen for months and months) and go to bed around 8:30 and get up around 6:30 and take a 2-3 hour nap in the morning when at daycare and another nap in the afternoon. I eat 4-5 6 ounce bottles a day and 8-12 ounces of solids a day.

My mommy celebrated her first Mother's Day.

I went on a hike on Mount Palomar in my fancy backpack.

I flew in a plane for the first time and visited Seattle for the first time.
I went to the Woodland Park zoo and fed a giraffe (well, I guess my mommy fed him!).

I touched moss and saw a waterfall (Twin Falls) and a huge lake (Lake Washington)!

I met my Gruncle Dean and lots of Mommy's friends in Seattle.

I celebrated Daddy's 35th birthday.
