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.

Palm Springs again :)

We went to Palm Springs (well, Palm Desert) again with Yia Yia and Papa. Here I am on my first boat road... in adn around the hotel. Not sure what to think about this life jacket!
This pond was on the golf course right outside our backdoor in our room. Duckies!

Yia Yia and I like to play Peek A Boo.

Here a slide show from our weekend in Palm Springs with Yia Yia and Papa!
