8 Months Old

Nicknames:
Diaper Size: 3
Clothes: He is wearing 18 month clothes for the most part. And 24 month pjs!

Stats:

• Weight: 20lbs 6oz (73.5%)
• Height: 28" (57.8%)
• Head Size: 18" (82.4%)

Health: Rash- He had this weird heat rash in his neck folds. It was so difficult to get it to go away! Everytime we went outside or for a car ride, it would flare up! So I had to put layers and layers of Calmoseptine, 2-3 daily and it FINALLY cleared up! But seriously I felt like it was there for the whole month!

Sleep: He is an awesome napper, finally! His usual schedule is 9-11, 1-3, and usually a short evening nap and then ready for bed at 6:30! During the night he still wakes up twice, usually around midnight, 3am, and then up by 6-7. He usually doesn't sleep while we are on the go, except for in the car. He won't nap in the grocery store or at a restaurant. He has to be in a dark room, swaddle with his noise machine on, OR in the car seat.

Diet: This boy loves peaches! Grammy gave us some peaches and he will just gnaw on them. He will eat a full half of a peach! We struggle with constipation with his little intestines. We have to feed him prunes frequently, thank goodness he likes them! He also love puffs!

Likes:

• Peak-a-boo
• Night time books
• To play with a RED solo cup
• Play with his ears while nursing
• To do crunches
• LOVES the Wheels on the Bus song. It stops his crying, almost everytime. 
• To pinch the back of moms arms. rrrgghhh.

Dislikes: 

• Bananas
• He started to push away things he doesn't like. 

Milestones:

Things I don’t want to forget:

• After he is done eating (and is really full) he purse his lips and blow out a tiny bit of air.
• He chomps his jaw for attention. 
• He is not a snuggly baby, but every once and awhile he will snuggle on my shoulder!
• Started to push his little arms through his shirt to help get dressed.
• He is a MAMA's boy and of course I LOVE IT! He will put his arms out for me.  
• He is rolling around and can do 360's on his tummy but not crawling yet!

These are Cole's favorite toys at Grammys. Grammy started babysitting Cole while Mom and Dad work. From what Grammy tells us, he is a good boy! So grateful to have her!

Cole is so entertained by Cali. She is gentle with him. 

Gaming. 

Cole would NOT go to sleep for Daddy while Mom was at work. So Cass brought Cole out and they watched football together.
