Andrew's 8th Month

I'm so excited for Andrew and all the big changes he's been dishing out!

There's no doctor's appointment this month but as of a few weeks ago, Andrew weighed 18 pounds.



Most nights Andrew goes to bed between 6:30-7:00, wakes up for a feeding around 4:30, then continues sleeping until about 6:30.  Bedtime is very easy, especially with Daddy's new job.  Mommy gets to feed Andrew then attempt to snuggle for a few minutes and lay him in the crib awake.  He always falls asleep on his own within minutes.  Andrew still loves to snuggle up with a blankie and a binkie.


Andrew has become a tad more adventurous with foods this month.  He's tried all types of new foods including green beans, peas, mixed veggies, blueberries, cantaloupe, yogurt, and chicken.  We've even started to give more finger foods in an attempt to get away from those purees!


Andrew usually takes two naps a day totally about 4 hours.  Afternoon naps tend to be the best ones lasting a few hours each day.

Andrew still wears 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. 

This month Andrew sits up all by himself for long periods of time.  When laid on his back, he will roll all around the room and see what kind of mischief he can get into.  The day of Andrew's 8th month, he propped himself up on all fours and started army crawling.  Now, just a few days later, he's actually covering some distance!


Andrew enjoyed shaking his head "no" at people for most of the month and also waved bye bye a few times.  He's since stopped both of those skills but I'm sure they'll make a comeback!
