8 Months Old!

Here's what Alex has been up to lately:
  • He weighs 19 1/2 lbs. He's mostly in 12 month clothes and wears size 3 diapers.
  • His two bottom teeth just broke through in the last week or so. They don't seem to bother him though.
  • Alex sleeps from 8:00PM until 6:30-7:00AM and takes 2-3 naps during the day.
  • He's eating stage 2 foods mostly. Not a big fan of his green veggies (especially peas), but who is?! He scrunches his face and spits the food back out at us.
  • Alex is starting to feed himself without our help as much. There's usually more food that ends up in his lap then in his mouth, but he gets an A for effort.
  • He's a motor man on his hands and knees. He follows us everywhere around the house. He's our little Curious George that needs to know what's going on at all times.
  • Alex loves playing peek-a-boo and laughs up a storm.
  • He's getting really good at pulling himself up on furniture and standing on his own. He's starting to get the mechanics of taking steps with Mom and Dad's help, of course.
  • Alex babbles all day long and can get pretty boistrous at times, especially when he wants something. He says "Mama" and "Dada" the most.
  • He loves bath time, especially when Daddy makes waterfalls. Alex is definitely not afraid of the water. I think he could sit and play in the tub for hours if we let him.
  • He's friendly and gives smiles to everyone.
  • He started giving wet kisses but has only given them out to Mommy and Uncle Mark. They're sloppy, but I love them!
  • Alex is still in the "Happiest Baby Club."

Happy Baby!

Now that I can move, I'm into EVERYTHING!

Peek-a-Boo!

Good Morning, Munchkin!
