Happy 8 Months Nathan!

What a month this has been. We celebrated your first Halloween and you were the cutest penguin there ever was.

You have also figured out that there is a sticker on your shirt!

Height and Weight: I am not sure on this one because we have not been to the drs recently. Knock on wood. 

Sleep: This month you overall slept well at night but would fight your naps quite a bit during the day. You are still about 2 naps a day and getting your bath between 6:30 and 7 at night followed by a 7oz bottle. 

Food: You are doing great with your purees and you are eating your puffs like a champ! We are also still going strong with nursing. Hoping to keep that going until you are 1.

Milestones: You are rolling around every where and we really think you will be started to crawl in no time.

This month you started at a new daycare and we couldn't be happier. You seem to be doing well and the best part is it is right in our neighborhood!

We took a trip to the Topsfield Fair which was fun but crowded. And you also went out for your first night of trick or treating! We also went to see your Grandpa's work and the halloween festival that they put on! It was amazing!

Cutest family of penguins!

We also took our fall photos. You were not really into smiling but they still came out great. 

Happy 7 Months Nathan!

I feel like every month I think the same thing, but how are you 7 months old? As each month passes by I fall more and more in love with you and your personality. You have really started to become a mama's boy and I love it!

Stats: I have no idea how much you weigh or how tall you are but I think every morning when I get you out of your crib you are heavier.

Sleeping: We had to transition you out of the sleep suit this month. I woke up one night around 2:30 and saw you sleeping on your belly so we switched you over to just wearing a sleep sack and I think you like that way more. You are on your side or your belly at all times now and very rarely on your back. You go to bed like a champ every night with no problems. We give you your bath between 6:30 and 7 and you still take a 7oz bottle every night then its lights out. 

Diet: Still breastfeeding and taking pumped bottles when we are apart. You are doing really well with baby food. I make ALMOST all of it and you really haven't had anything you hate yet besides when I tried to give you some chicken, that has been the only time that you actually gagged. You have had pumpkin, squash, green beans, carrots, pears, peaches, mango just to name a few!

When we started transitioning you over to solids you went almost a whole week without pooping. The dr recommended we try to give you pear juice in a bottle and that made you vomit everywhere so onto prunes! That had you going within the hour. Now you are about a once a day or once every other day kind of guy. 

You are sitting up more on your own although you still take a good topple now and then. You are also very into toys! I have been trying to stock up on some new ones for you!

This month we took a trip to Portland to visit Daddy for a night. It was a very interesting night. Daddy was sick and coughing which kept waking you up and you were unsure of how to put yourself back to sleep in a hotel crib so it made for a bit of a cranky baby the following day but we still had a fun time!
