Connor: Eight Months Old

Dear Connor,

    Oh my gosh... today you are 8 months old! You are definitely the cutest 8 month old in the whole wide world. We can't believe how fast these past months have gone by. You are so much fun and have a very strong personality. Most of the time you are very happy, but sometimes you have a little temper and give us a hard time. You have started giving us kisses, and they are the best! Slobbery, but still the best! We can't wait to see all the new things you are going to learn this month.

Love always,

Mommy and Daddy

You have so many different expressions.

*What you eat: Usually 4-6 ounces of breast milk about every 4 hours during the day. We feed you 1-2 ounces of fruit in the morning and about 2 1/2 ounces of vegetables in the evening. You drink about 5-6 ounces of milk before bedtime and normally wake up for a bottle during the night. So far you have tried peas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, green beans, avocado, pears, apples, peaches, and bananas. Your favorites are sweet potatoes and apples. You like to snack on baby mum mums and banana flavored crackers.

*Size clothes: You have a few 6-9 month clothes that still fit, but not many. 9-12 month clothes fit you the best right now. You have a couple 12-18 month clothes that you also wear. You wear size 4 shoes.

*Favorite toy: Your jumper, tractor, and vibrating teether.

*What makes you happy: Being held and playing with Kylie. She is starting to pay more attention to you and let you pull her hair pet her.

*Sleep: You normally wake up around 8 and take a morning nap at about 10. You take an afternoon nap around 1 and then go to sleep for the night at 7:30/8.

*Cute things you do: You give us kisses and we LOVE them! You make this funny hissing noise all the time. When we copy you, you laugh at us.

*New things you have done over the past month: You are just getting over your first cold and managed to get your first bruise. You pinch, a lot! You roll all over the place and get into everything. You learned how to pull yourself into a sitting position. You hold you own bottle and have started playing with it while you eat.
