Finn turned 8 months old today.
Here are the highlights;
*He's very big. I forget how large he is until I see him next to other kids his age. He is very, very, VERY long/tall. I (think) he's about 22 pounds. We're going to the doctor on Tuesday and I'll find out more.
*He is crawling on his elbows and knees but has not figured our how to lift his butt in the air yet. But he can get across the room if he wants to.
*He's eating everything (I have not given him strawberries, egg or peanut butter yet until he's a little older). He is a really good eater. And has not disliked anything yet. I'm giving him less and less "baby food" like Gerber and more and more grown up foods. He still nurses three times a day but unless I lay down in the bed with him, he treats me like a cocktail bar - sip, sip, play, roll, somersault, sip, sip, look at Todd, talk to Todd, sip sip, bend upside to see the TV, sip, sip, try to grab Joey. It's not fun.
*We're still working on the sleep thing. He is picture perfect for his naps. He goes down (almost without fail) at 9:30, 1:30 and 4:30. Then 7:30 for bedtime. Unfortunately he still wakes up once and sometimes twice a night. I've been ignoring him (which is so hard) and sometimes he goes right back to sleep and sometimes not so much . . .it's a work in progress.
*He can pull himself up to a standing position but it makes me nervous so I don't let him stand on his own unless I'm close by.
*I can't WAIT for winter to be over. We're a little cooped up here in the apartment. We try to go to baby classes a few times a week to get out and about. It will be great when the spring gets here and we can go the zoo and central park.
*He loves Todd more than anything in the world. I took a new job Company Managing a show called Garden of Earthly Delights. I'm gone every night from 6 to 9 so Todd does dinner, bath time and gets him down for the night. Then two or three days a week I'm gone during the day also. I come home between the office and the theater to nurse him and play for awhile, but Todd has been doing the lions share. I'm a very luck gal to have such a great baby daddy.
So here's my little babylet getting bigger and bigger.
