8 Months Old



Chase is now 22 lbs!! He's a big boy and always moving! He's now sitting well, pulling up to stand (with help), getting on all fours but not yet crawling. He has just started transitioning from sitting to prone by leaning forward. He loves to roll & roll to where he wants to go. When he gets on all fours he usually flips himself over. He is standing with support but is not very stable on his feet, tries to step or cross his feet, so we are working on that. It's hard not to compare him to Leila who was crawling by now & walking by 10 months. Other than that, he is now consistently sleeping through the night (finally) from 8pm-6:30am, and usually takes 2 naps during the day (1 short nap & 1 longer nap). He is still spitting up but it has gotten better. He takes 3 6-ounce bottles & 1 8-ounce bottle a day. I have just recently stopped all breastfeeding, he has been weaning off for about a month now. We are using some of the frozen milk now but the majority of milk he gets is formula. He is eating oatmeal & bananas for breakfast, a fruit & vegetable for lunch, and rice cereal for dinner. He loves puffs & mum mum snacks. We have recently tried peas which he hated & threw up, but has loved everything else (pears, apples, bananas, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, & carrots). He is such a lovable little boy with an infectious laugh & cuddly personality! We just love him to pieces!!
