8 Months Old

Age: 8 months old

Weight: 16 lbs. - 6th Percentile

Length: 28 inches - 57th Percentile

 

Size (Diapers, Onesies, Etc.): Logan is still in Size 3 diapers. He is in 3-6 month and 6 month clothes right now! 

Eyes: Still very blue, like his momma!

Hair: Light Brown! His bald spot on the back of his head is finally filled in since he is usually on his stomach now.

Sleep: Logan usually only wakes up once or twice a night. We've been wanting to sleep train, but he's really low on weight and he still needs those night feedings. Right after he eats he goes right back to bed, which is nice.

Eating: Logan is still eating solid foods so well. He loves ALL fruits and only likes a couple veggies. He doesn't like peas and green beans. Logan is still eating pureed food most of the time and will get mashed/soft chunks of fruits and veggies occasionally. I can tell he is progressing with solids so maybe we'll try introducing new textures soon.

Teeth: Logan has 2 bottom teeth.

Milestones: Logan has progressed in so many areas this month and is changing so much. He can sit up by himself (hardly ever falling over) and he is VERY close to crawling. He is starting to move his knee partially forward so I can tell he's getting there....he just hasn't mastered moving his hands forward with his knees.

Loves: sucking his thumb, showers with daddy, sleeping on his stomach, his Wheels on the Bus book and when we sing it to him, getting into EVERYTHING, crinkly things/things that make noise, and going on walks outside with mommy.

Hates: being cold, diaper changes in the middle of the night, waiting for his bottle to be ready, and getting buckled in his car seat.

Words/sounds: He loves babbling and he is also getting so close to saying certain words. I've caught him saying "hi", "bye", and "mama", but I don't think he really realizes he is saying it.

Nicknames: Still Logey and Bogey.

Funny/Cute Moments: On Saturday I came home from work around 4:45 pm. Logan was down for his nap and Steve told me he would be up soon. Once I heard Logan making noises I headed toward his room to go get him. I got in his room and once Logan realized I was home from work he started flailing his arms, smiling, laughing, and making a ton of noises because he was so excited I was home. It was the cutest thing and it definitely made me so happy to be his mommy. Logan is such a momma's boy and lights up whenever I walk into the room or when he realizes I'm home from work for the day.
