Jack and I spent most of the last month in Hawaii. We had a great time!!!
But I will leave that for future blog posts.
Jack turned 8 months old the day we got back from Hawaii. He is doing really really well. He is talking, scooting, eating, laughing, and is very fun.
He loves to play!
He is sleeping well between 12 and 14 hours with 1 feeding. He sleeps on his back most of the time, but has recently started sleeping on his side and belly occasionally. He doesn't fit in any one piece sleepers anymore so we have moved on to seperate pj's.
I am still nursing him about 4 times a day and he can go up to 6 hours now between feedings. He is eating babyfood, fruit, puffs, and cheerios. I feed him real food once a day at dinner time and fruit in the morning. He loves to eat, he will never turn down food. He is still growing like crazy.
In this picture he is wearing his 18 month overalls. His shoes are size 3 and would fit, except that his feet are too chubby. No shoes really fit him.
I would guess that he weighs about 21 or 22 pounds and he is very tall. He seems to be built like Jake, he has a long torso and long legs too. He carries most of his weight in his legs and lower half. We say he is bottom heavy :)
classic Jack face
He makes all sorts of faces now. He is very expressive. He makes faces that definitely are soo excited, surprised, mad face, pick me up face and he raises his arms to be picked up. He is making all sorts of noises.
He loves to laugh, sometimes he will be in a room by himself playing and he will start laughing because something he did tickled him. He has a great laugh and loves to be thrown up in the air. He also now rocks his body when he is excited. He sits on his bottom and starts rocking, it's soo cute. We love him so much.
He is saying Daddy (his real first word), Doggy, kitty, duck, Jack (or a form of jack)
He still sucks his fingers for comfort, but not as much. He can drink from a straw or a sippy cup now.
Movement wise he can scoot on his bottom on wood floors, but on the carpet he is rolling and reaching for things. He can go from sitting to his belly, he is really close to crawling.
He has 7 teeth now, 3 on the bottom and 4 on the top.
He is soo much fun. He loves toys. He can play for up to an hour just sitting with his toys. He is very methodical. He will pick up a toy, look at all sides of it, move all the moving parts, chew on it, and then put it behind him and move onto another toy. He still loves his jumper and he now has a swing on the swingset that he enjoys.
He is in the big boy stroller now and moving up to the big boy car seat this week.
Hope you enjoyed this update
