Eighth month

This month has been good, but we had a few set backs with some sickness. We are ending it doing much better!!! Here's what Rhett rhett has been up to:

Weight: 21 pounds 10 ounces (he lost some weight when he was sick)

Appearance:

• Seems to have thinned up quite a bit 
• Super thick legs 
• Starting to get a tan
• Brown eyes
• Hair is getting lighter in the sun (He finally got a much needed trim this month)
• HUGE grin

Teeth:

• 6 total
• Cut two more on top this month 
• Fool of drool and had a few days of diaherra

Eat:

• Eating more baby food this month
• Takes some bottles (5-6 ounces of formula), but prefers solids
• Less picky this month
• Would rather have fruits over veggies
• Enjoys eating small pieces of crackers and yogurt bites
• Had a few bites of real green beans and spaghetti. He squealed the whole time 

Naps

• Takes 2-3 naps a day
• Normally takes anywhere from 1-2 hour naps

Sleep

• Goes to bed around 8
• sleeps all over the place, seems to prefer sleeping on his tummy
• Wakes up for good around 6:45
• Still takes a bottle around 4:30 (I've tried skipping it but he just gets worked up and stays awake for an hour- I'd rather give him a bottle then waste an hour of sleep)

New discoveries

• Still loves sitting up- very happy playing with his toys (unlike c was at this age) 
• Will easily spend 30 minutes in the bath now that he can sit up and play with his bath toys
• trying hard to crawl- rocks on his knees
• trying to pull himself up- enjoys standing up with my help
• Waving some
• babbling more this month- lots of "ma mas" and "da das"
• Reaching for people- he finally reaches for me (makes this momma happy)
• He has reached the "hard to change a diaper phase". He wants to roll around and grab everything while I'm changing him.
• Very active at church- Rhett has turned into a wild man at church. We normally last about 45 minutes and then he turns completely WILD.

Happenings

• Spring break stay with Mimi and Pappy. Daniel and I got away for one night over Spring Break and Rhett and C stayed with my parents. We all had a great time.
•  Easter egg hunt at Mrs. Kim's. C had so much fun finding the Easter Eggs and eating all the candy. Rhett enjoyed just watching all the kids and chewing on the plastic eggs.
• Granny's Race- I took the two boys to watch Granny & Bentley walk the Russellville half-marathon. Rhett enjoyed his time in the stroller while C cheered everyone on.
• LOTS of outside time- Since the weather has been nice this month, we have spent a lot of time playing outside. Rhett is completely content on a blanket in the grass playing with his toys. When he gets hot C even helps cool him off by giving him a bucket of water to play with. The boys are working hard on their "farmer's tans".
• Rhett had a rough week. He had a head cold that settled in his ears. We went to the doctor after a few days of fever and two rough nights.
