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.
