Trace - 8 months

 

Trace turned 8 months old on 6/27/11

• Weighs 17 lbs
• Can sit up
• Crawls everywhere
• Sit up from crawling position
• Pulling up on Toys and able to cruise back and forth on them
• Can Sign – More, Yeah, Milk and All Done
• 2 top front teeth are almost in
• Does “Sweet Eyes” on command
• Has the most contagious belly laugh
• Chases big brother Trenton around everywhere
• Enjoys swimming
• Sits in a bath ring in the tub
• Has the cutest curls around his ears (Daddy hates them and begs me to cut them)
• Took his first trip to Sea World in June
• Words: Dada and Den Den (I think this was is Trenton) still no sign of saying Mama
• Starting to enjoy more table food: rice, potatoes, corn, popsicles
• Changed his baby food from Gerber to Plums & Sprout – he started refusing Gerber and throwing it up. The Plum & Sprout pouches are so easy to feed on the go! He still eats around 3 pouches a day and enjoys 8 oz of formula in between
• Last feeding is at 4:30 – he refuses to eat later than that
• Stands up in his crib (and giggles while looking into the camera)
• New bedtime routine (because of the standing) is being rocked by Mommy (i don’t mind the new routine one bit)
• Still thinks his Daddy hung the moon. He just lights up when he sees him.
• Easy going personality. He spends a lot of time in his carseat or stroller these days attending Trenton’s practices. He doesn’t seem to mind and sleeps through just about most of them
• LOVES dogs
• Throws a nasty fit when he is tired, doesn’t get what he wants or big brother takes a toy away from him. He balls his fists up and just screams. (He gets this from his Dad)

Trace you are getting way to big, way to fast! I cannot believe how time flies and how big you are getting. I love you little brother!
