Trace - 8 months

Summer 2011 027 

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!
