8 months!

The little blob is officially 8 months old! Well he was on June 26th to be exact. So although this update comes a tiny bit late, all of the pictures and stats are from June 26th.

As many of you know, my sister lost her twins 12 days ago {which I blogged about a couple of posts ago} so it has all been a little hectic. She also keeps her own blog {http://lifewithcatsandallthatotherstuff.blogspot.ca/} so may update about things on there. She and her husband are still both very sad about everything but have appreciated everyone's kind words. My Mum also helped bring up the spirit of things by surprising them with a trip here from England! We had the best week with her and when she left yesterday, everyone was sad to see her go. This mornings coffee was so quiet without her! Even Bennett was looking around wondering where she had gone :)

He basically spent most of my Mum's trip like this....cozy on her lap :)

So anyways, I didn't think it was fair to let 8 months pass without a blog post. Not much has changed since 7 months but luckily this child is super cute...so he can get away with it ;)

Weight: 19.9 lbs

Routine: There is absolutely no routine, sometimes he sleeps in his crib but most nights he ends up in our bed. I have set a goal for July to have him sleeping in his own bedroom every night. This new baby girl is fast approaching, so we can't have two little babes sleeping in our bedroom. On the other hand, he does nap quite well {twice a day still} and sleeps through a full night.  

Eating: Formula 5 times a day and solids 2-3 times a day. Bennett still has NO teeth so its very nerve racking feeding him anything other then puree but his doc said I have to focus on more regular food this month. He also is not a fan of meat {in the puree form} and sticks mainly to fruit and veggie mixes. So we are hoping to introduce more meat into his diet for month 8.

Sizes: 9-12 month clothing! 

Milestones: Ummmm maybe I should leave this one blank ;) Let's just say this child is in no hurry to grow up. He still sits by himself but no crawling or signs of mobility and no teeth. Hopefully I will have more to update on his 9 month update! haha. Oh wait!! He has started to do what we call his "special face". Basically he pulls out this gem whenever we ask him to do something...like say Mama or Dada. I think its a distraction method......and it works! What a little weirdo :)

and now for the more normal faces of an eight month old....
