8 Months.....

Sweet Alex is 8 months old already, time is a flying.  He is such a joy.  This month we have officially learned to crawl, first he army crawled and now at almost 9 months has finally decided it is time to get up on his hands and knees and crawl like a big boy.  Alex is pulling up, starting to eat lots of table food, and LOVES oatmeal (maple and brown sugar is his fave). His only word so far is MAMA which I am just super pumped about, especially since both girls said DADA first. The boy has me wrapped around his finger, I won't even lie. He also is sleeping in his big boy bed for 2 naps, one at around 10 and one at around 3, he sleeps for 2 whole hours at a time.  We had to drop his bed down to the next level because he has started pulling up too ! This is by far the most he has done in a month thus far.  I expect him to take off and start walking at any given moment.  Alex is also doing MUCH better with baby food and food in general, I'm not sure if its because hes older or his mouth has changed but food rarely comes out of his nose anymore.  He is doing fantastic and our palate repair is right around the corner which makes me nervous and excited all at the same time.  He is doing so great though, he has finally started in the last couple of weeks sleeping through the night until around 5 am, he goes to bed around 8,  and usually will take a bottle at 5 am and go back to sleep for a couple of hours.  If you have held Alex recently you know that all the boy wants is DOWN, he wants no part of being in your lap, he is a busy little fellow.  Here's a few sweet memories from our boys 8th month of life !
