William was 8 months old on July 2nd.
-He can say mama. He's only said it a few times, but he definitely said it! He also said no, but I think that was just a sound, not the word. Although he does hear me say no to the big kids all the time, so maybe it was a real word.
-He gets on all 4s and goes a couple of inches, but then he decides that it's just easier to scoot all over the room on his tummy. He moves like an inchworm. I'm not really sure he will ever crawl on all 4s b/c he's so fast at scooting.
-William has started pulling up on things and standing. He did it at the beach in his pack n play a few days before he turned 8 months. My other kids were slow on walking and I know they weren't pulling up at 7.5 months!
-He's started taking 2 long naps a day, rather than just napping off and on all day long. It's nice, but also kind of stinks b/c we have to stay around the house all day. We wake up, he naps after an hour or so of being awake (if it's early), then Macey wakes up, he wakes up, then she goes to bed, then he goes to bed, then she wakes up. Most days it's like I only have 2 kids all day, just alternating between JH and one little one. :)
-We went to the beach last week. It rained almost the whole time, but every time we went down to the beach, William immediately fell asleep. The sound of the ocean knocks him out!
-I finally started feeding him baby food on a regular basis. He will only eat foods with bananas. His favorite is Earth's Best Banana Raspberry Brown Rice. He loves it! He usually eats 2 of the squeezy packs for lunch or dinner. He also loves puffs- sweet potato flavor.
-At night William goes to bed anywhere between 8-11, depending on how he napped that day. He wakes up 1-2 times at night. Some nights I nurse him and put him back in his bed and some nights I'm too tired to walk the 10 steps to his room, so I put him in our bed. Those nights he doesn't sleep as well, but he doesn't wake up at 6 when the sun comes up either! (His room is SO bright!)
I need to take his 8 month pictures when he wakes up!
