Pearce, how in the world are you already 8 months old?! I think this month, you are going to keep me VERY busy!
This is what I want to remember about your 7th month:
*Your two bottom teeth have begun to come in....and I keep forgetting to brush them!
*You began crawling just last week! At the beginning of 7 months, you would get on your hands and knees and rock back and forth.
*Last week, you also learned how to go from laying down to sitting!
*Size 3 diapers. I had to get the extra absorbent/way more expensive diapers because you kept leaking through your regular ones at night and during naps!
*You wear 9-12 month size clothes. You can wear 12 month size pants although the legs are a little long. You can also wear some 12 month size shirts. You can still wear 9 month sizes, but they are getting snug :)
*Last night you laughed SO hard when I tore up pieces of paper! I showed Daddy the video and he laughed so hard he was crying. He watched it over and over :)
*You still take 7 ounces of formula.
*I try to give you at least 2 meals a day of pureed food. Mommy makes all of your food and you have loved everything!
*Still spitting up...but not as bad.....fingers crossed!
*You got your first little bruise on your head when you bumped it on my dresser while crawling :(
*You cry when I take something away from you that you wanted to play with.
*You babble and scream and grunt and say "dadadada" all the time! I'm trying to get you to say Mama.
*You still take a 2hr morning nap and a 2hr afternoon nap (more on that below).
*You go to bed around 8:30-9:00 and sleep until 8ish.
*On Tuesdays we go to our play group. On Wednesdays we go to the library for story time. On Fridays (just for this month) I go to an exercise class and bible study class. You go to the nursery and you have done really well in there!
Happy 8 months sweet boy! You are growing so fast and getting cuter every month. I cannot wait to see you crawl all over. Daisy and Otis better watch out!
ReplyDeletePearce when you look at Peek-A-Boo bear do you wonder why he isn't growing like you are? I think this next month Mommy is going to be chasing you all over the place. Love, Mama and Papa
ReplyDeletePearce Matthew Parnell, oh,what a lot of changes you're going through! You are just growing up way too fast for me. I can't believe that you're crawling and pulling yourself up already. Just yesterday you were content to sit in our laps and look at books.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long before you're walking! Your uncle Matthew (for whom you're named) walked at 8 months 1 week. Of course, he was trying to chase after your Daddy who had just turned 3 y/o. He wanted to do everything that his "big brother" did! Tell Mommy that her peaceful days are o-v-e-r!!
I am missing you so very much. I'm counting the days until I get to come and see you again! It has been way to long. I don't want you to forget me and be scared of me. That would break my heart!!
I look at your precious smiling face in the pictures that I have every day. I can't get enough of them! I think you are so sweet and happy. And you are the cutest little person I've ever seen!! I love you little man!!
XOXOX from your adoring GG
i am still amazed & grateful God blessed us with these babies! i almost wish time would stand still so we could enjoy this phase a little longer!
