8 months old

Ethan Baby

Hair: still pretty bald, we call him fuzzy wig sometimes because he just has a little fuzz on top, starting to fill in though, he is a blondie

Eyes: beautiful blue eyes, everyone LOVES his eyes and they say they look like mine!

Weight: solid and firm, last doctors appt a few weeks ago he was 20 pounds but I think he is closer to 23-25 now.

Food: loves almost all baby food except green beans and peas, I can get him to eat them but it is much harder - he shuts his mouth and turns away. He just started eating Cherioes this weekend and we are going to start introducing him to "real" food this week.

Crawling: he just started crawling a week ago and he is all over the place. Ethan can climb up all 13 of our stairs today within a few minutes. He puts his left leg up first and then right and up he goes. He has learned so fast!Talking: he says "dada", "mama", "oh", and "hi" all the time. At this point, though, he is just making these sounds, he doesn't know what they mean yet.

Naps: doing much better, everyday is a different story but he is getting it down. I have been putting him down everyday two hours after he has been awake for his morning and afternoon nap. He is starting to get into the routine.

Clothes: he is wearing 12-18 month clothes and lots of bibs. He still drools a lot so we have lots of bibs to keep him dry.

Teeth: has two on the botton of his mouth, still working on getting more in.

Personality: fun loving little boy, he is definitely going to be a boy who loves the outdoors, dirt and trucks. He loves to be on the go and learn new things. He is very smart and learns very fast. I am amazed how fast he picks up new skills. He loves walks and playing with other little kids. He is very strong and always has been. He is also strong willed. He knows what he wants and will do everything he can to get what he wants. He is very active, always moving! Jared and I just love having him as our little boy and love him every much. Every night we love going into his room before we go to bed to check on him. We cover him and watch him sleep, he is so peaceful. He is my little buddy.
