Woody- Eight Months

Woody Facts

• Weight: Heavy? We go to the doctor next month.
• Diaper Size: 3
• Clothing: 9-12 month
• Sleep: 2-3 naps a day. If he misses a nap, it is usually him morning nap. Sometimes he is just to busy playing to nap. He goes to bed between 7:00-8:00 pm, wakes around 4:00 am , and for good around 7:00am.
• Eat: We are now on Stage 2 baby foods. I quit making his baby food. The fruits weren't so bad, but the vegetables took forever and made Woody gag. (It is official, I really AM a bad cook.) However, he can eat forever, and he eats everything. He is very sad when the food runs out. Along with his baby food, he gets a bottle around 9:00, and I feed him at lunch (though he usually falls asleep during this feeding, so he doesn't eat much), around 4:00 pm, bedtime, and his 4:00 am wake-up. 
• He loves Puffs. It is so funny to watch him grab and cram them into his mouth.
• Still just two teeth on the bottom.
• He is crawling everywhere...and he is fast!!!
• In the last month, he has begun to pull up on everything. He is brave and will let go of holding on, but falls down.
• Says Da-Da all the time. Ma-Ma has ended. Everyone is Da-Da.
• Can almost clap. He moves his arms, but his hands miss.
• Gah, his skin. It is awful. I have never seen such dry skin on a baby :( I am hoping that next month the doctor will give me some advice/better lotion. We have tried everything over the counter.
• As he is going to bed, he scratches the back of his head. (That is how we know he is tired.) Despite keeping his nails very trimmed, he sometimes scratches it up. It looks like a cat tried to attack him from behind.
• His favorite toys are board books and remotes. He also is very found of paper and things that rattle. (Cheap date.)
• He smiles so much. I love it. I hope he is always a happy/smiley/friendly kid.
