8 Months old and growing!

Well our little monkey is 8 months old as of yesterday. It is crazy how fast time flies. I can't believe it was 8 months ago that I had this little guy. I just love him so much even if he does drive me crazy sometimes. He has the cutest smiles and I love it when he gives me his big smiles.

He has been clicking his tung the last week and it is so funny. He has been clicking his tung and playing with his tung a lot the last couple of days. When I fed him his baby food at lunch today he was just going crazy with talking and using his tung to make it sound different and make different sounds. It was so funny I could not help but laugh even if it was frustrating that he was just spitting his food out at me some of the time. He was having too much fun moving his tung around and making different voul sounds and talking.

He is getting really good at eating finger foods. We are going to start giving him some beans for him to feed himself and just a bunch of other stuff because he really likes to do it and he does really well. He is really good at eating bread, his puffs and he loves fresh strawberries! haha

He always wants to eat what we are eating but I am not sure if he can have ketchup and stuff like that so we normally don't give him exactly what we are eating yet.

We have tried giving him chicken vegetable baby food and he does not like it at all!! haha I made him some scrambled eggs the other day and he did really well with them and seemed to like them.

He has been getting up on his knees a lot, and I think he is actually wanting to start to crawl now. He has been doing it way more in the last 2 days than in the past couple of weeks. So we shall see. I am excited for him to start crawling but at the same time kind of not ready for it! haha Although, my excitement for him to start takes over any feelings of not being ready!

I love playing with him and making him laugh really hard. It makes it all worth it when he smiles at me and when I make him laugh. He is such a happy little stink and I am so glad to be a mom and have him in my life!

Also he has not slept through the night for quite some time now. With getting teeth, being sick and going through growth spurts it feels like he will never sleep through the night again. After he was sick and throwing up and not drinking anything he went crazy on his formula and started drinking around 30-38 ounces in a 24 hour period. Now he still does not seem to be able to make it through the night on 27 ounces. He needs more or he won't sleep through the night which he can't seem to get all of what he needs during the day so I am left with getting up to feed him once or twice. Some nights I am up every 3 hours with him. So I am hoping it ends soon so I can go back to getting my good nights sleep.

Also Ethan has started to smack his toys, and he loves it. Maybe its because it makes a different sound when he does it or something but it is really funny to watch him hit or throw around his toys and see the funny little faces and smiles he makes while doing it. Such a funny little boy!

Well that is about all I can think of right now. So that is the latest update on our little munchkin!
