8 month highlights

A few highlights of 8 months:
  • B has mastered crawling and is following us all over the house! It's great :) He only crawls to stand though. This kid loves being on his feet!
  • He prefers to be an 11 hour sleeper at night versus a 12 hour sleeper now. So going to bed at 9pm and waking around 8 am.
  • Down to two naps a day. First in the morning around 11ish and the second in the afternoon around 3:30ish. One nap will be about an hour long and one will be almost two hours long if he is at our house. If he is at his cousins house he has been known to go 3 hours!
  • Every month he continues to love the pups even more. Gunner has started to lick him making Brod giggle. It fun to peak into a room where it is just the pups and Brod and they are all entertaining each other, what great friends :)
  • We think the words "momma" and "daddy" have come out of his mouth! We could be hearing only what we want to hear though :)
  • Continues to act as though he has never met a stranger. Such a social boy!
  • This boy has tripled his weight! He weighs 17 pounds and maybe 2 ounces (don't remember the ounces part)
  • He has been suffering from allergies for the last two weeks. Snotty noes with nose bubbles, poor kid :(
  •  Mike and I have always talked about when we had kids we wanted them to be able to choose to wear costumes all year round if they wanted. This last weekend we were at a garage sale and found this Tiny Ninja costume for the Brod Man. Mike was one proud dad as he showed off his Ninja Brody :)
  •  The Tupperware cupboard has been discovered! How can you put a lock on all this fun? He loves getting his toothless gums around the rims of these bowels. Yep you read correctly....toothless gums. No teeth in this boy yet. His doctor keeps promising us they will come.
  • Brody continues to love books! It's great because he will let you know what ones he likes and what ones he wishes we would just get rid of. His top three favorites are "I Love You Through and Through" (a fav of his cousin, Ashlyn, that she gave to him for Christmas) "Simba and Friends" and "Curious Pups" (Two great finds at the Dollar Tree!)
