8 Months

 

+ Boy can yell! He screams at the top of his lungs. Usually while he's in his high chair. Doesn't exactly matter if food is on his tray, in his hands or in his mouth, he's usually yelling!
+ He loves his crib and doesn't sleep very well on the go. Will fall asleep in my arms as we nurse and will wiggle until he's in his crib. He likes his blanket and his Moose but he's not partial to any one item just yet.

+He's offically crawling on all fours. He just started this a few days ago moving away from the wounded army man crawl (which was adorable and much slower!) But a crawling a baby is a cute baby.
+ His favorite place in the house is at the bottom of the stairs yelling up the stairs. he is starting to pull himself up but he hasn't figure out how to climb just yet. I am not looking forward to the baby gate so he may be learning how to climb up and down asap!

+He is still not sleeping through the night. He will wake up 3-4 times and it's getting old, but he just started teething and has been really cranky too so we will see. We will get to the point where Mama puts in ear plugs and just ignores him, but not yet. It still hurts my heart.
+Boy has rolls on rolls on rolls and I. Love. It!

+ He loves to swim and go to tub time! Highlight of his day!
+ He loves his whole dang family and Papa and Gram. He lights up when anyone looks at him. Boy is full of smiles and it make my heart so gosh darn happy.

 

+ Doesn't love his sue. My others would live or die by the sue and Redd will take it in his car seat... sometimes and most other times he'll suck it for a second and then spit it right out.
+ I think he's slowly getting over his love for Dory. He still lights up and smiles nice and big when she comes on the TV but he won't sit still long enough to watch a whole movie.

 

+If he can't see me he will happily play and crawl around the living room for an hour or more. the second he sees me it's game over. Mama is still his number one and not always in the best way. He much more whiny and wiggly with me vs other people.
+Started eating more solid foods and its essentially over baby food. He is not a big fan of poofs but enjoys the Cheetos puffs still. For the most part he can gum and chew most things and he will eat it all from pickles to strawberries. Yes, Daddy has given him all the things he shouldn't have had yet aside from honey.

 

+ Chewing, sucking drooling on everything!! Doesn't puke as much which is nice.
+ Brightest bluest eyes you ever did see!
+Doesn't mind crawling in the grass. Leif thought the grass was Lava but Redd loves to crawl around and explore.

 

+Boy is always on the go. He isn't much of a snuggler unless it's with Daddy. He will sit in my lap and thrash and throw himself around. He loves to be upside down. He just wants to be where the action is. He will pop on and off while he's nursing so we have to go somewhere there are no distractions if he's going to get a decent meal in.

 

 

+Redd's First word was PAPA! So gosh darn cute. He will try to imitate words for you but he's not very consistent yet.
+ He's started to click his tongue and I cannot get enough of it!
