A few things about Cannon at 8 months.....- He goes to bed around 6:30-7pm and wakes up at 5AM. He obviously doesn't know that his momma is NOT a morning person. I am desperately trying to figure out how to get him to sleep in later. I have tried putting him to bed later and so far nothing has worked.
- He is a little roly-poly now. He likes to roll all over the living room and then gets ticked when he stuck by the couch or fireplace. He definitely has quite the temper when things don't go his way. Even though he can roll from his belly to his back, every once in a while he still gets stuck on his belly and, you guessed it, gets really ticked.
- He likes to reach and grab for anything within reach. He has already figured out that his toys are boring and random objects such as keys and soda cup lids are much more entertaining.
- He is a curious dude. Feeding time has become a struggle now that he is distracted by anything and everything that is going on around him. From the noise the fridge makes when it is making ice to every little thing that Charlie is up to, he has to know what is going on.
- He likes to grab little pieces of skin on my arms and face and then squeeze as hard as he can while he squeals with delight. He is strong and he knows how to break the skin. Owwww!
- He has finally discovered his feet and toes. This is big progress for him to gain more flexion - something he has been really fighting, he loves to always be in extension mode.
- We have tried some rice cereal and so far he is not a fan. I don't think it is the taste as much as just needing to get used to the texture and swallowing.
- Our days have gotten a tiny bit easier. We are still strugling to find a routine as Cannon is not too into naps, but I keep trying! He seems happier now that he can entertain himself with his new skills. I think the prevacid is helping his reflux as well. He loves to play peek-a-boo and little games that make him laugh. He is also getting better around strangers and will sometimes even break out a smile at them. He definitely prefers women.
It has been a crazy 8 months and we are even more in love than ever. Our cute little man has definitely stolen our hearts.
Good luck with the sleeping! That is how Nathan was and he is still an early riser. Doesn't matter what time he goes to bed. The only times he sleeps in is if he has a few nights of less sleep. He could go to bed at midnight and still be up by 6-7am. :-) I liked it when he got old enough to hold a bottle in the mornings. :-)
ReplyDeleteHe is just looking so big and grown up. Hard to believe it was 8 months ago that he was such an itty bitty little thing!!
