Levi 8 months

Levi turned 8 months old January 14th!  He is really starting to get his own personality!  He likes to scream, talk really loud, spit, sing, etc. with his mouth.  He also is starting to want to move!  When we hold him, he tries to climb up our body, so we have to be careful now and make sure we hold him tight!  He is also close to crawling.  I know it could still be a couple of weeks, but he just needs to put it together.  He is rocking, and diving, and planking, and bridging.  :)

He is in the halfway point with food.  Still eating baby food, but eating a lot of people food too.  He gets frustrated with how long it takes to eat people food, so after a little while he wants his baby food shoveled in fast!  Table food he has eaten so far: bread, grapes, pasta, bananas, beans, poppy seed chicken, crackers, tomatoes, green beans, chili, chicken tortilla soup.

Sleeping is still not great.  I started sleep training for night time last night.  He woke up twice and I went in there for intervals until he went back to sleep.  He made it 12 and 1/2 hours without nursing.  Here’s to hoping tonight goes well, and that he catches on quickly!  Still taking 2 to 3 thirty minute naps a day.  I keep waiting for these to lengthen, but so far no luck.  He has started rolling to his side to sleep, so maybe if he rolls to his stomach he’ll sleep longer?  Really I’m used to not getting naps, but since Cooper has given up his nap, it would be nice to have more of a break!  But that’s ok.  Anytime I get frustrated with his sleep schedule, I just remind myself that 8 months ago I almost lost him, and I quickly get over my frustration!

I love this little boy so much!  I’m so glad God blessed me with boys.  There is not a boring moment at our house!

 

If you made this picture bigger, you will see one brown-eyed boy and one blue-eyed boy!!
