Owen : 8 months

mama's happy baby!

check me out I am sitting up!

• You have started talking
• first you say na-na-na for night night; we think this means "I want to be in my crib with my woombie"
• then one night you said clear as day "I love you" back at daddy! (people may not believe me but you did!!)
• when we were driving to the beach you said "na na na na mama and dada na na na" this was the first time you said dada; broke daddy's heart that we had to keep driving and not get you to your crib like you needed.

so sleepy

sleeping on his belly

• Sleep:
• You have learned to sleep without your swaddle around you; you are still clutching it and sucking on the fabric.  When I hand your woombie you kick and squeal with happiness!
• You like your room nice and toasty when you sleep...if its not you like to let us know!
• You can go some days with only 2 naps, but then you do still need 3 naps

• Eating:
• you will eat just about everything I will give you some new things you have tried are:  lasagna, refried beans, cake, puffs, spinach, but you don't like baby food with textures!  That stuff you will gag and spit back out.  
• You still like fresh food best...the baby food that I make for you...or our food now! 

You are such a good baby!  Have I mentioned that?  Sometimes we are so busy and you only get one nap and still you are so good for mama.  I try to make our days at home special and low key so that you can make up that much needed sleep for growing.
