8 Months Old!

Eight Enjoyable months have passed since Cole arrived! He’s been up to a lot this summer!

Sleep: Going to bed a little later and getting up a little earlier. Not sure if it is because we are on the summertime schedule where Mommy is off of work or just a new sleep pattern. He still sleeps through the night mostly. His naps are still erratic. Sometimes long, sometimes very short, sometimes not at all!

Eating: Cole is still eating meals 3 times a day and nursing 6 times a day (including after his three meals). He is eating more and more types and volume of food! He has also started to enjoy chicken! We tried it from the store first and he didn’t really care for it. However, I roasted a chicken for him in the crockpot with garlic and rosemary, pureed it and he LOVES it! His acid reflux is still improving with his medicine! 

Diaper Size: Still in size 3

Clothes Size: 6/9 months and 12 months! I am enjoying getting out all the cute summer clothes :)

Other Fun Facts:

*Cole has started to sit up on his own which is so cute but bittersweet for Mommy. I can’t believe my baby is this big already!

*Cole is getting up on his knees and rocking but no forward movement. He’s a pro at scooting himself backwards though!

*Cole continues to enjoy the beach and the pool.

* Dave had his first father's day this year! What a great day we had! Both sides of the family met at Gigi and Pops' house for a picnic and pool party. It was a blast!

Here are the photo gifts I made the men of the family, they LOVED them!

* Cole celebrated his first 4^th of July this year. We had 3 days of celebrating since the holiday was in the middle of the week this year. First, the weekend before the 4^th we went to the beach with our usual crew. On Wed. the 4^th we went to the yacht club in Lewes with Grandma and Grandpa. We ate lunch on the deck and enjoyed time on the beach. The Saturday after the 4^th we spent time in Elkton for Gigi and Pops’ 4^th of July Party. I haven’t been in Elkton to celebrate the 4^th in 7 years!
