Eight Months

Happy 8 months Carson

It has been a big month for our little boy. He has reached some huge milestones and learned a ton of new tricks. I hope I can list them all.

• he loves to eat Honeycomb, toast, & crackers
• he loves to chew on carrots, cucumber, toothbrushes, etc
• went through enormous pain to get 3 new teeth in. Now has 5 total-- 3 top and 2 bottom
• figured out how to sit up after being on his tummy
• moves all around the floor
• plunged into crawling. ya know, the face plants and such. BUT...he can go hand, knee, hand, knee before collapsing!!

go carson GO!

• overcame one of the worst diaper rashes I have ever seen. It burned off a layer of skin and kept him awake and crying almost 48 hours! Still have no idea what caused it
• learned to wave
• figured out how to move through the entire house in his walker
• lost some weight--he went down 2 pounds from his 6 month check up. is around 20 lbs
  
• can give out high-fives
• loves to go to the park and go down the slides and swing on the swings




• learned how much fun sniffing is. he scrunches his nose and does it til we laugh
• is a mama's boy. if he's feeling needy, we have to pry his arms off. still is ok with strangers though, he just prefers mom.
• last night he slept through the night for the FIRST time ever! from 8:30pm to 8:00am. it's amazing what a full tummy, no diaper rash and no teething can do!
• is finding his inner nerd. he doesn't want to just look like his daddy, he wants to act like him too!

How I love this boy. I can't imagine not being with him every day.
