Maddox - 8 months

March 21, 2016

Baby Stats:

Weight

Not sure...did not weigh him

Length

27.5" @ 6 month check up

Sleep

Still sleeping great. Goes to bed around 7 and wakes in the 6 am hour to eat. Sometime we have to wake him. There was one horrible night a few weeks ago and OMG it was something I have never experienced with Turner. Maddox was teething so bad (and his amber necklace was not on...I swear by that thing). He woke at 11:50 and screamed on and off every 10 minutes until 2:30 where he finally fell asleep on me on the couch. Then woke at 4:30 at which I had to change him because his diaper leaked and then he fell back asleep back in the crib until his normal waking time. This mama was exhausted the next day. It was worse than the newborn stage. I'm so glad it was only one night and now I NEVER forget to put his necklace back on (around his ankle at night).

Daily Routine

Wakes everyday at 6:30/7 ish. I nurse him. Eats breakfast. Goes to daycare and gets 3 bottles while there each containing 5oz of breast milk. Eats lunch @ daycare with food I pack. Gets nursed at 5 and then eats dinner with us. Gets bottle @ bed time at 7 containing 5oz of breast milk.

Feeding

Champ eater! Loves everything we give him. Gets 3 solid meals a day now, morning, lunch and dinner. Mostly veggies for lunch and dinner. a fruit and/or oatmeal for breakfast.

Still doing a mix of purees and baby led weaning.

Diaper Size

Still rocking cloth diapers during the day and he is in size 3 Honest brand diapers at night. 

Clothes Size

Still fitting in 6 month onesies. Pants are getting a bit small as they are too short. 6 month sleepers are also getting small. Using a mix of both 6 and 9 month size.

Hair Color

His hair is growing at a rapid pace I feel like. It's very brown and the top is longer than the rest which is fun to play with. He actually has a nice self made mohawk and it's so cute!

Eye Color

Still blue and his lashes are growing so fast. I'm happy to see he is going to have long lashes like my other 2 boys!!!!

Milestones

3 teeth with the 4th coming through.
I'm doing this a month late so I have forgotten everything else

Likes

Still loving his thumb!
Eating...kid loves to eat.
To be tickled.
Smiling - he is seriously the happiest baby and barely ever cries.
Will hang out in his crib after nap time and wait for us...it's seriously so awesome.

Dislikes

Sitting up on his own. He would rather be on his belly or back.

Waiting for food too long while in high chair.

Mama

I have nothing :)
