Colton is 8 months!

I am finally getting back on track about the monthly updates....


AT EIGHT MONTHS colton IS....


...wearing size 2 diapers, probably going to size three soon...
...wearing size 6-12mo clothes...
...wearing size 2 & 3 shoes...although he still fits in to his size 1 dc's that eric bought him the day after he was born...ps they are the best baby shoes ever! good job honey!

...he is scooting & partial crawling. i stand corrected when i posted that he was crawling...but he is moving all over the house! the funniest thing is right now he gets on all fours and tucks one leg under so he is crawling with three limbs and drags one... crawling? i guess not but pretty much! it is so fun and i can't believe he is moving around already! we had to re-baby proof the house! good thing we have the shark cleaner thanks to grandma & grandpa...we use it everyday!


...he loves to EAT! surprising since he is in the 14%tile in weight??? i know surprised me too. dr. is not worried so i am not going to worry either... his favorites this month have been my grandma's homemade "tocco" spaghetti sauce, bananas, oatmeal with wild blueberries (daddy makes it the best & he does not like baby oatmeal it has to be real), my homemade applesauce...YUMMO...cherrios, gerber puffs...banana flavor is his favorite, and one more addition poppy seed muffins from costco. He serves himself too... it is the cutest thing ever.


he is also eating...in baby food: all squashes (i mostly home-make all my veggies), broccoli (his least favorite right now although he liked it last month), loves all the fruit combos,  doesn't love green veggies right now but will eat them if they are mixed with meat, loves chicken, beef and has one jar of ham. in big people food he has had: refried beans, spanish rice, sushi rice, chow mein noodles, spaghetti noodles, already mentioned oatmeal & blueberries. WOW that is a pretty big list for an 8 month old...


what else fun....


...he is the happiest baby i have ever met. smiles all the time. when he is not smiling it breaks your heart.


...he is teething... and it is not pretty...poor guy can barley sleep....


...he poses for the camera already. my nikon has a light that activates when focusing.... it his colton's prompt to SMILE! it is so so so cute!


...he loves his big sister. even though she is rough with him at times. he loves laughing with her. they love playing tickel. he loves listening to her "read", loves playing with her toys phones in particular, and grabbing her milk cup. {since he has an interest we are now giving him his own sippy cup...oh the things you learn with baby no. 2}


....he loves to DANCE. we have music on in our house all the time. all kinds...eric and i listen to such a variety. the other day eric said he had to wait for colt to stop dancing to give him another bite of food. his new favorite cd is the one auntie nine & uncle ryan got him for his baptism....every time it says "colton" he smiles the biggest grin and is so proud. on that note his favorite song is "happy and you know it" he is so proud that he can now clap his hands (sometimes he misses...haha)


i think that is all the main things for this month....
right now i do not have his official 8 month pics. we took them with jana beck and i am patiently waiting...well not so patient...i loved my sneak peek and i cant wait to see all of them! so i'll post those once i get them! woo hoo!
