8 Months

And I'll say it again...time is flying by. I can not believe Ben is 8 months old! We now have a clapping, people food eating, opinionated son with 2 teeth! Gone are the days of  bottles every 2-3 hours. Ben now only has 4 or 5 bottles a day. He eats oatmeal with fruit for breakfast followed up with a bottle. Lunch is fruit and dinner is oatmeal with fruit and a vegetable both followed up with a bottle. His last bottle is around 7:30 pm before bed. He eats puffs, Cheerios, small pieces of fruit and bread for snacks. He loves drinking ice water of of his sippy cups. And whenever we are at the table eating he insists on eating as well. He sleeps a solid 12-14 hours a night with the occasional "I lost my bink" cry around 2 am. He loves playing with Miles & Zoie. He has very strong opinions and lets you know what he wants! He is starting to really hate it when people walk out of the room even if he can still see or hear you. He loves swimming-he could swim all day everyday! He isn't crawling yet but can get to where he wants to go by rolling. He is starting to pull himself up and is working on sitting up from a laying down position. I have no doubt he will be crawling soon and then our lives will forever be changed! He loves music and loves to dance-it is so dang cute! He is finally on a nice nap schedule. This has been my one struggle with him but now we have a great routine. One in the morning around 10 am for an hour or so and then again at 1:30ish for 1-3 hours.
