8 months!

Happy 8 months, Jake!

Jake has been very busy rolling around & scooting on his tummy. He can make his way across his bedroom to get to a toy or to the rocker or basically whatever he is interested in. 

When he's not babbling or yelling, he is making a sucking noise with his mouth & lips which he finds hilarious. 

He is still a very happy baby but he's figuring out how to throw a mini tantrum when he doesn't get something that he wants (usually this has to do with food). 

I've heard that he also gets jealous at daycare when it's the other baby's turn to eat or get a bottle. 

We installed his convertible carseat- which he can use through toddlerhood- and he seems to like it much better than his infant bucket seat. It looks pretty comfy to me & it even has cupholders!

Jake still loves his bouncer, sitting on the couch and playing with his box of toys, eating & going for walks. He also really likes his quiet time in his crib just playing with a blankie & relaxing. 

He has become a very good daytime napper at home and is starting to get used to napping at daycare. 

At night, he usually only wakes once to nurse somewhere between 2-4am. He usually wakes for the day around 7am. 

He does not like when we put sunscreen on him or when we wipe him down after he makes a mess eating. He also hates getting his nails trimmed.  

Recently he has also started to protest during diaper changes. It's like changing the diaper on the tasmanian devil. Not fun. He rolls & thrashes & it's near impossible to get the diaper fastened. 

So he has started to get a firm "no" from me when he does this and I try to change that thing as fast as I can.

Our next doctors appointment is at 9 months- can't wait to see how much he's grown!
