Eight Months Old with GrandCracker & Grandmomma

Happy Eight Months!  You are so loved!

Alexander turned Eight Months while we were in Colorado.  I cannot believe how fast time is going, despite being told this would happen by every parent I know.

GrandCracker got him a birthday cake


Needless to say, he loved it!  He was such a mess, he ended up having THREE baths this day.

GrandCracker also got him his own Radio Flyer classic wagon, and Xander could not have been more thrilled.

They took a ride down the driveway

After the thrill of the race ride, GrandCracker took Xander on a stroll all over the beautiful property of the house.  Xander's eyes were wide as he took in every flower, insect, and sight there was around him.


At eight months, Alexander
Eats 6 oz every 3 hours
Eats solids twice a day, but still prefers purees (he has begun hoarding food in his cheeks if it isn't pureed)
Scoots/ crawls backwards at school, but at home still prefers to flip to get around
Sleeps primarily through the night, going down between 7 and 8 and waking up to eat between 4 and 5 and then for the day between 5 and 6
Takes two or three naps a day, from 30 minutes to two hours, unless we're on the go, in which case he takes cat naps throughout the day
Loves to wave and high five and will clap when he's excited, but not on command
Loves singing and animals
Sleeps with his blanket
Still weighs about 20lbs
His little strawberry on his head is getting smaller already!
He can flip himself over and float!
Does not enjoy the survival swim skills, but still absolutely loves the water, both bath time and pool, ocean, lake, or open water time
He can clap, wave, and give high fives
