Gabriel Michael is 8 months old!! I have a big happy boy and I just love him to pieces! We had some big changes lately due to some health issues with me. I weaned Gabriel from breastfeeding and started him on formula. He is doing extremely well with it. He eats 3 solid meals a day and has 3-4 bottles. Here's what else he is up to....
- Weighs 24 lbs 1.5 ounces (Just went back to the pedi because I thought he still had an ear infection but he didn't!)
- Wears size 4 diapers and 12-18 month clothes.
- Super ACTIVE - he never stops moving! He wiggles in your arms and is very hard to hold sometimes unless he is sleepy.
- Happy most of the time unless he is tired or hungry
- Squeals, laughs, clicks his tongue and has really started to babble - dadadada and lalala mostly
- Very ticklish - especially on his thighs
- Loves to bite things - he has 8 teeth! four on the top and 4 on the bottom. It really hurts!
- Pulls up and stands on EVERYTHING - doesn't really want to sit or lay down to play anymore. He even uses his mouth/teeth as a third arm to pull him up. I am going to need to lower the crib mattress!
- Kisses and pulls your face to his
- Grunts when he wants something
- Turns his head away when he is finished eating or pushes your hands away
- Can grab small bites of food and feed himself (yogurt melts, puffs, small pieces of bread, etc)
- Loves to play with his brother
- Loves to be outside
- Everything goes in his mouth
- Loves to eat my mom's chicken veggie soup pureed!
- Can get on all fours - hands and feet not knees and tries to walk/crawl. He's so close! He can get where he wants to go by scooting
- Can easily get to a sitting position when laying on his stomach
- Likes to sleep on his tummy and side
