Jedidiah ---> 8 months

Jed- you've been here for 8 months now. We love you more and more each day. 

Here's your "stats":

Height: 27 inches

Weight: 21 pounds 

Clothes: you are starting to be too long for 9 month old clothes so you mainly 12 month old clothes. 

Diapers: size 3

Eating: You drink a bottle every 3 hours during the day for Oma. I feed you before I leave for work and then when I get home. You nurse every 2-3 hours on the weekends.

You love food! You had your first cake- you had some birthday cake at mommy & daddy's birthday party. There's really not a food you don't love. You'll eat anything we give you. You love bananas and waffles!

Sleeping: You still sleep in your bassinet but you'll be moving to your crib this month since you can sit up in your bassinet now. You go to bed between 7:30/8:00 each night and you sleep till 7am. 

Happenings this month:

+you decided that now was a good time to start crawling for real. Now you go anywhere and everywhere. 

+you love standing and pulling yourself up.

+you got a new tooth! You got a tooth on the top now. This one made you miserable and you & mommy slept on the couch for 2 days because you only wanted to be held.

+It's your first Valentine's day! You turned 8 months on Valentine's Day. 

+you love going swimming. We've taken you to the YMCA a couple times and you enjoy floating around and splashing.

Jedidiah- you are the most content baby ever. The only time you're ever mad is when you're hungry or tired. 

You love mommy, daddy and Amelia! And you love your doggies Dixie and Clementine. 

We love watching you grow each month and are excited to see where life takes you.
