Sunday was a big day at the Hunecke House! Mr. Maddox turned 8 months!!
Don't worry though, he feels pretty chill with it..............
Just making sure he didn't grow so fast he missed it!
So, Mr. Maddox, here's how you spend most of your days and some of your latest milestones:
You typically drink between 4 or 5, 4-6 oz bottles during the day.
The only food you haven't eaten with a grimace was the turkey and rice concoction from yesterday. (can't say I blame you!) Otherwise you eat like a champ with a small bowl of cereal in the morning with a fruit and vegetable at lunch and dinner.
Thankfully you have continued to be an AWESOME sleeper. We can usually put you down around 7:45 and you will sleep until 7:30 am. You take 2 naps during the day with a short one in the morning and a 2-3 hour one in the afternoon.
Most of your clothes are still 6 months but we have started dressing you in 9 month clothing as well. Usually the bottoms are huge but the shirts though big, aren't too terrible. We have you in size 3 diapers.
You are still quite the peanut weighing in right at 18 lbs. I don't know your height off hand but am guessing you have grown plenty.
You just began to walk behind the lion walker and have been getting pretty steady, not too long and I bet we have a walker- yikes!
We had to switch you into a "big boy" car seat because the carrier wasn't cutting it anymore. Your long legs were hanging out the bottom and Mommy accidentally hit them in a door jam thus decided it was time to upgrade!
Tubby time is still a favorite and we have transitioned out of the whale and into sitting in the tub itself. You seem to really love the fact that you can move around and splash as you please. Mommy should let you play longer but typically you are fine getting out when it is time.
Pulling yourself up on EVERYTHING has become a well rehearsed and has given Mommy and Daddy MANY heart attacks! These days you really don't need anything to climb on to stand now. We have seen you crawl up a wall even in pure determination to get up! Auntie April and I even witnessed you standing up on your own and you did fine till you realized what you were doing.....
You crawl everywhere and do the funniest thing when you don't like the surface you are crawling on. You get up on all fours and book it to carpet or anything besides grass, tile, linoleum, and wood. So basically, if it isn't carpet you aren't on your hands and knees!
The camera flashes and you are cheesing it up. You know where your roots are! Nana Ros is so proud. Well you are good at this UNLESS we go to get your picture taken. Seems like we walk in the store and you get crabby and uncooperative!
You are VERY vocal with all your laughing, screaming, talking, babbling saying things like: ma ma, da- da- da- da- da, "uh oh", bababababab, the lip buzzing, and some other funny noises.
Your giggle is SO infectious. Never takes me long to turn a grumpy mood around when you throw that my way. Same with your smile. I love that you recognize me now! Nothing better than picking you up at daycare and being greeted with that silly grin!
Still only have your 2 bottom teeth. You got those when Mommy was in Florida for work and have LOVED to gnaw on EVERYTHING! One thing Mommy isn't too happy about is that you seem to have gnawed your way around the edge of your crib. We know it isn't a fluke, and it isn't Bear, because there are 2 little spots where your cute little teeth would be......
You make the funniest faces now too. When you are tooling around on the floor you stick your bottom lip out, it is so funny!
You are still great at entertaining yourself. We can put you amongst your toys and you are set. I love that but it also makes me a little sad, you are so independent already!
You are the most easy going, loving, sweet, cuddly, wonderful, amazing, and special little man. We love to watch you grow and change and can't wait to see you continue on your journey!! Happy 8 month birthday little man!!!
