8 Month Birthday

8 Months





This month has passed too quickly!  We are settling down in the back-to-school/almost Fall routine.  Cameron has made great physical strides this month.  He is a full time crawler in proper crawling form.  September 1st he began to pull up.  He had it mastered by September 2nd.  Pulling up and sitting down over and over again.  So happy with himself, too!

 Cameron still sleeps from 8pm-8am.  On occasion I put him down a bit early.  He naps from 10/10:15-12pm and 1:45-4pm. Later last week it was a bit rough with the naps.  He decided he'd try to strike.  For two days during the afternoon nap he cried for about an hour.  Thankfully he is not the strong willed one.  He caught on quickly and has resumed napping peacefully. 

I dropped his before nap feeding this month, so he nurses four times a day.  8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm.  He eats solids three times a day.  8:30am- Oatmeal, 12:30pm a fruit or vegetable and rice or oatmeal, 5pm a vegetable and rice or oatmeal.  This month we added cheerios, chunks of bananas (instead of puree), and whole milk yogurt.  It has taken his system 2 weeks to get used to the yogurt.  He loves yogurt!  His only consistent sign right now is "more" and of course it is because he wants more food and FASTER!

My baby is growing up and I'm not sure how I feel about that.  We have begun to discipline regularly at the table.  Cameron loves to bang on his tray and watch the cheerios or puffs fly around.   I have to get stern with him and it is hard sometimes.  He just sits there and smiles back.

AWANA

Alexis started AWANA at a local church two weeks ago.  Last week she received her Cubbie vest, bag, and book.  She's a little unfocused in the video above, but overall is doing very well.  We are so proud of her!
This weeks verse is Romans 3:23  "All have sinned"  We talked about how "all" means everybody.  She was especially interested in how her Mommy and Daddy have sinned.
