8 Months

8 Months Update

Tuesday 8th January 2019

 

December is a festive time of year. It is also when my baby boy turned 8 months old. He is getting so big already. He is in size 0 clothes. He has cute little chubby feet that make shoes hard to fit his feet, not that we have really tried. Baby's don't really need shoes.

He has 6 teeth, four at the top and two at the bottom. All his hair has grown back after the cradle cap he had, which he is completely clear of now. His eczema is doing great now that we have found an eczema cream that works for him. However, now that he can crawl which is super exciting, his crawling around started to agitate the eczema on his legs. The hot weather also isn't good for it. I'll have a future blog post completely dedicated to his eczema. 

His first word was "Dada" but his favourite word to say is "Mama". When he is upset or really tired he repeatedly says "Mama" it's so cute! He also says "Bubba" a lot as well.

He is currently about 72cm tall and weight's about 9kg. He's got beautiful dark brown/hazel eyes, and his hair is light brown/blonde. 

Feeding
We started Erik on solid at about 4 months, but we weren't very consistent at giving it to him every single day. Then when he turned 6 months we got better at it and started feeding him solids twice a day, morning and night. He is still having regular breastfeeds throughout the day, and two to three at night. 

Sleep
Erik wakes up between 8:30 - 9:30am. Then about an hour and a half later, he is ready for a feed and his first nap. Which usually lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. Then he stays awake and plays until 1 or 2pm and has a big feed and a long nap, usually between 45 minutes and 2 hours. When he wakes up he stays awake until around 7 or 8pm, he sleeps for about an hour then ha a fed then, falls back asleep and sleeps for the rest of the night. Except for the feds but he doesn't really wake up.

Erik is growing really well and developing normally. I'm so happy with how he is growing up into a beautiful little boy. He is happy all the time, such a happy little boy.
