Connor 8 Months

You have a tooth! One popped through a few days ago and it feels like the other bottom front is coming right behind it.

We have finally started on some real solids. You aren't a big eater yet but you get pretty unhappy if you are left out at meals. You have had kale, chicken, steak, ground beef, avocado, egg yolk, cucumber, and red pepper.

Separation anxiety has definitely kicked in. You have been much less happy to play by yourself on the floor and you get pretty fussy when I come back even if you have happily been playing with someone else while I was gone.

You love standing! It's pretty funny because lately you have been resisting being put on your bottom and want to be held up or propped up on your feet. You will even try to take a few steps if we support your weight.

You have really started rolling around. Until now you only rolled to get off your belly, but now we sometimes find you pretty far from where we put you down.

You are so close to crawling! You can lunge forward onto your hands and knees from sitting and if I hold your knees under you you can walk your hands forward but you end up dropping your hips because you haven't figured out what to do with your legs yet.

I think you have started saying "All Done." It seems early but you definitely wave your hands when you are done eating or don't want to be doing something anymore which is the same thing right?

Your bedtime is still around 6:30/7 and lately you have been super fussy by the end of the day. You have been sleeping until between 12 and 2 then up every 1-2 hours after that. You are in this awkward place where 2 naps isn't quite enough but 3 naps is too much. I have started throwing you on my back in the evenings when I am making dinner and often you will fall asleep for 20 minutes or so.
