It's hard to believe that Henry is already 8 months old! Where does the time go?! He's developing by leaps and bounds:
He can now stand with support for minutes at a time. He pulls himself up on everything: coffee tables (see below), walkers, his activity center, etc.
He crawls really well, albeit with his upper body mostly. Dan and I think that he'll start walking before he masters crawling.
His laughter is contagious. We'll both be laughing like crazy!
H makes repetitive sounds, such as "Mamamamama" and "Dadadadada".
Most nights, he's able to sleep without disruption. This week has been hard because he's had a head cold. The bulb syringe is his enemy. I feel like I'm abusing the kid every time I suction him. I broke down and bought a Nosefrida, which got really good reviews. We'll see if that's easier.
7 teeth have broken through!
Henry is a good eater. I started buying Earth's Best baby food in the jar when he turned 6 months, and I have since branched out to food pouches (Plum Organics and Happy Baby are our favorites). H has been eating fruits and veggies mostly. His favorite food right now is apple sauce. I started incorporating turkey and chicken this week, and it has taken him some time to get used to the textures. He nurses primarily, but I notice that he seems less interested in the boob.
