8 months old

Wasn't it just yesterday I was holding my teeny 4 pound preemie???

It's amazing how quickly this year is going by. I mean, Darren is 8 months old... how can that be? I am cherishing these days with Darren being little and learning new things. I just love having a baby in the house. Don't grow up little buggy! 

Age: EIGHT months old

Weight & height: I have no idea. ;)

one of my favorite pictures :)

Sleep: Darren is an amazing sleeper.  He takes 2 naps during the day and sleeps through the night. He sleeps 7pm-7am, sometimes going down at 6:30 because he's so tired at night.

Foods: Darren has tried bananas, peas, carrots, applesauce, blueberry/quinoa mix, black beans, and yellow squash... he is a fan of everything but had a hard time eating the black beans because I need to puree them more. I tried puffs the other day and he gagged, so we are sticking to nursing and 1 small pureed meal. He is definitely eating at his adjusted age, 6 months.

Favorite activity: Chewing on everything in sight. Rolling. Laughing. and Bouncing in his jumper.

Signature Moves: Rolling everywhere. You can see his mind thinking about it... I'll move a toy for him to try and crawl to, but instead he turns his body and then rolls toward the toy. It's fun to watch. He is starting to get up on all 4s and rock back and forth... crawling in the near future!!

Sweet Moments: Darren is our snuggler, so any time I get to hold him and rock him to sleep has been so so sweet for me. Also his laugh. He laughs so much, especially at Winnie. He has the best little giggle.

she loves him so much 

Other Milestones: Darren has TWO adorable little teeth on the bottom that are through.

Working on: Taking a bottle... crawling...  sitting up... eating more foods...

working on sitting up!

trying to get Aubrey's attention. :)

Mommy loves you Darren <3
