8 Months

Carter is 8 months old today. He is wearing size 3 diapers. He weighs 21 pounds. He is wearing 9-12 month clothing and wears a size 3 in shoes. He has his 2 middle teeth on the bottom and he is drooling like crazy, so more teeth must be on the way! He is eating rice cereal and all sorts of baby foods and crackers. He still does not love the rice cereal or most baby foods other than apples, pears, sometimes banana, sweet potato, and squash, but we still try everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He has even started eating table foods like waffles, pancakes, bread, crackers, and other little things. He seems to enjoy table food much better. I think he just likes feeding himself and making a mess! He loves sleeping in his crib. He stretches out and sleeps so well! I still watch the monitor all night and check on him a million times. I doubt I will never sleep through the night again! He sits up really well on his own now and rolls all over the place. Carter has become a complete chatter box and we even got a "ma ma" on Saturday! I have it on video to prove it. He still loves Yo Gabba Gabba or anything on Nick Junior. We started watching Mickey's Playhouse and he loves that too. I think he is fascinated with the TV and all the colors. He is such a good baby and we are so in love. We can't believe it has already been 8 months! Seriously where do the minutes, hours, days, and months go? He is getting big so fast and it makes this mama so sad.
