{Ryder :: 8 months}

 At 8 months, our little monster is:

• Sitting like a champ
• A happy guy most of the time with a smile that melts hearts
• Has 2 teeth on his bottom gums
• Loves to eat... graham crackers, fruit, and cheerios being his food of choice
• Babbling all the time
• Not yet crawling, he pretty much hates being on his stomach at any time and every time we try to get him onto all fours he just puts his face on the ground and cries
• Loves to stand any time someone will steady him
• Super close to being able to "pull to stand" but is working on those leg muscles
• Not sleeping as well as he has in the past. We blame the teething. It's kind of a gamble and some nights he sleeps 12 hours while other nights he is up 3-4 times.
• Growing some serious hair on that cute little head of his
• Reaching out for us (he definitely likes us better than other people... win!)
• Now fits in a wide range of sizes, 6-9 months still fit but we also are transitioning into the 9-12 month size
• Still dealing with some reflux but as long as we keep meals/snack small and frequent it seems to be better
• Such a flirt, whenever we are out and about he loves to smile at everyone around us and babble until they talk back
• A drool monster... see below picture

 Aren't we done yet?
