Our Eight Month Old

Time flies! Just a few short weeks ago we though Owen was so big at seven months...we can't wait to see what eight months has in store! This month was very eventful. Owen has decided to make the last week in particular jam packed with excitement. Some highlights:


**He has a tooth! His bottom left tooth finally poked through last Thursday. The gum on top of his other bottom from one is very bumpy. I'm thinking we'll probably see that one soon!

**Last Thursday he also developed a runny nose and cough. I chalked it up to the tooth to begin with, but after it gradually got worse all weekend, I decided it was time for a trip to the doctor on Monday. Good thing we went! The poor guy had an ear infection and broncholitis. He had to have an x-ray, is on two different antibiotics, and is using a nebulizer at least 4 times a day. Poor guy! Thankfully he has been very pleasant through the whole thing and is on the way to recovery!

**On the way home from the sitters Tuesday I heard him jabbering from the backseat. It continued all night. It was music to his father's ears...we are constantly hearing his new favorite sound, "dadadadada".

**He's not crawling yet but has really got into rolling to what he wants. He's been able to roll over for awhile, but wouldn't put a chain of them together to get anywhere. Now there's no stopping him!

**He's still loving the fruit. He's also had chicken, and we're finally back to eating veggies (if you mix them with fruit!). He's also tried the Baby Mum Mum crackers, but isn't too excited about them. He'd rather beat them on his high chair tray than eat them.
