Eight Month Letter

Milo boy,

Eight months old and you are finally sitting! I can't leave you alone because you only sit for 20-30 seconds at a time, but you're sitting! We are all so excited about it, and you are so proud of yourself.  You do pretty good until something catches your attention and you look to the side or behind you, then you just topple over.  Sometimes cooper thinks it's funny to push you over and you don't think it's all that funny. Pretty soon you'll just push him back, don't worry.


You're starting to sleep better at night! Sometimes you still wake up once during the night and want a bottle, but you eat it and then go right back to sleep without a peep.  And then sometimes you just sleep all night long until 6 or 6:30.  I really love those nights best.  But, what I would really love is if you'd sleep in just a little longer.  Maybe 7 or so? If you did that then your nap would line up with your brother's and I would get a little break during the day.  Just consider it, OK?



So you starting snacking this month.  I've given you little puffs and bits of yogurt bits and you love both of them.  It's the cutest thing to see you just chomping away on those snacks, it sure makes you look old!  You haven't quite figured out how to pick them up and put them in your mouth though.  So right now I'm feeding them to you, but you'll get a hang of it eventually!


You are rolling and inching your way across the floor to go anywhere you want these days.  It's not crawling, it's more of a "bridge".  You lay on your back and arch your back, you put all your weight on your head and push as you dig your heels into the ground.  Sound complicated? Yes, that's because you're making it much harder then it needs to be.  But, it gets you around the room little by little. So I guess it works out.  I can't leave you alone for more than a few minutes before you can literally move from one side of the room to the other in 2 minutes.


Now that you're sitting you're able to play with your brother a little more and I love to watch that.  It's more like cooper piles his toys on and around you and then takes them all out of your hands as soon as you reach for one.  But, it's interaction and I love it!

My sweet Milo, I love you.

Love, Mom
