~8 And 9 Months~

So I clearly missed Easton's 8 month update so I will just combine them in this post. I feel like Easton has just bloomed over these last couple of months. They are not kidding when they say kids are little sponges. Easton learns new things so fast. It amazes me how fast babies can pick up new things. With that being said, here are some fun facts about Easton:

-He is legit crawling now. At first he was just doing this weird crawl where he would roll to one side and push with his little legs and then roll to the other side and do the same thing. You don't realize how unbaby-proofed your house is until you have a baby that is mobile.

-He will fake cough and then think he is hilarious when he does it. It is really adorable. When he can't muster up a cough he makes the weirdest little gurgling noise. So funny.

-He loves bath time. He will kick and splash and scream the entire time.

-He eats anything and EVERYTHING. We have tried all kinds of different foods and he has eaten it all. He even chowed down on a lemon. He didn't really like it but he kept eating it.

-He isn't nursing as much anymore. He only nurses 4 or 5 times a day. He is starting to become more interested in real food. This makes me a little sad. I am going to be one sad mama when we are done nursing.

-He says "dada" all the time. I don't think he knows what it means but he loves that he can make that sound and get a reaction out of us.

-He HATES being told no. He will get the saddest look on his little face and then just start bawling.

-His naps are starting to get shorter and shorter. He used to take 3-4 hour naps and now we are lucky if he will sleep for 2 hours.

Now, here are his latest stats from the doctor:

-27 inches tall ------------------- 6th percentile
-17 pounds ----------------------- 9th percentile
-45.5 Head Circumference ---- 64th percentile

Due to his percentiles, I now refer to him as my T-Rex baby. He has a little body and a big head! I don't think it looks like he has a big head though. Maybe I just have mom eyes. I hope he grows a little more soon because it would suck to be little AND have the last name of Small. Trust me, I would know. ;)
