Seven - Eight Months Old

Emerson seems to have hit a big spurt of milestones all at once. Within a few days of turning 8 months old, Emerson started to crawl, started standing up on his own and has popped two teeth.

We've tried hard to get a good shot of his teeth, but his checks get in the way. And if his checks aren't in the way, his tongue is. If his tongue isn't in the way, he's flailing his arms around and defending his face. It's rare that we get to see the pearly whites, but sure as shit, they are there.

  • Crawling like a crazy man
  • In size 3 diapers
  • Pulling himself up 
  • Eating solids 2-4 times a day. He loves fruit and eats just about everything. He isn't a huge fan of broccoli
  • He is putting everything in sight in his mouth
  • 2 bottom teeth
  • Weighs about 20lbs
  • Had his first flu shots
  • Occasionally he wakes up in the middle of the night crying. Most likely it is because he wants to be held. We have been trying to sleep train him and let him 'cry it out'. We usually fail.
  • Its gotten extremely difficult to change him without him squirming around!
  • He has a new love in his life: Lola Keach (Jessica and Matias's new baby girl!)
  • He celebrated dad's birthday for the first time. We went to the Jelly Belly and Budweiser factory
  • We baby proofed the house; but we most likely have a lot more to do
  • Emerson loves pulling on our records. We have to keep an eye on him every second
  • He watched the SuperBowl for the first time. I think he was bored
  • He likes us to read Dr. Seuss books to him
  • His friend at day care is named Maddie (she has bright red hair)
  • His poops are pretty solid and stinky!
  • He loves bath time. He splashes so hard, we have to block him with a towel so he doesn't flood the bathroom
  • He is sitting in his stroller like a big boy (no more car seat)
  • He LOVES the guitar and having Morgan put on a special concert for him
