Malcolm and Lucinda are eight months old!
They are getting so big! We've had a very busy month, with lots of visitors.
Other exciting things have happened this month, too:
- they got a new bathtub!
- they learned to hold their own bottles!
- they've been eating finger foods!
At eight months, Malcolm Walter...
- weighs about 21 pounds
- wears 12 month clothes, and size 3 diapers.
- sleeps through the night, and takes three naps a day.
- eats 32 oz of formula a day, plus three solid meals. He still likes everything he tries, and especially enjoys avocado, Cheerios and pears.
- is really good with his hands, including picking up finger foods.
- loves to bang things together and drop things on the floor to see what happens.
- has four teeth!
- is working on crawling, and is very frustrated that he hasn't gotten it yet.
- loves to blow raspberries.
- loves to sit with a basket of small toys, taking each one out one by one and studying it. Matt calls him the "little professor"
- loves his mom. Cries when I leave the room and reaches out his arms to be picked up. So far, the only place he has successfully crawled is into my lap.
- weighs about 16 pounds
- still wears 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. We think she's been going through a growth spurt, so maybe she'll finally be in her 6-9 month clothes soon.
- sleeps through the night and takes two naps a day. She's always the first one up in the morning, and unfortunately thinks we should all be up by 5:30 most mornings.
- eats 28-32 oz of formula a day, plus three solid meals. She loves finger foods, especially bananas coated in Cheerio dust, brocolli, and white beans.
- is crawling all over the place, and getting really fast!
- is starting to pull up!
- just really started babbling, and can say "dada"
- loves to splash around in the bath.
- is always on the go. She has so much energy and so much to do. And she thinks she's hilarious. She cracks herself (and us) up daily.
