Mr. Laken! This kiddo has grown and changed so much this past month. He is on the move and crawling everywhere! We call him our little explorer. He is so curious and wants to be by the action or more often is creating his own action. He is still a sweet, happy baby who loves his brothers, Daddy and Mommy.
He wears size 9 month or 9-12 Month clothes and size 3 diapers.
He now eats 3 meals (pureed food) per day and drinks bottles in between meals. He is a pretty good eater now. We have tried finger foods a few times, but he is not very interested right now.
He still has only 2 bottom teeth.
Laken is no longer a fan of the hair dyer or going though the car wash. He often cries or fusses.
He cannot yet pull himself up to standing, but he is always trying to pull himself up and can pull himself up to his knees.
He usually goes to bed around 8pm and gets up around 6:30-7am. He will usually take a morning nap and an afternoon nap. He goes to bed really well at night and for naps. We usually do the blankie test with him before laying him down. We'll hold him and hand his blanket to him. If he grabs it and snuggles with it then he's tired and ready for a nap! If not, we'll usually wait and try again a bit later.
Kempton was so happy to match Laken
Playing with bubble wrap at school
Crawling around the corner to find Mommy in the morning as I get lunches packed for the day.
He's always so happy!
Playing at school
He loves looking out the window. He's still a bit wobbly, but getting better!
Hanging out while Kempton plays soccer
Trouble!
Yoga at school :)
Watching Kempton play soccer
Playing with Cohen!
He pulled himself up to standing, but then just cried because he couldn't figure out how to sit back down! Haha
The boys wanted to play Hide and Seek with Laken! Cracks me up! They wanted to play with him because "he's really good at finding things" Like little things on the floor that freak mom out!
Waking up to this! Hey Mom!
Here are so videos from the past month!
Crawling to find Mommy. He is always so genuinely happy! :)
Bugging Kempton! Ha. Laken kept trying to get the cars that Kempton was playing with and Kempton was so frustrated. Perhaps this will help Kempton understand how annoying that is, and he'll stop doing the same thing to Cohen!
Playing with Kempton
Kempton trying to read a story to Laken!
Kempton was sitting with me while I gave Laken a bath. He can always make Laken laugh! Then Kempton says, "He's saying something, Mommy! Yay! Good Job, Lake! Lakey, you so cool. You can talk now!" Melt my heart!
Happy 8 Months, Laken!
