8 Month update

This year is just flying by! Seems like yesterday Reeden was a tiny baby, now he is 8 months old!!

Height/Weight: I still don't have any accurate measurements for him. Next month at his 9 month visit we will see how much he has gained and grown:)

Routine: Our days usually go like this...

8:00/8:30- wakes and has his bottle
9:30- he takes his morning nap which varies in time from half and hour to an hour and a half!
10:30- plays in the floor with toys, then in his walker while I go about my morning routine.
12:00/12:30- lunch time
1:00- more playtime, outside time if the weather is good.
2:00/2:30- has his afternoon nap
4:00- he has a bottle and baby food
5:00- usually playtime with daddy while I fix dinner.
6:00/6:30- eats dinner with us(usually snacks on puffs or mum-mums)
8:00- time for cereal and his night time bottle
9:00- time to start settling down, we read a book to him or he plays with soft quiet toys.
9:30/10:00- Bedtime

Sleeping: Reeden is still doing great with sleeping through the night. He takes 2 naps a day, every once in a while he will have 3 if one of them is shorter than usual.

Eating: Reeden still has the same eating schedule as last month. The boy loves his puffs, banana, sweet potato, yogurt, strawberry-apple, doesn't matter the flavor, he LOVES them.

Sizes: Reeden now wears 12 month clothing! He is still in size 3 diapers and size 3 shoes.

                                                     Milestones:
Says mama, dada, baba, papaw,bye, and hello

Waves hello and bye bye

Pulling up on everything

Plays peek-a-boo

Sings and dances when music is playing, or when he is "playing" music :)

Happy Anniversary!!

Marriage is amazing and the biggest blessing in my life, (besides the birth of our son) but it's not all rainbows and sunshine. We have gone through some rough times together- it is work! Years passed, went through a deployment, school started, a baby was brought into this world and here we are- seven years later. I am still proud.  Every once in a while our marriage goes through the "normal" cycle and we get to a point where the quirks we each have start to bother us when they normally wouldn't. Phone calls are less frequent, and we spend less time together and more time in front of the computer or tv. Those are the times, I think, that count the most, the times when instead of calling it quits, or becoming even more distant, we remember what is most important and get back in sync.

Seven years ago we shared the most perfect day, we have had so much fun, just the two of us! But on November 14th, 2012 our love grew even larger, when we welcomed our precious baby boy! Now we can have even more fun and memories, just the 3 of us:)  I can't wait to see what the future has in store for our little family. Happy 7th Anniversary!
