8 months

 Little baby Hunter is looking more like a little boy now! He is growing too quickly.

At 8 months- we can now add yet another ear infection.. or maybe its been 2 since he was 7 months. I've lost track by now... Actually, in the top picture you can't tell that he's actually miserable with a double ear infection and a sinus cold, again. I am getting pretty good at knowing when he has one becuase of the instant runny nose and sleepless nights... so we went yet again to the Dr. this week.

-weighs 22 pounds 4 oz
-measures 29 1/4 inches
-is such a little ham... He will smile or laugh at anyone; he's so friendly! Still very content and currently loves walking by holding our hands or in his walker...

Here he was standing against his toy all by himself!

 

-Has 1 tooth.. but his other bottom tooth and 2 top teeth are sooo close! I think that's probably the reason for this ear infection.

-Takes great naps and still sleeps all night from about 8pm-7am

-Gets 4 bottles a day but seems like the more food he eats the less milk he wants lately.

- Dr. told us to wait until he is 10-11 months old to do whole milk because they can develop anemia since they don't eat meat yet...

-Just switched him to Enfamil Adavance which is just like the normal Enfamil brand... not the fussiness and gas one anymore (they were out of his normal at walmart and I figured I could try him on this one... plus its a little cheaper)

-size 4 diapers

-size 12 month pants and 12-18 month shirts

-loves Mickey! We have decided to have a Mickey birthday for him since Mickey Mouse is his favorite. He will watch full episodes, yet I don't like to let him this young!

-starting to say mama and dada even though he doesnt know what they mean yet, haha

-LOVES little kids.. any baby or child can entertain him for hours. He so badly wants to do what they are doing

-also seems like he says "hi" sometimes

-waves bye bye and gives kisses!

-starting to clap, but when he gets excited he more so likes to flail his arms all over!

-Overall not much has changed since 7 months.. he seems to be slowing down on growing lately

I am anxious to see if the doctor says anything about tubes for his ears when we see her next month...not that I want another surgery for him, but I also don't want him to have scar tissue or hearing damage.

 

We love our little Hunter boy!
