EIGHT MONTH UPDATE!!!

Baby Bentley is EIGHT MONTHS OLD this week!  He's doing GREAT ~ so happy!  He really is such a happy, chill little guy.  He's growing and changing so much now!

He's eating lots of different foods and he's up to three solid meals a day.  He's even eating proteins now...some gross mashed up turkey and chicken stuff.  And you saw that he's enjoying his apple flavored puffs.  He's actually improved a lot in terms of picking them up & getting them into his mouth in just a few days.  He is always very excited once he knows its mealtime!


He's enjoying all of his organic foods - fruits, veggies, mixes, proteins now, and his oatmeal/cereal.


He actually seems to enjoy his little Exersaucer gym thing finally.  It's hilarious when he gets going screaming up a storm while he's in there.


And now he seems to have found himself in the teeny mirror...


He also likes his jumpy swing more now and can stand in it; and we're working on his standing skills!  He's got tree trunks for legs...like someone else I know in his direct gene pool...and he's really getting strong.  He can stand leaning against the table or couch...with a "spotter" of course...and will stand for awhile if you're supporting him.

We are still swimming ~ starting a new session which will go through April.  He's getting more used to the water and loves playing with his cousins.  He'll splash and kick around now!

His teeth are coming in at a rapid rate!  It is NOT safe to put a finger in his mouth ~ he bites!  (Fitting that he has on his "Chomp" bib here...).  His two bottom teeth are in so he looks like a little beaver; he has his two top middle teeth that have broken through, plus an eye tooth.  He's been fussy & extra mucusy so I think his other eye tooth isn't far behind. 


It's so fun waking up...OK, when he wakes me up...to this every day...


Overall he is doing SO well ~ a very happy baby and healthy as well.  He LOVES to eat his solids so I'll be curious about his weight at his 9 month appointment in April.  He is so cute and a joy to be around!
