Dear Son, Well you are 8 Months Old already (well just about 9...because I could never get a post up and running on time) Oh well...it is what it is! I am sure I will get better at this! I really wish I kept track of all your milestones over these past 8/9 Months! Cause man I am forgetting when you did things! Oh well. I am sure that will get better too! So a lot has happened in the first few weeks of your 8 Months! I guess it's good I am a bit late...so that things can happen during this Month! We celebrated your 8 Months on Canada Day. It was fun. I think you really enjoyed yourself...even though you had a bit of a cold and were all snotty! :( poor little guy. But you were great...you are always so good when we go out. Lucky us! Such a happy Baby...Isaiah you always have a smile on your face...you love showing those 6 teeth of yours! Your hair is getting really long, I am thinking about cutting it a lot shorter...it is really hot out and all the hair that is growing is so short compared to the hair that is on top of your head. If you lift up the top hair...it looks like you have a mohawk it's so short under there! LOL! You love standing up...and you love walking (with someone holding you) Crawling is your new thing these days too...you have been doing it for about 3 Weeks now! We had our very first Road Trip away...on a Family Vacation! We went with Uncle Tyler, Aunt Kathy and Little Aaron! We went to Calgary...to the Zoo and to Heritage Park. I think you had tonnes of fun, and you were such a trooper...especially with some of the days being so long! You are so great Isaiah! We are really not to sure about what color your eyes are going to be. Right now they are a green/grey color and they have been like this for months now. So we are thinking they may stay this color...but you never know...I guess they can change and keep changing...sometimes they look more grey...sometimes more brown...sometimes even more blue! But this picture above shows that this is usually the color they are! You had your very first Swing ride...and you LOVED it...I was able to catch it on video and I am glad I did...because you laughed and smiled the whole time! precious moments! You are constantly go, go, go...you LOVE to crawl! We have to be very quick as to making sure you aren't getting into anything you aren't suppose to be into! So fast! You can also sit up from your tummy now too! You can also stand up from crawling...that seems to be your favorite thing to do (you just learned that within this past 2 weeks) You were lucky enough to have watermelon for the first time a week ago...and you loved it! Grandma spoiled you with watermelon when we went to visit her!!! A shot of your hair in the natural lighting! It is getting so much lighter now! It looks more like a reddish light brown now! But in the sun...you can see copper red! It's so beautiful! Grandma bought you a pool...and you loved taking a dip in it when the house was way to hot for you! We brought it home with us...so we will set it up on the balcony and when those hot days (like today) come around we can have fun playing in the water! You keep trying to climb out every now and again though...so we really need to watch you! haha! Grandma took you in the lake for the first time. Again you loved it...always a smile on your face! Your Grandma loves you so very much...I was happy to catch this moment between the two of you! So yeah Isaiah...you are getting into so much stuff now...you are such a busy little baby...
You are still eating solids, and still nursing (still loving it), you constantly crawl...you don't really lay there anymore, you love standing up from crawling...but you still haven't figured out how to sit back down from standing (you get mad and frustrated that you don't know how) I am trying to teach you how to fall on your bum, you love playing with anything that isn't a toy (so all of my stuff), you love going for walks (you just chill in your stroller and enjoy the fresh air) you don't mind being in the snuggly, you love talking...you say Mama, Baba, and you just learned how to say Dada like yesterday!, You are getting a little better with other people...still a bit strange when they first hold you, we are still using cloth diapers...and loving them, You miss you Daddy so much (while he is away at Rock Camp...he comes home tomorrow), You still sleep through the night (you may wake up once or twice to have a little snuggle), You are done teething...for right now, I am not sure what your weight is...but I am gonna guess 17 or 18 pounds, I think that is about it. Until the next update! I love you my son, -Your Mama ...following my dreams... -Cynthia

My Sweet Isaiah, I am behind on writing this post. You are actually 8 months now. But I took some notes for when you were 7 months. So I will do my best to make sure to include what you were up to a month ago! You are sure one smart cookie. It seems to take you a little bit longer to figure out stuff...like sitting up and what not. But when you do it the first few times you seem to get the hang of it (and other things) really quickly. Only a few days go by until you master a milestone you just learn! At 7 Months....you could sit up on your own. I would still always put pillows behind you so you didn't topple over. At 7 Months you still really enjoy playing with your toys and are pretty content for me to just sit you up and leave you for a few minutes while I go and do some chores! You are such a great baby Isaiah! I couldn't ask for a more chill child than you! We are sure blessed! You still really love your sleep...still sleeping anywhere from 9-11 hours a night! You sure love your milk still...I think nursing is your most favorite thing other than sleeping...but when you are awake and playing...as long as you are fed and changed you are probably the happiest baby I know! hehe ;) You love it when we stand you up and you grab our fingers and we walk you. When someone talks to you...you cannot help but to smile at them! You are talking so much more these days and saying words like "Ba Baba" and "Mama Ma" You still have a tired talk right before you fall asleep. It is especially cute when you do this in the car. I will have to get this on video soon...cause you have been doing this for months and I don't want to miss this moment on video. You are still a very good sleeper...we can place you in your crib and you will go right to sleep for the most part...you have your days where you just don't want to...but I am sure a lot of babes are like that too. You have a total of 6 teeth now. 2 on the bottom and 4 on the top. No sign of anymore coming for awhile though. So that's good. We got you your own teething necklace...to help with the pain a bit. We still take it off at night...but I think it does help ease the pain a bit! Anyways my son, you are growing amazingly. You are getting so big now. I couldn't tell you how much you weigh...I am gonna guess around 15 or 16 pounds at 7 months. Which I am pretty happy with. You are doing so much more these days too. We are so proud of you. You are doing great with sitting up, rolling over, reaching for things, making your way across the living room, standing up onto things on your own, eating solids, nursing, talking, remembering things, trying to wave hello or goodbye...yeah pretty much a million other things too...but that abou sums up your 7 month update! Love,
Your Mama! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia |
