8 Months Old

Time really does fly and lots happen. I think from month 7 to month 8 was felt really long but Isaac accomplished SO much!
I'm assuming he is around 15-16 lbs (1 more month until he is properly weighed)
He is longer but I havent measured him to know for sure how long
He has mastered sitting up by himself
He has mastered crawling, he is a pro at it!
He pulls himself up on everything! His favorite is pulling himself up on me lol
He also can now take a few steps sideways while holding on to things
He can now pick up little yogurt bites or puffs and feed himself
AND he now has 2 holes at the bottom of his gums which means he is so close to finally getting teeth!
The past few nights he has been sleeping from 4-5 hours straight!!
For example bedtime is 7pm and he will sleep until 1030 or 1130 then wake up and then go back asleep until about 4 and then until 7 or so and i dont get him out of bed until 730 (he plays quietly)
I will be moving bedtime to 730 or 8 so that I can more morning time to myself to shower and workout
He eats about 6 ozs of milk at a time every so often with solid foods and yogurt/puff bites.
He has his whiny moments....but thats probably partly cuz of his teeth hurting him
Naps are starting to be kind of hard because he can pull himself up so he just doesnt rest but i can get 2-3 naps usually.
Weekends i'm lucky if he gets 1 nap especially on Sunday because daddy is home so it throws off our routine.
He loves crawling after the kittens and pulling out books from my bookshelves.
We havent really child proofed yet. We have 1 gate up so he wont crawl to the cat food and eat it. Other then that we watch him constantly.
He has fallen a few times and bonked his head but that comes with learning to be mobile sadly.
He also loves cords which are hard to hide so we are always always watching him.
Soon I hope to get a big entertainment center so i can lock up the wii u and dvd player so he can't turn them on all the time.
He says Mama really well and na na and ba
He also kind of waves which is really cute
he still fits in some 3-6 month clothes and 6 months clothes he will probably be in for a little while
He doesnt mind other people as long as its me holding him until he gets to know them for a few minutes.
He is a flirt and smiles and is cute with everyone (from a distance at first)
He hair is growing in patches lol
We still do cloth diapers but occasionally we do disposables so you will see pictures of both!
He keeps me on my toes thats for sure!

I really need to print out pictures and organize and make a cute scrapbook sometime in the future. It probably wont happen because scrapbooking takes time and money.

The cats are growing up like crazy! They are so cuddly and loving to everyone but now shed like CRAZY!
Trying to get back to working out but some of my workout cds arent working well so I need to fix that first.
I'm primary chorister in our ward and lately i've been feeling so lost, I just feel like i'm all over the place and i'm frustrated at feeling that way. I need to prepare better but the week flys by and next thing you know its Saturday! Eventually I will get it all together.
Spencer is back in school doing BYU Idaho online and its been working out pretty nice for him.
I just try to keep the house clean as much as I can make myself lol
My best friend Hillary and I hang out at least once a week which is nice to have someone besides a baby to talk to lol
We've had 2 loses in our family. My Grandma passed away at the age of 91 almost made it to her 92nd birthday. And my sister in law lost her baby boy Carter at 22 weeks pregnant.
So we've had some sad moments in our lives but it makes me very thankful for the plan of salvation!
We've been making future vacation plans and other plans, can't wait for summer time! 4 more months until Isaac is 1! So crazy!!
Now its been awhile since i've posted pictures so here are a few below
