8 months

Aaaaand again, I'm a few days behind on this. 8 months...can you believe it?? It seems like he's been here for so long, yet it's like he just got here. Regardless, time is flying!! Here's where he's at now...

Weight: no official stats until next month but he's about 20 lbs
Diapers: size 3
Clothes: 6 month, 6-12 mth. Depends on brand. He has a small waist, so his 6-12 mth shorts are a tad big on him. He's definitely not the chunk his big brother was. 
Sleep: still getting up 1-2 times a night, depending on his activity level. 3 naps during the day, morning, afternoon, evening. 
Eats: he's pretty much on formula now. I held on as long as I could. It was stressful for both of us. I decided I was going to pump and just bottle feed what I pumped. After a while, I realized I wasn't producing enough for him, so we decide to supplement with formula. Well after a while, we just decided to go with formula. His acid reflux has gotten SO much better. Not sure if its because of the formula or his age. But as far as food, he LOVES avocado still, he likes watermelon and banana. I think we'll start to try more table food and less baby food because he seems much more interested in what we're eating. 
Dislikes: diaper changes, getting his hair washed, changing clothes, getting cleaned up after a meal, getting something taken away from him.
Likes: being mobile, anything and everything about big brother, tucker, cuddling before or after sleep, music, toys, the pool. 

Month 7 was definitely the month he learned all forms of crawling. He started out with an army crawl, figured out how to crawl on his hands and knees, then a bear crawl. He bear crawls on tile and grass. He's definitely a fast little guy and he loves to follow Colton and Adam around. It's so cute!! Anything that big brother is doing, he wants to try to do it too. He's pulling up on anything he can and walking along furniture, walls, etc. he really likes his new water bottle! He observes everything! If we try to hide something from him, he'll look all over for it. And climbing...the kid likes to climb! 

It's so funny to watch both boys and think how different they are. Their personalities are so much different! Colton is very cautious and detail oriented. Corbin is very adventurous and observant. One thing is for sure...they both LOVE being outside!! 

I love these two boys more than I could have ever imagined and I love watching them grow!
