Our baby boy turned 8 months old on December 21st! So, I’m a little behind, but here is what life is like with Camden Lloyd these days.
• No doctor visit this month, but our rough estimates are that Camden is right around 20 pounds and is just over 30 inches long. The long and lean trend continues!
• Cam is in all 6-12 months or 12 month clothes. We are finishing up our current package of size 3 diapers and will then be moving on to size 4!
• Camden is still taking four liquid feedings a day; the two daytime feedings have been transitioned to formula and he does great with it! He continues to be a very distracted eater which makes for sometimes frustrating feedings. Camden eats solids all three meals a day; oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, fruit and veggie for lunch, and rice cereal and veggie for dinner. This month he has also decided that he wants to feed himself! So we usually have to give him some kind of finger food for him to self feed while we spoon feed. His fav finger foods are yogurt melts, puffs, bananas, cheese, and toast. He’s improved dramatically with his sippy cup since last month and drinks water with every meal.
• Camden is an amazing night sleeper and we LOVE it! He goes down about 8:00 and sleeps until 7:30 in the morning. He still wakes earlier some mornings, but plays quietly until we go in to get him. He takes two daytime naps around 10:00 and 2:30 and sleeps between 1 ½ to 2 hours. Lately we have been closer to the 1 ½ hour side of things! He still occasionally makes noise around 45 minutes into his nap, but is able to go back to sleep.
• Camden is EVERYWHERE and into EVERYTHING! He is such a speedy crawler and pulls up non-stop. He also has started cruising along furniture some too. We laugh because you can usually hear him very easily while he is crawling around. He makes a panting noise kind of like Copper does! It is pretty funny!
• Cam got his second tooth this month, another on the bottom. Makes for a funny grin! He also got his first real haircut this month…it made him look so grown up!
• Camden has lots of toys he loves! He loves “Dodger” dragon, activity table, work bench, basketball goal, and balls. His favorite right now is probably blocks…he loves to knock them down when we stack them! He also loves to play with all the household objects that are not toys…the dishwasher, dryer, boxes, Tupperware, doors to name a few.
• Camden makes lots of noises and is very vocal. His favorite time to talk is at Toy’s basketball game; I think this is because it is so loud there and he feels he needs to contribute to the noise!
I don’t think Camden could be anymore fun that he is right now! We absolutely LOVE our precious boy and can’t believe he getting so big!

P.S. It is getting more and more difficult to get him to sit still for a picture with his dog! Enjoy the other attempts. :)
I know it's hard to believe that it could get any better ... but it does. Isn't it amazing how such a little life can change yours so dramatically? Glad you all had a wonderful 1st Christmas together!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to be walking before you know it! I can't believe he's getting so big... it's been so long since we've seen him.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that he drinks out of a sippy at his meals! We're not there yet. :)
