Life With The Lius: EIGHT

EIGHT

By Unknown 6:55 AM 6-9 months, Sutter Joseph

On June 7, 2015 Sutter J. turned 8-months-old!

Weight: Around 20 lbs I think.

Length: Not sure on length. I would say like 27.5 inches or so.

Size: Still mostly 6-12. Although, the large portion of his summer shorts are 3-6 months. He is top heavy for sure. Size 3 diapers during the day and size 4 for nighttime. We haven't had anymore leakage at night since moving up sizes!

Hair: Really long. People keep calling him a girl, which is super annoying, because he doesn't look anything like a girl. I am really hoping to hold out on the haircut till 12 months, but I don't know if that is going to be possible. His hair is so long in the front and on the sides it's staring to get in his eyes. It's still a medium to light brown with a reddish tint.

Eyes: My dad swears they are brown, but they still have some blue in them too. I think they are going to be a grey-ish or a hazel-ish color. But only time will tell.

Nicknames: Bug is what I always call him. Or butt. I know, I'm a great mom.

Sleeping: Some nights it's pretty decent, others no so much. Teething has been kicking our butt along with really messing with Sutter's sleep. He goes down between 7-8 depending on how tired he is acting. Normally is up one time and then back down till 6 or so. Sometimes he is up more than once though. We have a routine, but I still do naps and bedtime more so on demand. Normally two naps that range anywhere from 1-2.5 hours.

Diet: Still breastfed. Hoping to make it to a year! Eats every 2-3 hours or so. Still doing solids at dinner time. I think I will probably start doing breakfast next month as well. The kid loves to eat.

Health: Healthy and happy!

Milestones/Memorable Moments:

Can get himself into the sitting position on his own now!
TEETH! He has one, and is working on the other!
Second Royals game!
Trying lots of new foods.
Has started to try and pull himself up and can stand for a few seconds at a time.
In a convertible carseat now!
