Whenever people see Cade, they immediately mention his good looks. Once interacting with him, 95% of people say, "He's so chill/relaxed/easy-going." And now sitting with him, "He's mobile, huh?"
Cade wants to move sooooo bad. He can go from sitting to a crawling position, but doesn't quite know how to move his body forward. Once he falls on his belly, he gets a little frustrated. But, his persistence leads to him rolling around until he relocates completely.
Cade relocating.
...And if you're sitting next to him, he will climb all over you.
His unofficial measurements are around 26 inches long and close to 17 pounds. He wears size 2 diapers and 9-month clothing. He's got a little chub on his legs, but NOTHING like his Big Sis. He is definitely small compared to her at this age.
Sleeptime is still pretty successful. With a morning and afternoon nap, this guy sleeps just as much as he needs. Sometimes the naps are an hour and a half, sometimes 30 minutes. Either way, he balances them out and wakes up happy until the next sleep time. And if naps weren't that great in the day...he usually falls asleep during his last feeding at 7:30. And still makes it to 7:30 the next morning!
This kid eats everything. Sometimes I wonder if I am giving him foods that are too advanced, but hey...Doc said anything besides peanut butter and honey. So...everything else it is. He does great picking food up with his fingers and feeding himself.
Some new Accomplishments and Fun Facts as an 8-Month-Old include:
He will mimic grunting noises.
Everything must be dropped on the floor. Everything.
He loves blankets to sleep with.
We go for a walk everyday and he enjoys watching his sister play.
Each month, he shows more enthusiasm for bath time. So much enthusiasm in fact that he falls face first in the water several times. Doesn't bother him.
He loves playing with door stoppers.
He's a gem. Looking forward to full mobility...I think.
