The Asbys: 8 months!

This last month has been the most eventful one thus far! I cannot believe in 4 short months we will have a 1 year old...:(, makes me very sad seeing the time fly so fast.
Developments: Let's see, where do I begin....crawling for 2 weeks now, standing up and pulling up on everything, I'm pretty sure you will be walking before too long you want to so bad!! Your first word was Ma-Ma, unfortunately the day before Father's Day..in front of your daddy :(. Now we get a lot of ba-bas, da-das, ma-mas, it's all so cute when you get going. And finally you had your 2 front bottom teeth pop through at the end of June, whew, seems like the sleeping has gotten slightly better since this! Fingers crossed!!! You are such a joy, you jump all around on the bed with me and your daddy being such a ham, you love to dance to music, and you still love your baths (even more now that you have the whole tub to splash in!).
Eating: You still eat 6 bottles a day, with one being a midnight feeding...we are going to try and shake this one soon, but the sleeping is good so we are afraid to chance it. You are just one of those babies that will not eat a lot during the day and I feel like you were waking up at night a lot because of hunger, so we'll see if we can get rid of this one in the next few months, but no rush :). You eat 3 times a day, oatmeal twice, veggies twice, and fruits twice. You Love sweet potatoes, and looove apples that mommy bakes for you and purees. You love peaches and bananas too, you are now getting peaches cut up so you can start feeding yourself which you are very good at. Recently we have started you on some blueberry yogurt which you also love!!! You are not loving any veggie but sweet potatoes unfortunately, but you will eat peas, carrots, and squash if I mix with oatmeal.
Likes: You still love watching Mickey Mouse, baby einstein, and now you can add Yo Gabba to that thanks to our last visit to Unkie Brad and Coopers house :). You still love watching Kingston, jumping up and down, love getting tickled under your chin on your neck, flipping upside down with daddy, and watching Tyson. You are such a joy!!
Dislikes: You still hate bedtime there's lots of screaming, I just don't think this will EVER change!!You also get fussy at bottle-time, but we are used to all this now so you don't bother us, we just have to plan our dinners out around this time or else we will run the whole restaurant out!
Sleeping: You are sleeping better still, some nights great, some nights not as much. You go down around 7:30, bottle around midnight, sometimes you try and wake around 3:30 or 4:00 but mommy tries hard and you will go back to sleep until around 7am.
I think you weigh around 17 1/2 pounds, you don't have another appointment until 9 months, but this is what you weighed when you had hand, foot, mouth week before last :(. That was a rough week! you were only down and out about 2 days, then mommy got it and was down and out 2-3 days, no fun!!
I love you will all my heart, I cannot imagine my life without you!
