8 Month Update

Gaven turned 8 months old last Sunday. Here’s Gaven’s update at month 7th:

1) Gaven knows his name. he will respond when u call his name.

2) We brought Gaven to his first camping trip in Carpinteria. He did really well. Slept through all the noises from our neighbors camp and even trains passing by!

3) Encountered sand for the first time. A little freaked out by it at first, but slowly got used to it.IMG_0278IMG_0284

4) Weaned off his pacifier the first week he started daycare. We gave it to him again during his camping trip when he fussed in the morning so he doesn’t wake other campers there, but normally he doesn’t need his pacifier.

5) Still sleeps like a champ. Normal sleeping schedule at night, 7:30 – 6:30-ish am.

6) Day schedule is all off since he started day care. He doesn’t nap as much during the day perhaps due to the interruptions of other kids at daycare. He naps longer with us on the weekends.

7) He is generally a happy baby. Loves to smile and laugh a lot.

9) Climbs on everything. He can easily pull himself up from anything he can grab hold of.

10) He eats solid food 4 times a day! New food that he tried this month were broccoli mixed with carrots, kabocha squash aka japanese squash, and apples, sweet peas, green beans. He is getting more interested in food now. Although sometimes, feeding him is still a hassle, it is definitely getting better.
