Seven, Eight, Ain't that Great

So, we're a little bit behind with the month by month updates for Dane so today we have a two for one deal for you. Seven and eight month updates...enjoy...

At SEVEN months, Dane Garrison....
...is still smiley as ever

...LOVES his big brother. No one can get this guy to smile like the singing or talking of his big brother Cade. What, you can't tell from this picture?
...can sit up unassisted like quite the big guy
...is around 20ish pounds from our calculations and approximately 28.5 inches
...STILL has no teeth (dear Dane's teeth - you can push your way through his swollen little gums any time now. Thanks, his loving mom)

...has a big love fest going with his daddy...there was no getting him to smile at the camera for me when daddy was waiting in the wings

...is starting to figure out his forward motion army crawl

...is really starting to squeal and "talk"

...is still sleeping through the night, with some hiccups thanks to the aforementioned teeth (again, push through any time now)

...is half in size three diapers, half in four

...still eating 8 ounces, 4 times a day and has solids in the morning and evening

...is wearing 6-12 and 12-18 month clothes

...usually naps twice a day but is starting to nap for shorter periods of time (hopefully this resolves itself soon sweet boy..you need your snoozes!)

At EIGHT months, Dane Garrison...

...is reading...okay, maybe not..but he tries...

...and he tries happily! Dane is truly such a smiley, happy little guy...
...is getting to be so big..and mobile...I had to quick snap this photo before he rolled over and went on the move...yep, he's a scootin', army crawlin' boy...

...is sitting up like a champ..and chompin' like a champ...but still no teeth :(

...is starting to dislike the restrictive nature of the bumbo seat

...loves going after big brother's toys

...is studying for his ACTs and LSATs...this smart little cookie must be taking after his mama...oh wait, maybe he's just checking out his fellow babies in one of his fave books...

...routinely practices his yoga move "downward dog"...this boy will be crawling soon for sure...

...went on his first plane ride...and did WONDERFUL

...visited Disneyworld and Hollywood Studios (watch for pics in the next post)

...really enjoys his
exersaucer...until he decides he needs to move

...
is enjoying more solids foods including pumpkin/banana, broccoli, pears + peas, banana raspberry oatmeal, peaches, mangoes, green beans + rice and peas + rice, among many others

...has started sampling the baby puffs but isn't quite the fan...yet...

...has started to hold his own bottle routinely

...is
rockin' the size four diapers and 6-12 month and 12-18 month clothes

...drinks four 7.5-8 ounce bottles a day

...eats solids two times a day

...usually naps about twice a day, typically with one longer nap and one shorter nap (unless he's at the Y, then you're lucky if you get 20 minutes all day)

...is still such a sweet, happy, smiley boy that is so well loved by his mommy, daddy and big brother
Cade

And just like that, we're nearly to nine months...be back in a few weeks for the next update!
