8 Months Old

Weight: 23ish pounds

Height: 29ish inches

Clothing Size: Mostly 12 month clothing now. Some jammies are 18 month but that's because I hate the skin-tight pajamas that stores sell.


Daily Schedule: We've started waking Tanner up around 7:30 so we can fit his morning nap before morning errands or during preschool hours. Two naps a day around 9:30 and 2:30. Naps are finally getting better and longer, which is great! Bedtime around 7:30 or 8 as well. Pretty predictable schedule most days. He's still up once or twice a night but he's at least spacing it out so he might wake up at midnight and then sleep until 6am to eat quickly again.

Personality: I love Tanner's personality! He is a very chill, happy baby. The only time of day he is grumpy is during meals. He would prefer to eat very quickly and hates being spoon fed. It is too slow for him. We just can't shovel the food in fast enough for him. Otherwise, he is content and smiley. So far, he doesn't seem too picky about things. He crawls on grass, sand, concrete, etc. He loves the splashpad and swimming. He eats everything we've given him so far. He doesn't mind sitting in the stroller for walks or riding in the car. Very different than Ashton, who was (and still is) very opinionated as a baby. Tanner continues to sleep on the go, which is nice too. His favorite activity is almost always whatever Ashton is doing. He must check everything out that she touches or plays with. This annoys Ashton a lot but it's comical to us.


Firsts: Continues to cruise along furniture, climb onto shelves, first time sleeping through the night (which then caused me to get mastitis so I am content with him waking up at night instead of getting that again)

Sibling love: Ashton is slowly learning how to play with Tanner. She's starting to encourage him to do things and cheer him on. She loves to race around the house with him and crawl away from him. Tanner finds this hilarious and will laugh every time.

He now pushes Ashton around in this. He loves it.

So pleased with his dirt beard

Whining that Ashton is outside and he is inside.

His little bowtie!

How Ashton likes to wake him up from naps.
