Dawson is eight months old and such a delight. He has finally decided to start sitting up and he has become efficient enough with rolling that he can travel throughout a room. By 8 months Ella was crawling, so he is definitely slower with mobility than she was, but we have no worries. I am thankful that he is easing me in to chasing him around.
He hasn't changed much since the last post (6 months). He is taking two naps a day, typically around 10am and 2pm. He still loves his bed and doesn't fall asleep easily anywhere else. Naps are about 2 hours each--if he wakes earlier, he plays and talks to himself in his bed. Nighttime sleep is from 7:30pm to 8am.
He really does love to eat--there has not been anything that I have put in front of him that he hasn't liked. We have added peaches, mangos, bananas, applesauce, blueberries, sweet potatoes, mixed vegetables, peas, carrots, yogurt and chicken to his regular rotation of meals. He also loves che*rios and puffs. And he loves toast that I make for him--just wheat bread dried out in the oven for an hour. He typically eats cereal and fruit for breakfast, a fruit and a vegetable for lunch and a vegetable and cereal for dinner. I have added in chicken or yogurt with lunch or dinner. Nursing is going okay. He definitely seems to be losing interest, but he will not take a bottle. He is nursing when he wakes in the morning, after each nap and before bed in the evening. Sometimes it is only for 5 minutes total! Trying not to worry about it!

oh, Katie, he's such a beautiful boy! What joy on his face in every picture! He still looks so much like you! I'm glad you are enjoying him and Ella clearly is too. We miss you!
Hi Katie! It's so hard to believe that Dawson is so big! Both kids are gorgeous!
