8 Months Old

Drew is 8 months old!!! I cannot believe it!! SO...
Drew's Schedule:
Up around 7:30-8:30am. Drew wakes up quietly. He rarely cries in bed, he has been known to lay there for long periods of time awake and not make a peep. I'll go in there to check on him and he is wide awake just looking around! He goes to sleep very peacefully too. Lay him down with his paci and his blankie (Aden & Anais) and he is out. He still naps twice a day for about 2-3 hours each. He is eating 3 "baby food" meals along with 3 to 4 4-6oz bottles. He loves anything that you put into his mouth!! He can feed himself "puffs" and soft foods from his tray pretty well. About 75% makes it into his mouth. He is still our toothless wonder. He seems to be teething (i.e. drooling, chewing...) but no teeth yet.
Drew...
He is loud...He loves to screech, scream, babble (dadada are new within the last few days).
He can sit by himself without falling over too often. But if he does fall over....he is MAD!!!
He likes his toys, starting to dislike his swing and is pretty ambivalent to his jumparoo. He loves to be held and grab your face and hair.
He has the BIGGEST open mouth smile and dimples!!! He is such a happy little man.

Two Months Old

Time is FLYING!! I can't believe that Drew is already two months old!! He is starting to turn a corner...he has been a pretty fussy baby. The only time he wasn't crying was when he was asleep or being held, primarily by me!! We thought it was a dairy allergy, although nothing really changed when I took dairy out of my diet, we also tried some anti-reflux meds which may be helping some. Now our pedi thinks he may have a soy allergy...but I am not convinced. He does settle down, and he sleeps pretty well, he just seems gassy and uncomfortable, especially in the evenings. We are re-reading "The Happiest Baby on The Block" to see if we can get a few more tips. We shall see! He is still going to bed around 11-11:30 and is usually up for a quick feeding sometime around 4-6am and then back to bed for another 2-3 hours. Not bad...but mommy would really like to eliminate that 4am feeding...I can wish can't I! 

Drew has rolled over from belly to back a few times but not the other way yet. He has great head control and is really inquisitive. He wants to see what is going on everywhere! He has started smiling, especially when Ella talks him. He seems to love his siblings talking to him, which is super sweet!
