8 Month Baby Update

I now have an 8 month old! This month was SUCH an exciting and big month for him. So many milestones were reached and we had a lot of fun. You can watch the full video on YouTube. 

8 Month Milestones

This month Camdyn officially started crawling! He has been so close for the past two months, but he is officially on the move. It took a couple days to get his balance figured out, but once he did there was no stopping him. From there he quickly learned how to go from crawling to sitting independently. Then he quickly started pulling to stand.

He also started waving and clapping! All of a sudden we noticed he was waving at family members on FaceTime, and shortly after he started mimicking up when we clapped.

His first two bottom teeth made and appearance pretty close together. I’m going to miss his gummy little smile!!! So far we have had no issues breastfeeding with the teeth – except when he decides to whip his head around with my breast still in his mouth. The teeth have definitely assisted in with chewing tougher foods. He eats pretty much everything and anything. And yes – he got over his phobia of eggs!!! Camdyn also likes to steal whatever myself or my fiancé is eating. He has started developing his pincer grasp – so we will get to try so more challenging foods next month.

He is a super chatty little man and has even said dada (even though I tried soooo hard for his first word to be mama). This past month has been amazing because his personality has really started shining through. He loves to dig through his toy boxes to find his favourite toys, race down our hallway and peak back at us with the cheekiest little smile, and stare out the window. He truly is the happiest little man, and we are so blessed.

What’s Next

The beautiful spring weather has started making an appearance in Southwestern Ontario lately! We plan to spend a lot of time outdoors – going for walks, and playing in the nearby park. I am hoping our social distancing protocols will be lifted soon and I will be able to see my family after a long two months apart.

I hope you enjoyed C’s 8 month baby update! Until next month, XX.
