Denton is 8 months old. He is just growing WAY too fast. Time goes by so fast when they are little but with two kids, it seems to be on fast forward! All of the milestones for Denton seem to be coming so fast, I hardly remember him as a tiny little newborn.
He is getting up on his hands and knees and can move forward a bit but then goes back to the tummy/army crawl (but he is fast with the army crawl). He is climbing stuff and really wants to get into things. He opens cabinet drawers in the kitchen so it is definitely time to put those child locks on them. He loves his bath time with his sister. After I take him out and get him dressed, he crawls right back into the bathroom and tries to pull himself up onto the side of the tub. He can just about do it too, scary. He is starting to clap and gets the biggest smile on his face when he does it. He has one palm open and one closed, but he still does the clapping action. He still only says da-da but he does lots of other sounds, but nothing resembling words. I stopped nursing him a few weeks ago. He was down to just one nursing session a day anyway and he just stated to really lack interest in it. So we have him completely on formula now. He eats a lot of food now. All types of fruits and veggies and chicken, rice, noodles, waffles, bread/toast etc. I still make his baby food myself but have just been making things chunkier so he can adapt to chewing.
Denton is such a happy easy going baby. He is always smiling and giggling and just bringing us so much joy. Riley is definitely a mini version of me and Denton is for sure a mini version of Dan. it is amazing how much they look just like each other as well. I will have to find some pictures of Riley as a baby at this age and post them because it is amazing how similar they look!!
For now we are just getting in all of the snuggles and cuddles and play time with him as possible because before we know it, he will be running around and needing us less and less :(
