28 Floors Up...: 7 and 8 Months

I love doing his monthly posts because it really does give me a way to look back and check out what he was doing from month to month. He is so much fun and really does grow each day and learns something new each week. We are so blessed to have this little kiddo!

So, I am not sure when he started doing different things, but below is where he is at now:

Eats 5 times a day 6-7 ounces each ( I think I am going to work on getting him down to 4x day at 8 ounces, but we will see) - he calls the shots;)
Eats lots of solid foods - vegetables are still his favorite. He really is not a huge fan of fruits, I am not really sure why. We mix in small bites of solid food with baby food. This is working great for us right now and it is great transition to more solid foods for Grayson.
He was on Alimentum, but I wanted to see if he could handle Soy and he can, so I am going to try and get him on regular formula to see if he has kicked the lactose intolerance issue. We will never know unless we try, but I am praying that he is done with it!
He says Mama, HeHe, Baba, gaga, and doodoo and sometimes Da - but no dada yet. Also, when he says these things, he does not know that I am mama. Funny side story, my hubby's name is Matt and he said Ma (as in Matt not, Mama) so he is convinced he is just going to call him Matt instead of dad.
He is really not a fan of the sippy cup but he can use. He would honestly just like to remove all lids and then drink from them that way:)
He can almost wave - he does it down low
I have only seen him clap once - in time it will come
He pulls up and cruises on everything!!!!!
He crawls everywhere like a madman and he is fast! Baby proofing has already been in full effect
He loves watching Nick Jr. - side note, does anyone else think it is weird that those are full grown adults singing on Yo Gabba Gabba or shows like it???!!! SO creepy!
He started swim lessons at Aquababies and loves it!
We start the Little Gym on Wed.
He has play dates with friends in the area - shout out to Logan E:)
He started sleeping in his room at 7 months and he FINALLY started sleeping through the night again...I am not sure what happened there for a good month and half.
He now has 8 teeth and 6 came at one time.... Poor baby
He still is not good at napping - 45 min to an hour max (maybe 3x day if we are lucky....)
He can throw a serious temper tantrum if he does not get his way.... oh Lordy!
And he caught his first serious cold with temps of 103.2 and throwing up (poor baby)
