At 8 months, Parker is as adorable as ever, if not more. he continues to be easy going and a happy baby full of smiles when he's fed and rested. i am truly treasuring my time with him as much as possible while he's still just a little baby, because low and behold, he's already 8 months! sigh..
Parker has crossed a few milestones at 8 months. he is confidently sitting and can be left alone while i run around and do things. he plays perfectly well on his own with his toys and easily plays with pretty much any toy. an exciting milestone is that parker is getting his first tooth, it is the bottom left tooth! today, he started blowing raspberries! he is able to fall asleep on his own (fingers-crossed it continues to be this way).
In terms of food, he tried beets today and i am not sure if he loved it, but he ate it, alone and blended with sweet potatoes. he's tried spinach, cauliflower, tofu, chicken, and yogurt at this point. this 2nd time around, i am finding it much less stressful when it comes to everything involved with food. i do a little bit of research on what vegetables, meat, and fruits go well together and then i just cook/steam/sautéed them and puree. i remember with preston, i was cooking up a bit complicated recipes and then it was frustrating because he wouldn't eat it. i wish i still have the patience and time to make special baby food for parker because he appreciates it..sigh...it's the 2nd child syndrome, poor guy. i can see how having more kids may continue to get easier now, ha!
