Eight Months Old

Eoin has reached the ripe old age of eight months! He hasn't grown much, he is still about 24 lbs and 30.5 inches though considering he lost a pound last week from being ill the fact that he is back to 24 lbs in a week is quite an achievement!

The biggest difference this month is that the little fella is mobile. Today he head dived out of his ball pit in the back yard and also 'crawled' into the kitchen when we forgot to close the gate.

Eoin has also discovered an ability to screech again. He had stopped this before he was ill and had started saying da da da but now he seems to have forgotten his ability to chatter and gone back to screeching but at such deafening levels it's scary.

He is also getting quite frustrated with certain things. He has started to complain if he doesn't get what he wants or if he can't reach what he wants first time round. He has also started to cry when we go out of sight, so maybe the beginnings of separation anxiety.


As of yet we still don't have any teeth and we're still not sleeping through the night but then he goes to sleep around 6-6.30pm and on a good night wakes around 12 midnight for a quick cuddle and then a feed around 2 am and then is up wide awake at 6am. Lately though between him being ill and then this week with it being 100 degrees plus that has all gone to pot and he waking every couple of hours. So the tasks for the next month are going to be working on reducing the use of the pacifier (dummy) to sleep and trying to get him to wake just once at night.
