8 Months Old!

Ayson had his 8 month birthday yesterday :) We can't believe how fast the time has gone! He is such a fun little dude who is developing new skills and sounds every day!


Here is a snapshot of Ayson at 8 months!! Ayson...

• weighs 15.5 lbs
• has outgrown his 3-6 month clothing and is now wearing 6-9 months
• eats fruit & oatmeal in the morning, and veggies & oatmeal for dinner
• is perfecting sitting on his own
• is starting to push up on his hands and knees
• is teething...but no teeth yet!
  
• can finally go out in public :)
• sleeps through the night...every night! We feel so lucky for this!!!!
• rolls everywhere!
• laughs all the time :)
• loves to look at himself in the mirror
• has a new interest in Sophie & Max
• says "Da-da"
• loves to read books and help us turn the pages
• loves to meet new people and explore new places
• is such a happy and healthy baby!

Ayson still loves his jumperoo :)
He plays with all of the toys and loves to bounce!

Ayson checking out Sophie. He recently has "discovered" the dogs and will smile and try to grab them. So far both Ayson and dogs seems to enjoy each other...we'll see how long that lasts :)

Eating carrots! This is the what happens when dada takes control of the spoon :) You're not having fun unless you are wearing it!

We also had another follow-up with his pediatric ophthalmologist this week. We are so excited to say that he doesn't want to see Ayson again until his 3rd or 4th birthday. His eyes looked great! In fact, he said at this point he didn't foresee any vision problems for Ayson at all! We are so lucky. Prematurity poses a number of issues for vision, and glasses at a young age were highly possible, but it doesn't look like he will need any for a long time! Little man continues to defy the odds :)
