Eight Months

Caleb is eight months old today! He mastered his pull and drag crawl and can get pretty much anywhere. Caleb is loving the fact that he can now investigate the tv/dvd cabinet and underneath the kitchen chairs and table. Kevin has been away in Hanoi for the week so I think he is going to be rather surprised with how quickly Caleb has become mobile.

I find it shocking how much a baby can eat! This boy is going to cost us a small fortune in food by the time he is a teenager. Today Caleb ate two bowls of cereal with prunes and pears for breakfast, banana and yogurt as a snack, chicken with avocado and mango for lunch, and chicken with rice, potatoe and carrot as well as sweet potatoes and applesauce and a rice cake for dinner.

Look at me go!

OMG that's a LOT of food, that made me laugh! We're just considering starting to wean here in the next 2 weeks, he'll be 6 months then, so i'm buying all the supplies! Exciting!

Happy 8 months Caleb! And Lori you just listed more food than Eve ate in months 6-9 of her life total. It's good to have a good eater, he will save you much stress in that department!

Holy Crap! My sister said when my 2 nephews were growing they'd go through $1000/wk in groceries. They'd eat a tub of yogurt & box of granola bars for a snack. I remember taking my nephew to Peter's when he was 7 and he ate 2 double cheeseburgers and their mondo order of fries - I couldn't believe it. He's 6'3" now ... you are definitely in trouble since I am sure Caleb is going to be bigger than that!

It truly is amazing how much a little boy can eat. At 8 months, I was wondering if it was even possible to fill Damian up or if he'd just eat forever.
