8 Months

Now that we are a week away from turning 9 months, I thought it was time to finally do Davis's 8 month old post!



Weight: 18 pounds 6 ounces
Length: 27 3/4 inches

  • You are a great eater! You are eating 3 solid food meals a day and make the sweetest "Yumm" noise when we give you bites of food. Only foods you are not crazy about are spinach and carrots.
  • You are SO close to crawling! You still scoot yourself across the floor to get to different toys, and can also get up onto your hands and knees and rock back and forth. You are a very busy boy! It was so hard to take your picture this month, because you just wanted to get down and GO!
  • You are wearing all of your 9 month clothes and still in size 3 diapers. 
  • You love our outside workout class that we go to 3 days a week. You smile and laugh the whole time and love getting to see the other babies at the class. You are a very social boy!
  • You also LOVE your books. You can never read, be read, or chew on enough books in a day.
  • We have so much fun at home together during the day, but you light up the second your daddy walks in the door from work! You have also started saying Dada this month. 
  • You love walking to check the mail (especially when Daddy goes with us-you think he is so funny). You know what is about to happen as soon as we take a few steps towards the door and get so excited! We think you say "outside, outside."
  • You laugh so hard when Daddy puts you on his shoulders, dances, and sings.
  • You are very observant and really take in everything around you. It is so sweet to watch you trying to figure everything out. 
  • You haven't been as great of a sleeper this month, which makes Mommy sad, but I know it is because you have your two top teeth that are trying to poke through your gums. Teething is no fun!

We LOVE you SOOOO much and can't believe how fast the time is flying by!

Thanksgiving in Fort Worth

Davis and I spent the entire week of Thanksgiving in Fort Worth. It was so nice to be surrounded with family! Robert even got to come up for a long weekend...a HUGE treat for everyone, especially me! :) It was so fun to spend time with all of our family and even attend (our first) the last TCU game of the season...hoping for better luck next year! While we were in town, Davis became a much more mobile baby. He is now crawling and trying to pull up on everything! I can't believe that we will be back in town for Christmas in just a few more weeks! Here are some pictures from the week and a bunch from Thanksgiving day at the Nichols home!

First trip to the zoo

Last weekend was Davis's first trip to the zoo. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! I had a good friend from Fort Worth in town, and so our family of three met up with her and her crew of little ones for a great day at the Houston zoo. I see many more trips to the zoo in our future! :)
