Levi at 8 months

Sleeping
-loves to cuddle, especially having his face either buried into your face or an armpit/boob
-generally goes to bed ~6:45 and will wake up once or twice right now and eventually wake up at 5:30ish. Then snooze for another hour in bed with me.
-the 'cry-it-out' method we used on Addi is not working on Levi. It's more like the up and down method where we (Scott) picks him up and consoles him until he's sleepy again and lays him back down 
-morning naps are not consistent. Levi ranges from napping between 8:30-10:30 and sometimes it's one nap or two. The time also ranges between 15 minutes to about 45-60 minutes.
-afternoon naps are usually about 2 hours and with me in my bed :)
-UPDATE the last 3 nights he has simply laid down in bed and gone to sleep like he used to (as in nurse, burp, sing, lay down, kiss, "night night, love you Levi", and leave) and sleeps until 6am. WOO! 11 hours!

(smacking his gums, and then at the end "oo! cheerio!")
Playtime
-would much rather sit on the floor and have free range than sit in the excer-saucer
-currently likes to chew on anything and everything due to his teething
-loves playing with his sister, when she is playing nicely
-enjoys a good book or too when read by Addi

(just look at those cheeks!)
Eating
-just beginning to figure out how to get a cheerio into his mouth. He takes them, fiddles with it, and misses his mouth
-loves to eat. period.
-he sees you eat, and demands food.
-nurses whenever he feels like it, he has no timing
 
(those two shiny things are his first two teeth. it's the best I could do)
