Random Joey Update

At 8.5 months, Joey weighs 18.6 pounds.  He's taking about 4 bottles a day (8 ounces a piece), and eating Level 2 foods and "puffs."  He has his two bottom teeth, wears size 3 diapers and 9 month clothes.

Joey is currently on an antibiotic for a left ear infection.  This is his second diagnosed ear infection, but the only way we've known about them is by his goopy eyes; he hasn't seemed to be in any discomfort from the infections. 

He usually goes to bed around 7pm, and can generally sleep through the night.  He usually gets up around 4 or 5am for a bottle and goes right back to sleep - sometimes he doesn't even need that bottle.

He loves toys that make noise, he chews on anything he can get his hands/teeth on, and he loves bathtime.  He sits in the bathtub unassisted, no more baby tub for him!  He is walking, assisted, and can stand for a split second on his own.  He babbles quite a bit, and "dada" is part of his vocabulary, but I don't think he associates it with anyone just yet.  When I try to get him to say "mama," he just laughs.

This is a random update, but I just wanted to capture some of Joey's milestones for my memories later
