8 months and his first snow

So I have noticed that Jaxon has been more cuddly lately and clingy.  We took him to the nursery for our small group time and for the first time he cried when we left him.
Thankfully up until this past month we haven't had to take him to the doctor, he's been a pretty healthy baby.  A snotty nose a couple times but nothing major.  On the 13th of January, he started to get a little snotty again, this time it lasted a week.  During naptime or when he would wake up in the mornings, I noticed some spit up or his sheet was wet, like he had extra drool or snot that made it wet.  This happened once a day for like a week.  I was thinking maybe he choked on his mucus and it caused him to spit up.  He never really acted sick and didn't have a fever.  Thankfully I took him to the doctor on January 18 just to be on the safe side and he had a mild ear infection and gave him some medicine. They weighed him and he was 18lbs.

I really enjoy my time with him, especially when he is clingy and cuddly and just wants to put his head on my shoulder.  I think he is going through a growth spurt, his nap schedule has been different lately.  He gets tired for his afternoon nap sooner.  He nurses 4-5 times a day, with yogurt/applesauce in the morning and 6 ice cubes of food for dinner.  He is definitely a growing boy.  He really wants to crawl on all fours but hasn't quite figured it out.  I guess you can call it an army crawl.  He will lay on his tummy and rock from side to side and scoot and reach for a toy that we have laid in front of him to get.  He is really growing and we are having so much fun with him.

Jaxon's first snow came on January 18 with about 3-4 inches.  Thankfully school was cancelled for Brian and we were able to be home together.  We bundled Jaxon up and took him outside.  Once one shoe and one mitten came off and he touch the snow he didn't really like it.  We watched Brian build a snowman and he was fine being outside as long as we held him and he didn't have to sit in the snow.
