You are 8 MONTHS OLD!! (Yes, I missed month 7, but I'll cover everything, I promise) You are hilarious and so much fun to interact with right now. I think this right here is my favorite baby age. You are snuggly and lovey and easily amused. The look you give me when I show up to get you from school is priceless and makes me feel like the greatest person in the world.
Some facts about YOU:
- You are still in size 3 diapers, size 12 month clothes (the shirts are a little baggy but you need the length).
- You are finally getting a little more hair, however it is still sparse and you definitely rock the random long patch on the top of your head and on the right side above your ear. You are already a blondie.
- You crawl like a mad man. You are super fast especially if you are targeting the dog food bowl. You pull up to standing on everything and only need a fingertip to support yourself. I think you will be walking very soon.
- You still nurse a LOT but we have successfully convinced you to eat real food. Everything is still pureed except for puffs (which you just got the hang of). Your favorite food is coconut yogurt.
- You still only have the 4 teeth but I think more are coming.
- You wave and it's the cutest thing ever. You hold your arms up and move your hands like you're revving a motorcycle.
- When we tell you "no", you smile and shake your head back and forth. Yes, it is a little sassy, but you're too young to get in trouble so we just laugh and try to get you to do it again.
- You love your sister and you two actually can play together now. You especially like it when she plays in her kitchen because she lets you bang the pots and pans.
- You give those awesome open mouthed slobbery baby kisses.
- You still sing yourself to sleep. I hope you never stop, even though it means you can't fall asleep during church.
- You still love water and are a dare devil in the bath.
- You promoted to the "Mobile Baby" class at school. This is very bittersweet for both of us. You get to play with bigger boy toys and have some more freedom, but you miss your teachers very very much and they miss you too.
Love you big boy!
