8 months

 

WOW! Time is sure flying by. Can you believe I'm already 8 months old. Mom and Dad sure can't. They were just saying that they miss me being a tiny little baby, but sure do love me as a big boy. There is a laundry list of new things I can do...I love kitchen cabinets and drawers, child locks can't hold me back forever. Pulling my toy baskets off the shelf is simply the best, I love the noise it makes. I wake up and go to sleep babbling...my first word was Ma Ma, then Da Da and bye bye. Who knew making sounds would get everyone so excited! My walker is my best friend, we've made a racetrack around the house. I love pretty days when I can take wagon rides. I'm working so hard on crawling, I've got the "Army man crawl" down and Mom said its only a matter of days before I can do the "real" thing. I'm enjoying the fact that I can sit up by myself while crawling around whenever I feel like it. My favorite toys right now are rubber ducks, Gumby, and an empty water bottle with ribbon in it (I LOVE the crinkle noise). I like watching Jack's Big Music Show and Yo Gabba Gabba on Noggin. To Dad's happiness I love watching ESPN with him, football can keep my attention forever. For my car rides I love listening to the praise music cd Daddy made for me. Basically anything involving music I LOVE! Of course if you know me then you know I LOVE TO EAT! I'll eat pretty much anything, sweet potatoes are my favorite though. I love any reason to giggle and laugh, silly faces and Raleigh licking my fingers work every time. Mom's favorite is that I still like to snuggle when its just the two of us. I'll let anyone read to me as long as I get to turn the pages, especially my Elmo book. I could take ten baths a day and love each one more than the last. Dad and Mom say I have such a BIG personality to be so little. I'm just enjoying everything each new day brings.
