8 Months


8 months. I get more sad everytime I post one of these monthly spotlights of him. Time goes too fast. I am looking forward to a lot of things that are to come with him, but it is still sad that he is becoming less and less of a baby. Okay enough of that.

-He's huge. Don't know his measurements, but he seems huge.

-He is a talker! Babbles all of the time. It is so cute. And I love watching his little mouth move when he tries to talk, because it just looks so funny.

-Still not crawling. He will get onto his hands and knees by himself, but doesn't ever move forward. He scoots side to side, in a circle, and backwards, but never forward. Maybe by next month he'll be crawling.

-Spoiled little stinker. He does not like to play by himself. I don't know if it's a stage he's going through, or if I have just spoiled him rotten. I can't ever walk out of the room without him throwing a fit. It has to stop. I do not want spoiled children attached to my hip.

-Lately he will only sleep on his tummy. Everytime I check on him while he is napping, he is in some other odd position. This is one I got a picture of.

 -Sometimes he'll be napping, then he'll stir a little bit, then cry. I go in and his arm or leg is through the bars of the crib. Like he's stuck. But he's not actually stuck. I think he just knows that someone will come in. Clever bugger.

-He has really started to love to read books with me. I do my best to read to him everyday, and he pays close attention now. We will read 4 or 5 books, and he won't make a move. He'll just look at the pictures and listen. Favorite part of the day for me.

-His eczema is such a pain. Poor kid is so itchy all the time. I hope he doesn't have it for the rest of his life, but with how bad it is, I have a feeling he will :(

-He doesn't know it yet, but he's excited for summer! Swimming, fishing, camp fires, sliding down the slide at the park... Oh yeah. He can't wait!

Happy 8 months little man! We love you sooo much!!
