8 Months Old!

       


Our baby boy is officially 2/3 of a year old, and he just keeps getting cuter and sweeter every day. This last month saw a few new milestones. Two teeth are coming in on the bottom (they popped up at Davey and CC's Wedding). He is still pulling himself up to stand, but now moves around and also can push himself up to stand on his own for a few seconds. This boy just doesn't stop.

He is also developing socially - giving (open mouth) kisses to his mama and papa (and Martina and Terry at daycare) and will wave his arm in greeting (although we're still working on appropriate timing). He chatters away and makes the most ridiculously cute face we call the 'huff and puff' or 'tough guy' face (scrunches up nose and mouth and sniffs in and out really fast).

As you'll see from my last post about our vacation on Hwy 395, he still loves to swim and had the best time ever at Keauhou Hot Springs in Bishop. We will have to make an effort to get him to and indoor pool throughout the winter. Second best is bath time, which he looks forward to every day.

He puts away the solid food like a champ, new additions include spinach, peaches, applesauce and butternut squash. He's growing so quickly and packing on the pounds. We are very proud parents.

Here's a video of his typical antics (I apologize for the singing):
