Happy 8 Months

Happy 8 Months to our happy, smiley, giggly, non-sleeping Peanut! You are learning so many new things!

This month you learned to wave. Although you're still getting the when to wave part down. 

You can pick up puffs and eat them by yourself now. It gets a little messy but it's fun to watch. 

You are on the verge of crawling. You get up on all fours and rock back and forth and then flop over. You've pushed off on one leg twice now. Any day now. 

You're timid of strangers (for the first few minutes) and really prefer Mommy these days. Daddy was holding you the other night at the table but you kept fussing until Mommy took you. Then you smiled and laughed.

You are saying all kinds of new words...we just can't understand them. But we hear new consonants these days.

You love books now. You turn the pages and giggle at the characters.

You love, love, love the bath. Aunt Melissa and Uncle Dave bought you bath toys for Christmas and you love chasing them around the tub and splashing in the water. It makes Mommy giggle.

You hate to sleep. You would much rather be hanging out with Mommy at 2am than asleep in your crib. Mommy loves to hang out with you too, but she would much rather hang out when the sun comes back up.

You had another ear infection and we learned you were allergic to penicillin.

We can hardly believe you'll be a year old in just 4 short months. Where has time gone? We can't wait to see the new things you learn this month.
