8 Months Old

We are the proud owners of an 8 month old baby. Yes, he has really been around that long, and yes, it has only been 8 months since I had him.

cutest kid ever right?

He is such a big boy. Here is his long list of awesomeness.

He sits all by himself like a champ
He can get to his tummy from sitting without smashing his face
He scoots all over the place by getting up on his knees and then using different combinations of moving one knee forward, getting up on his toes and taking a step or two, moving his arms forward, and always ending with lunging forward to get to where he's going.
He LOVES to hold (anyones) fingers and walk all around, for as long as you are willing to walk with him. he would MUCH rather do that than anything else.
He eats everything. Anything. As much as he can stuff in. He gets all sorts of frustrated if I don't have the next bite ready by the time he has the first one in his mouth.
Still loves the tub. taken today. see his cute bottom teeth?

He has two bottom teeth and his top teeth are very close to coming through.
He got his first hair cut on the first.
He is happy ALL.THE.TIME. even when teething or hungry he's just a titch whiney but tolerable.
He continues to learn new tricks with his daddy.
He is pro at sucking from a straw. Santa brought him some straw sippy cups that are fantastic.
He loves his puppy Tank. and Tank loves Milo. They almost love each other too much. Milo pulls his fur, sking, ears, tail, pokes his eyes. Tank actually does really good and doesn't retaliate. But he loves to lick and nibble Milo. It's actually pretty cute.

playing tug of war together

He LOVES kids and babies. he gets so excited anytime there are kids around and if he can get close enough he kisses them and hugs them.
He likes to dance. Especially to the Hotdog dance. Or the songs on the guitar he got for christmas. He flaps his arms and gets so excited.
And I'm sure he is so excited that in 6 months he will be a a BIG BROTHER!!
