EIGHT Months

Well, I can't believe it, my baby is 8 months old (and by the time I get this posted, he will be close to 9 mo). He is so much fun these days. It is hard for me to remember what has happened since last month. He weighs about 18-19lbs. We haven't had an official weigh in at the doc office for the 8 month mark. He can only wear a few 9 month things, mostly wears 12 month clothes the best. He does have several things that are 18 mo that he wears but just doesn't fill out the middle. He still has bright blue eyes (we are praying that he keeps these) and blond, spiky hair.



He is eating a lot! He likes most things except green beans and peas. When he tries something new for the first time, the expression is priceless. I'll try to download a video so you can see this. Hilarious. He is still putting everything into his mouth. He is gotten on all 4's and rocks back and forth so I feel for sure that by next post he will be crawling.

Getting him in his pj's after bed is getting harder and harder. It takes John and I both to get him dressed. He isn't fighting us or anything, he is just so happy (i guess because he feels so clean???) and he flips and flops and we are both ready for bed after getting him dressed in his pj's.

He really seems to like daycare. Every time I go to pick him up he is really enjoying himself. Once a month they ask for volunteers at noon so the staff can have a staff meeting. I went this week and Q was the happiest baby there. No favoritism, I promise. He just played and entertained himself. I did catch him pulling a little girls hair though. But he wasn't like some of the kids, demanding attention or demanding to be held. In fact I made a point of picking him up and loving on him before leaving because while I was there I was attending to lots of unhappy kids and didn't even ever have to do anything for him.

We are loving every minute and can't wait to give him brothers and/or sisters. Life is so full.
