Our little man is 8 months today! He is now 18 lbs 2 oz and
just about 26 inches in length. He’s so adorable and a lot of fun. He’s growing
and learning everyday.

It seemed that as soon as he turned 7 months he started a whole new set of
tricks and skills. He has also kept us very busy and hasn’t stopped since. You
see, he started full blown crawling (no more of his own versions) and he took
cruising to the next level as he wasn’t just standing or even inching his way
anymore, he’s walking right along couches and other objects pretty fast now…
just moving along like it’s no big deal. So yes we have a crawler & cruiser
over here. Which means he’s into EVERYTHING. Every wire in the house, book,
phone, remote control, LAPTOP, and even every one of ME’s toys.. he wants and
grabs for… and if it’s food- you better really watch out! haha. He’s funny
though and it’s cute to see him explore. It just keeps us on our toes.
Ya know with your first you are like awww and can’t wait for them to walk and
stuff… but right now we’re thinking- hey you- stop doing that, just be a baby
as long as you can!!

Along with that, he’s babbling up a storm. Around 7 1/2 months old he started
waving and it’s gotten better and better since then. He’s got a great cute wave
and will accompany it by saying hi… it comes out more like "h
aaahhh" but I know he’s saying hi because he does it in the same fashion
we do- tone wise and whatnot. It’s adorable when he does it! He has also been
caught saying hi to some of ME’s cartoon characters on tv!
In addition to babbling though he still likes to scream here and there, and not
just when upset, for fun! It makes us crazy at times though.

He’s always laughing and loves peek a boo as he has for a while. He loves to
laugh with his sister. He likes when we come in his room after he’s had a nap
and he peers over the bumper and then lifts himself up. He gives us a huge
smile- so happy to see us.
Along with that, he doesn’t like to be left alone and will often cry if I leave
the room now. Nothing traumatic though. Sometimes I play with him and make him
crawl to come and get me and he’ll come and follow of course.

He’s so sweet, and rather cuddly too. I just can’t believe he’s growing up so
fast… I should be used to this by now since my baby girl is already 3… I
just want to slow time sometimes though! *Sigh*
