How are you already 8 months old, sweet, sweet boy? Time with you has been flying by! You are still the sweetest and happiest baby boy I know!

• You have been growing so fast! You now wear 6-9 month clothes and have already moved up to size 4 diapers. 
• You love to eat and try new foods. You are now eating 3 solid food meals a day and enjoy those meals more than your bottles throughout the day. The only foods that you haven't been crazy about are turkey, avocado, and carrots. While you love to eat your solid food meals, you go crazy over snacks of Puffs and Mum Mums. 
• You are SO close to really crawling. You can definitely get to wherever you want to go by either rolling or scooting towards it. Your favorite things to go after- remote controls, cell phones, or any of your big brothers cars he leaves out on the floor. You sometimes will get frustrated when you're trying to get somewhere, but we know that any day now, you'll figure it out and we won't be able to slow you down. Changing your clothes and diapers has become a real challenge, you are just getting to be such a busy boy! 
• The weather this month has been amazing, so we have been able to spend a lot more time outside, and you LOVE it! You love to sit in the grass out in the backyard and watch your brother run around. You even like to go and run errands just so you can look out the windows in the car and be outside running in and out of places. You are becoming an outside boy for sure! 
• You have become so much more vocal this month- your favorite word is "Dada" and you say it over and over. You also still say "Mama" and make a "Mumm" sound whenever you want or are eating food. You have also mastered the "milk" sign and "all done." You also have associated the "all done" sign with being picked up, so you start to make this sign whenever you want to be picked up! ...smart boy.
• You love to be held and love when Daddy will put you up on his shoulders and dance and bounce. However, your favorite entertainment is watching your big brother!
• In the past couple of weeks, you have started taking 2 naps a day. You still take your 9am nap and then go back down around 1pm. Sleeping at night has gotten better...but still isn't great. We still have to go into your room about twice a night, but hoping that you get to be a better sleeper soon!! 

It is so fun to watch you learn and discover new things around you and things that you can do now! You are such a delight and your sweet smile is infectious. I can never get enough of it!
