Happy 8 month birthday (yesterday) Brooks!!!
At 8 months you
* are more fun then ever
* keep mommy very busy- I don't get to blog nearly as much but we have fun
* take 2 naps a day (90 min morning nap, 75 min afternoon on a great day)
* still wake up twice a night at great peril to Mommy's sanity
* sit fantastically on your own, then plunge into a stomach position
* push up on your hands (not just your arms)- getting ready to crawl maybe?
* get very frustrated/angry at your lack of mobility and let us know
* say 'Hey' to Mommy and Daddy as a way of greeting us
* think the dog's tail is a toy much to her horror
* love everything that you can't have- USB cords, laptop, telephone, remote, etc
* are eating a variety of finger foods in addition to baby food. You are still hit or miss on how much you eat per day- some days I can barely get a jar of baby food in you, some days you down 4 jars
* find yourself in the mirror to be fantastically amusing, and give yourself slobbery kisses
* love hanging upside down- love, love, love it.
* really like to make things rattle/jingle/etc in your hand
* stand on your own holding onto a table or the couch (without mommy or daddy's help)
* fall asleep on your own in your crib
* are still nursing (go us!)
* are in your big boy carseat (mommy misses the infant carrier b/c now she can't bring you in the house still asleep)
* sit in high chairs and shopping carts when we go out
* laugh like a loon at everything
*are very ticklish- especially in your pits and on your feet
*shriek- all.the.time. You are a crazy man with shrieking- i LOVE it
* are starting to try to pull yourself up on things. You have not mastered it, but you are getting there. Gymboree sure will help with that!
*are a complete wiggle worm. You can no longer be propped up sitting on the couch, a chair, your changing table, anywhere- you will head dive forward from wherever you are.
*are impossible to get dressed (see above)
How much have you grown? AKA- the case of the shrinking chair & monkey
5 days old
8 months:
1 Month:
And of course- this month's chair picture (above) was not easily obtained- although it may be my fave one yet because of how happy he looks to be 8 months and how he is showing us how big he is. It did take a lot of picture taking to get it.
Brooks was more interested in eating the monkey.
Was laughing so hard he was falling over
You can tell I take a lot of pics of him- he hams it up for the camera!
Many shots had the monkey fallen over b/c he kept grabbing it... while cute, not good for comparison!
And- as stated before- he tries to forward climb out of everything. Picture taking was difficult b/c he kept trying to get off the chair.
AND- this just in- our Valentine's Day Photo Shoot!!!
"Hey Ladies!"
It was this action that created the rose petals on the ground, he killed the first rose
Will you be my valentine?
So handsome
