8 MONTHS OLD!
Your 8 months old and you've been a very busy boy! Trying finger foods and almost crawling are just a couple of things you've done this month. Here's what else you'e been up to:
30 Weeks:
-You ate peaches for the first time and they are now one of your favorites. :) Your such a good eater.
-You also tried spinach and of course, you loved it as well. You basically will eat anything green.
-You went to bible class for the first time at church on Wednesday night. You did really good, but there were only 3 babies in there. So I think you were held most of the time. :)
31 weeks:
-We can see your second tooth coming in on the bottom left. So cute!
-You have a quick/short fake laugh you like to do now.
-We celebrated our first mother's day together. You were so sweet and I'm so happy to be your mother! In Sunday school bible class you made me a card that said "Thank you for loving me and I'm happy your my mother." :) Mommy cried in the car when she read it....go figure.
-You have started to throw temper tantrums whenever we take something away from you. Like the paper bulletin in church.
-You tried puffs/mums for the first time and you did really good! I now know why they call them mums...because you make a "mum" sound when you eat them. At first you just wanted to crunch them between your fingers but you figured out how to use your pincer reflex and grabbed it between your pointer and thumb. You do prefer to use your left hand though, which is interesting....maybe a lefty pitcher one day perhaps??
32 weeks
-You tried broccoli for the first time and once again...you loved another green vegetable.
-You really have been trying to get on your knees and craw. You have gotten on all fours a few times and rocked back and forth, but you usually just get on your knees with your face in the ground or on your hands and you just look like your practicing yoga.
-You have started using a shrill cry when you don't get what you want. Uh-oh....not a good sign.
-You have started to prefer only familiar faces when people try to hold you, but this is usually only when your tired. So hopefully you won't be too clingy and will be the friendly baby you have always been. :)
33 weeks
-You tried mango and love it.
-Your 9 month outfits are really tight now and you should problem be in 12 month, but mommy keeps trying to squeeze you in them one last time.
-This week you dunked the basketball in your sports toy the first time mommy handed you the basketball! It was awesome...your so smart. :)
-Your getting really good with your hands and wave bye-bye a lot.
-You finally said mama without being angry. I think it's because you have two front teeth trying to come in and your not used to them being in your mouth so it makes a "mom" sound, but that's ok with me. :)
-You can feel a top left tooth now, but they still haven't come in yet.
-You all of a sudden realized you can stand up now. You actually prefer to stand now instead of sitting up and we can prop you up against the living room ottoman and you can stand on your own. Maybe you'll walk before you crawl, who knows?
-You can crawl backwards now...but still no progress forward.
34 weeks
-You tried lima beans and surprisingly they are now one of your favorites.
-You turned yourself around in your bouncy seat for the first time, so now you can entertain yourself more easily.
-You are obsessed with tags. This is nothing new, but I don't think I've ever written it down before now.
-You aren't "crawling" per-say, but you can get wherever you want by rolling around on the floor. So, it's almost as if you don't really want to try and crawl because you can manage this way.
Your so sweet and smart and are learning new things everyday! We love you!
