8 months

8 months...

is that really all i've known you?
seems like i've known you forever,
a whole lifetime.
like you've always been around,
always been a part of me,
always been my little guy.

what a blessing to have you here with me now and not just in my heart.
the past 8 months have been so indescribably amazing.
i've loved watching you grow and getting to know you.

you are all over the place now and into everything! you army crawl like a mad man! we say that you look like a wounded soldier when you're crying and crawling at the same time! it's so pitiful-'waaah...drag...waaah...drag'...

you still don't really like playing with your toys, you would much rather be doing something else like pulling the leaves off mommy's plant, eating mommy's socks or "playing" your favorite instrument the trusty door stop. lately boxes have become a fun source of entertainment for you.
you're my little explorer.

one of your favorite things is running into the dogs' water bowls when you're in your walker. you're a mess!

you are getting your second tooth on bottom. i'm sure going to miss my 'one tooth wonder'.

oh and you are getting so much better at eating food! bananas and applesauce are a couple of your favorites. the face you make when you take the first bite of applesauce kills me though! *sour*

as i was writing this you managed to fall jump from your crib after your nap. guess we will be lowering your bed tonight! don't worry you didn't get hurt my tough little man.

love you so much bubba, 

momma
