8 Months

who's

eight

months

old

today!

Some quick facts for the record:

- Just getting his first teeth (bottom two, though one is through more than the other).
- Rolls everywhere and can be on the other side of the room in a second.
- Rocks back and forth on all fours, then scoots backwards which makes him a bit frustrated.
- More interested in rolling and rocking than sleeping and now fusses sometimes when going down for naps.
- Sleeps from about 8pm - 7am without waking (for the most part).
- Finished up 5th round of antibiotics for ear infection that began in October and is scheduled to see an ENT Tuesday.
- Babbles but generally without consonants. It usually sounds like "yeah, yeah, yeah" (maybe he likes The Beatles).
- Loves Gerber Puffs, but isn't as fond of the Wal-Mart brand.
- Has tried pieces of carrots and apples and didn't love them, but he does like Ritz crackers.
- Discovered how to blow raspberries, so now in addition to spitting up and drooling on you, he also sprays you.
- Loves to chew on soft toys (prefers them over plastic) and his favorite seems to be a lion he got for Christmas.
- Has the sweetest smile and the happiest laugh that always brighten my day!
