Eight Months!

Tommy hit eight months on the 27th.  He has gained so many new skills this past month.  We're having a hard time keeping up with our little man.

 Now that he's crawling we had to get a baby gate.  He loves to wear on Mommy's nerves by standing at the gate (at the top of the stairs) and shaking the gate as hard as he can. 

 Bath time is happy time.  Tommy loves the water and is guaranteed to giggle all the way through his bath.

 Again at the gate....this kid just won't give up!

Following Mommy while I run the vacuum.  He loves the sound and he really loves to chew on the power cord.

 He loves hoods and hats.  And looks so darn cute in them too.

Covered in peas - his favorite food.

Tommy loves to explore and crawl into little spaces.  He likes using the dining chairs as a jungle gym.

 He has figured out how to smile for the camera.  We love his huge, toothless grin.

 

 Tommy and Daddy are turning into buddies.  They are too cute together.

His favorite snack is paper.  Writing paper, toilet paper, paper towels, newspaper, wrapping paper, tissue paper.....you get the idea.  He is always on the prowl for paper to eat.  Yuck!

New skills/changes: crawling, pulling himself up on furniture, cruising along furniture, smiling for camera, holding his own bottle, waving, less Mommy separation anxiety, bottom teeth coming in

Favorite foods: baby peas and baby carrots

Tommy wears a size four diaper, can fit a range of clothing sizes but mostly wears 6-9 month.  We think he weighs about 16.5 pounds.

Loves horsey rides on Mommy's tummy, singing songs, being tickled, playing pat-a-cake, chewing on teething rings, looking at books, watching his big sisters while they play, taking baths

Happy eight months Bubba!
